Beautiful Peaches went for spay yesterday so she is now safe from attacks and pregnancy π». She needs a home without other cats as she's very distrustful of them but she's very affectionate and loves attention β€οΈ
We are concerned about the number of kittens that get taken for Christmas gifts and we have set a time limit to prevent our contributing to it.
These are sentient beings and they don't come in a ribbon tied box! It's a terrible time to introduce an animal as there's usually a lot more noise and excitement at Christmas and kittens need peace and calm to settle.
It does mean the foster carers will probably spend most of their Christmas looking after the cats but we would all prefer them to go to a home to become part of the family and not because people can't think of something else.
If you're still wanting a kitten around that time: you could buy all of the equipment as a gift and then apply to adopt in the New Year. Cat trees don't get hurt if you return them but kittens can be traumatised πΏ
