I've lived in my house for 4 months. Bear with me as I'm not sure how exactly to word this....
When we moved in the neighbours son was in my son's nursery, so we said hello. Not much more.
We moved in with our cat, he was about 8 months old then. The neighbour said she was getting 2 kittens in a few weeks.
Anyway about 2 months later I heard meowling at the back gate, and thought it was out cat wanting to come in.
When I went to look I saw the neighbours 2 kittens in the back lane crying.
I immediately knocked on my neighbours door and said 'oh I think your kittens have escaped, they are in the lane' she just said 'aw ok' and sent her teenage son to get them.
Anyway later that day my DP said to me that he thinks she deliberately threw them out....(I tend to agree to be honest)
Roll on today and I am sure I've just seen one of her kitten in the middle of the road trying to eat bread, looking really skinny and unkempt. I tried to go out with food, but it ran off.
I'm really concerned she has just thrown them out and that's it. They are being left to fend for them selves. They would only be about 6 months.
Should I report her to the RSPCA or is there anything I Can Do?

i would phone the rspca if you are insure, they can investigate. in the meantime, you could try trapping it. here are some steps on how to : www.wikihow.com/Trap-Cats

Try to catch them and get them to a rescue before they get run over or something just as bad. Or call Cats Protection and tell them they are strays and they may trap them.

Rspca might come out but don't hold your breath unless there is a TV crew.

Also, post this in the Litter Tray, someone might be able to help.

Cats Protection League tend to be better at this sort of thing. They will trap them, vet checks, vax, neuter, etc. I’m not a big fan of SSPCA/RSPCA

Thank you. I will look at the links now. I forgot about Cats Protection. Our road isn't busy in a night but I'm worried a car might get it/them.

Put.some.foo d out.for it on your step. Ask her if it's her kitten. Maybe she.can't look after it. The rspc a have never been interested in our concerns.

Jesus that's awful. If you happen to be in Glasgow PM me and I can maybe help, certainly willing to come try and trap them and get them to a rescue.

RSPCA probably not your best bet for getting them help - not sure about their use RE investigating the neighbours, Cats Protection would definitely be the better avenue but they don't generally come out to trap them themselves nowadays! Local rescues are always going to be in the best position to help so I would advise getting a hold of as many as you can and asking for advise.

That's vile :( I wish her infidelity and debt :(

Cats Protection or a local rescue will be best. They will probably trap them and if they dont have microchips then they can rehome them after a certain period of advertising them as found.

YesItsMeIDontCare · 21/09/2018 20:33

RSPCA are shit, definitely try Cats' Protection first.

@thecatneuterer knows everything there is to know about rescuing cats and might have contacts for you depending on where you are.

(Sorry thecatneuterer hope you don't mind the "call out".)
