Warm Days Ahead

Spring is almost here and with it a new litter of kittens. A neighbors cat moved in this past winter and had two tuxedo kittens this past sunday.

This has become a chronic problem. Neighbors refuse to spay or neuter their pets and their offspring come to us for food and attention. We've adopted more than we can barely afford and there's no animal shelters in Carter County. We have a pound but it consists of one man who rarely shows up when you call him and it's a killing facility. We can't send them there.

We're not sure what the answer is but something has to give.

  1. Hi Robin!

    You've really got a problem with those cats, or should I say your neighbours. If I had the same problems here I would be reporting the neighbours to the RSPCA which is an animal charity and they would have very strong words with them and could even ask them to sign over the animals to them so that they could be neutered and re-homed.
    I think thay anyone who refuses to take proper care of their animals should be banned from keeping any for life and should also have to pay a huge fine to an animal charity so that others could be cared for.
    Bye, the way, thanks for the French bread recipe and you were right about the goldfinch because he brings his ladyfriend to the feeder now.
