A group of young adult cats seeking new homes.... These young cats have come into our care after their owners failed to neuter their cats and so their cats bred out of control. Their neighbours concerned by the plight of the hungry cats and kittens visiting their gardens took on feeding them and we were contacted to help. Last Summer our rescue staff had been neutering and returning the adult cats and rehoming kittens. Seventeen adult cats had to be returned due to lack of space at the centre but now neutered at least their numbers were no longer increasing. Then over the last six months the two main residents who allowed the cats to have shelters in their gardens and fed the cats both unexpectedly passed away. With no one else wanting to take over the cats care we have been bringing the cats back in to the rescue centre to seek permanent new homes. We took in her own four middle aged pet cats who have now found new homes. The bigger challenge though is the future of the seventeen outdoor cats who relied on her. We have so far taken in nine of the outdoor cats from this colony. They are now in our care receiving food, warmth and veterinary attention. Some of the cats are very people friendly, others are slightly shier. Most of them were friendly with their main carer and they just need time to get to know and trust people. We are appealing for kind, patient adult homes to adopt these cats in pairs.
