 e-mail Amanda Dickinson | After noticing that there are more than 20,000 members on this forum, I decided it was a good place to appeal to everyones love of animals. We have been caring for an abandoned domesticated cat who had kittens in our barn. Our children have chosen a kitten each, and I have repeatedly advertised the remaining 3 kittens and mother on the site, so that they can go to a good home. So far I have only had one response from some one who was considering taking the mother cat, who has since given backword. We really need to find a home for these beautiful animals, I don't even think there is an animal refuge nearby to take them to, which seems such a sad thing to do after them having their freedom. If anyone is willing to take a kitten or the cat, please, please get in touch by e-mail or on 05 46 98 22 01

e-mail Jasmine49 | | Hi, I dont think its the fact that the english are not animal lovers, but in fairness there are endless requests on this site for homes for unwanted pets. Most of us have probably taken on our fair share, I have homed 2 dogs and 2 cats so far, and I know there are many other who have done the same. One lady has even opened a refuge for unwanted farm animals and donkeys etc to save them from their fate.......so I guess we are all 'awash' with the huge numbers so needy. I really wish you luck. keep trying, Im sure you will find a kind 'petless' person soon!!!! |

e-mail Ma & Pa Kettle | Jasmine is spot on, much as most of us do love animals, with 4 cats already I really don't want anymore and most of my friends have 2 or more as well.
I hope that you are able to find homes for the remainder soon, if I hear of anyone looking for a cat I will refer them here.
Kind Regards, Anna

e-mail lescygnes | | A bit mean. We recently had 3 kittens close to death dumped on us, 1 died, 1 we found a home for - by expanding our horizons - there are an awful lot of French people out there, we called all the Vets in Niort and Poitiers and asked them to put up signs and keep a look out, as a result we have had over 10 calls from French wanting kittens. One we kept.
we live in a village of around 100 people and this year we reckon that over 20 kittens were born here, many later this year (unusually) it's a problem all round. |

e-mail Amanda Dickinson | Hi Lescygnes,
I apologise if you thought I was being mean, I meant it to come over as "surprised" that with so many members in the forum, that I had only one response for the mother cat. I was heartened by your comments about the advert at the vets and shall target our local surgeries. I hope the kitten brought you hours of pleasure.
Amanda
