🚨 STOP GIVING KITTENS AWAY FOR FREE. 🚨
This may be uncomfortable to read, but it needs to be said.
When you advertise kittens as “Free to a Good Home”, you have absolutely no idea who is on the other side of that message.
Not every person looking for a free kitten wants a family pet.
Some free kittens are:
💔 Used as bait animals for fighting dogs.
💔 Acquired by people who cannot afford even basic food or veterinary care.
💔 Dumped when they become too much work.
💔 Passed from house to house like unwanted possessions.
💔 Left to breed, creating even more unwanted kittens.
💔 Abandoned, neglected, injured or left to die.
The reality is that once a kitten leaves your hands, you may never know what happened to them.
A cute photo and a promise of a “loving home” mean nothing without proper checks.
Every year rescue organisations pick up the pieces — starving cats, injured cats, abandoned cats and kittens born because someone handed out an unneutered kitten with no questions asked.
If you genuinely care about the kittens you have brought into this world, then do the responsible thing:
✔️ Vet potential adopters.
✔️ Ask questions.
✔️ Carry out home checks where possible.
✔️ Charge an adoption fee.
✔️ Ensure kittens are old enough, healthy and properly cared for before rehoming.
Because the harsh truth is this:
Giving a kitten away is easy. Making sure they are safe for the next 15-20 years is the hard part.
A kitten’s life is worth far more than “free to a good home.”
🐾 Please think beyond getting rid of them. Think about where they are going. 🐾
