    They all suggest I foster her - I can not do this. I got a dog and 4 cats that I am struggling with right now.

    My daughter has 2 cats but she is in privately rented place and the landlord is already not very happy with the 2 cats she has....

    :(

    I can do nothing, what with 3 Great Danes and living in the Midlands!
    But I can bump the post for you.

    Spike - thanks a lot for that.

    Got the kitty home now. Definitely pregnant, no idea how far - quite round.

    Tiney little tabby purring machine.....

    Lovelyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
  • Bless her and you. I know, all rescues and charities are stuffed beyond capacity at the moment, so very sad. Last November we found a dumped tabby boy cat, so lovely we couldn't believe no-one had lost him accidentally. Apparently no-one wanted him as he was never claimed, despite advertising and massive house to house calls.

    I really, really hope this story has a happy ending for you and this poor cat. I'd take her to your vet and see what they say - our vet is always taking in kittens to rehome, she has a very persuasive manner and has almost worn me down on mnay occasions........

  • Took her in, tiney little baby cat herself.... little purring and cuddle seekinch machine.

    Kept her in my daughter's room (daughter moved out) and each time I went in - the kitty was running to me for cuddles....

    Just took her to my daughter's place - she will have her kitties there in peace.... but of course got 2 photos for you all here...

    Not great photos but did not want to stress the little girl...

  • She looks much better in real life, the photos are terrible - sorry...

    She is tiney, kitten herself, skinny a bit too but my daughter and her b/f are fussing over her now.....

    They are building her a hiding place to have her babies in... fingers crossed all will be fine

    Thanks a lot everyone...
  • People just never fail to amaze me, I just don't get how they can just leave / dump animals.:mad:

    She's a gorgeous wee thing (with a pretty big belly!). So glad she's safe for now and can have her babies somewhere warm and being well fed.

    Were any of the rescue's willing to put her & babies on a waiting list? (Hopefully they may have room by the time they're born)


    I know the rescues do their best but think some of them really need to re-think their rehoming rules - I know loads of people who desperately want cats/dogs and could offer really good homes but don't meet the strict & "can't be bent a little" rules that many of them now have.:(

  • she is a cutey....but looks pretty small and young in which case I worry that the birth may not be straight forward and/or she will not be mature enough to be a good mum. I dont mean to be negative as I think you have done a great kindness in taking her in. Cat protection will spay a cat for free if it has been fed as a stray.
