Hi there,

I have,as we speak, two really pretty but very scared kittens in my bathroom. They were rescued from a bloke today who said that he was going to drown/shoot/bury them, so in a fit of passion I took them home to at least give them some food and peace. I'm unable to keep them as the neighbour we share a garden with has two very aggressive staffies which will attack them on sight.

Have contacted the local (Woking) CPL,RSPCA and other shelters and all are full to the brim.

Help!

Well done you!

I hope someone can help. I've got 2 cats so my luxury hotel is full.

Not easy when your knuckles drag on the ground.

As above, well done; also get an advert on the local vets' noticeboards.

Pix? Maybe you'll end up with two lovely housecats!

Ha! True enough.He was a game keeper so life is a bit cheap for them, I suppose. I wish I could keep them as they are feisty but adorable (arn't they always). I'm afraid that I'm not near Brizzle so that's a bit difficult but thank you for the good suggestion.

Thank you all for your advice. I'll keep feeding them, give them posh kitten milk, put down clean cushions, gently brush them, jump when they yell, clean up after them and generally pander to their every whim until I get some luck.

Are kids this demanding???

I'm sure that they will avoid said dogs, who can't climb.

Keep them as house cats. They will never miss what they never had.

I'd take them but my other 5 cats might object a bit frown

There is a lady in Croydon who will help I suspect- Stepping Stones.

If we didn't have three already I would take them, they look lovely.

True, but I couldn't forgive myself if they did get caught. The dogs would tear them apart.

It's a flat and pretty small or else the little beggars would have the run of the place. Very kind offer but I agree that 7 cats may just be pushing it

I know! Names and everything but I can't be selfish, however tempting. Thank you!

Cats like upward space, so give them cat trees & they'll be happy.

Cats are just as happy indoor as outdoor if they've not known different (and in my case even when he did!)

Well done, I think you should keep them smile

Wish I could but the home circumstances just won't warrant it. I'm reticent for them to form a bond with a property only for them to face an upheaval as cats find that distressing (having been a cat owner/owned by cats previous to this)

Way to far away from me unfortunately. I'm on the look out for a young cat/kitten.

Try a bit further afield - Caterham and East Surrey Cats Protection? (That's where Bob came from.) I'd take them if I could, however Bob hates other cats. (It's the reason he was put up for re-homing.). Just as well, or I'd have ten by now.

Seconded!

We've got three and any more might see us cross the line to become 'people with cats'.
