Mosaic,
My parents live 6 miles away from the nearest PDSA, so you shouldn't have a problem about distance - but I don't know what the benefit criteria are, other than council tax one. Look up your nearest branch online, and get the phone number - if you ring them, they will be able to tell you. My dad always makes a contribution when he has to take his cats ( I drive him over there). As far as I know the PDSA give any necessary treatment, including vaccinations, medication, surgery and euthanasia - but do ask them if you're in doubt.

CPL decided it wouldn't be a good idea for me to take the good old boy - he'd already been rehoused and returned once, and they were worried he and the kitten would not be a good combination - one would torment the other because of the age gap. I had some doubts myself, too, as I took on my brother's old boy towards the end of his life, and parts of the house still smell slightly of male cat pee when the sun shines on it - I was a bit worried the old male would just carry right on where he left off! I've spent enough on 'Urine-off' already.

I settled for the 6 month old kitten - her name is Ruby (Kaiser Chiefs were at number 1 at the time!), and she's very affectionate and loving, especially in the middle of the night, when she likes to sleep round my neck! She's a keen hunter by day. CPL ask you to keep cats in at night - not something I'm used to, but given the amount of hunting she does during the day, it's probably for the best! She's brought me 4 live toads (one dropped on my bed while I was still in it) and 2 damaged fledglings, which didn't survive - the downside of being a cat owner who also feeds a thriving population of wild birds and squirrels. Ruby thinks they are there for her entertainment. I should be used to it by now - I used to have 6 cats.

Trying to save all teh money I can to get my new 2 fixed - do't want them roaming when they're older. Been told its going to cost at least £100

Cerenia, speak to your local Cat's Protection League people. They will often provide you with a voucher to take to a local vet to allow you to have your cat's "fixed" for free. You can always give them a donation towards their expenses but it will be cheaper than paying out £100. Our two cat's came from the CPL and came with vouchers to have them "fixed". We gave them £50 and a huge bag of Cat biscuits.....cheaper than a trip to the vet's.
