Neighbours seem to have left their cat behind

Our next door neighbours moved out on Thursday night.
They had two cats, mum cat and her kitten. The mum cat had the kittens less than a year ago. Most of them were sold however the neighbours decided to keep one kitten.

They did tell me that the kitten was causing problems in the house, it wasn't coping with being left for a long time during the day and it wouldn't eat the samefood as the mum cat and. It sometime scratching furniture. I did notice she seemed to be outside a lot more recently but didn't really think much of it.

So yesterday DS1 told me he thought he had seen the kitten but I said he probably hadn't and it was probably someone else's cat as the neighbours have left. However about an hour ago I could see the cat outside the neighbours house. She doesn't have her collar on though. So I tempted her into our house which is where she is now.

I have seen no sign of the mum cat so I am guessing that they have taken her and just left the kitten.

I don't really know what to do with her. She seems fine in herself but I think the neighbours have abandoned her here.

I am hoping you will have some advice on what to do with her.

She is pretty (norty tortie Wink) she will be coming into season around now so be very careful until she is spayed as you may have a queue of tom cats lining up at your back door!!

Some vets do pet plans which include flea, worming tablets and booster injections they work out good value and def get her insured, i have two cats and insurance has been a God send.

Pink - I'm with you. I've had rescue dogs and now a rescue cat and they have all been adults. (All over 5 in fact.) Puppies and kittens are beautiful but I've never wanted one. (Doesn't stop me from visiting other people's though!)
