One of the builders came and asked should our cat be out with her kittens yesterday, as the title says cat what cat we don't have one,

We live in the middle of the countryside on the edge of a small village so know all the pets in the area,

there are ferral cats around but haven't seen this one for about a year, she used to use our barn ( which is being converted ) she came from the direction of an old derilict coach house ? she has we think 5 kittens, ( so cute ) look around 6-8 weeks she was moving them one at a time in her mouth,

not sure what to do now, i don't want to see them hurt, there are lots of foxes around here also they will breed etc

I put some dog food out and all of it went within mins although i didn't see them eat it ?

Would the animal rescue come and catch them ?? what to do ?
one more thing looks like mum is injured in one eye poss blind

I'd contact Animal Rescue if i were you, for advice. Hopefully they can at least take them to be checked out and make sure they're fit and healthy.

I would take them all to a a no-kill shelter, the kittens for sure will get snapped up in a few days and mother cat can get checked out.

I would do but they are really hard to get hold of, mother is quite aggresive im not sure i can catch them but i will con tinue to put food out so they will stay near by,

Wood Green is quite near us in Godmanchester, i called the help desk there someone is going to see if they can arrange to try and catch them ? hope to hear tomorrow,

Scoop 'em all up and take 'em to rescue. Wood Green's cat place is out Royston way, I can't think of the name of the place right now - maybe it'll come to me?????

Is this it?

I can't get near them PP the mum is very skittish, i think if i cointinue to feed them i will eventually get close enough, fingers crossed. not sure i will manage to catch her though,

Wood Green isn't too far i just hope they call back with some advice




Cheers CH hows you ?

Its nearer Godmanchester than Royston ? maybe thats where all the post goes ? we go there a lot to see all the animals its an amasing place, I believe its also a college now ??

Yes that's the place Heydon - it's where we got our cat from. Coffeepot - this place is dedicated to just cats (or it was), where as the Godmanchester one is all sorts of animals!

I'm not sure what you could do to get nearer the Mum - good luck though!

Cheers PP will let you know how it goes

Good thanks. How are bodge the builders doing?

Hope things are improving now.

Its been one disaster after another as you know latest deadline of 17th isn't going to happen, the plasterers are here, that will take around 5 days, plumber came, flooded the boiler room and left again he did fix the leak that he told me was just waiting to happen, lucky he was here eh ,

He will be back after the plasterers have finished, they have towers up so he can't get in the new kitchen, ( if you saw him you would see why hahah )

hopefully they will finish very soon

Had the environmental peeps here yesterday to check the air quality after the oil leak looks like its okay one more test in 2 weeks then we can be signed off

We are looking for a holiday as soon as they walk out the door, preferably one where i can just lay by a pool all day

Refresh then house on the market and hope it sells back on track again i hope, still no update letter though.

You settled in your new place ?

We still have a few boxes to unpack and we've been here 3 months! Much happier now.

Hope things improve with you guys soon.

sure they will

Well slightly off topic eh haha

Just fed mum and 2 kittens can't see any more im afraid, they have just had fresh cooked Salmon OH not impressed haha

Hope those 2 little ones survive, mum was hissing etc even as i approached with food ( talk about bite the hand that feeds eh ) hope they are okay tonight

poor babies, I hope they find a home! RSPCA woudl be my first call

I have called them, they weren't very forthcoming with advice, they are inundated with domestic cats and animals that need homing im afraid,

On the up side there are 3 kittens this morning the black one has come back, i just fed them, well when i say fed them i left the food about 2 mts away mum was back up and hissing as usual, but the kittens are still takeing milk from her, so cute

It was a like a scene out of Bambi this morning Dear walking by, the kittens all feeding, Partridge that has decided our garden ( esp where i am seeding the lawn ) is now his home, despite the dogs, they don't seem bothered, also have a family of Ducklings up the road
