    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.
