Thats just down the road from me : (
And still people dont neuter there bloody cats!! And think its ok for them to roam and have litter after litter because they can give them away to people who do the same. People dont seem to understand the amount of unwanted cats there are in this country. I have no idea why cats arent regarded the same as dogs. And thats its fine to let them roam and breed, even without a home. Now these animals will die just because someone couldnt be bothered to neuter.

"A spokesman for the RSPCA said its officers had visited the facility but confirmed its centres were full and a cull would not be illegal!"
WTF!!! All the bloody money the RSPCA has and it can't give them a donation to keep going to try and ride out the recession?? I accept their centres may be full and they haven't the space to keep them, but surely they could help finance them to keep them going??? Makes my blood boil, it really does!!

So in its time of desperation, the RSPCA decided it would be a good idea to go and "inspect" the home to ensure they are telling the truth and they really don't have enough room - and when they discover they are telling the truth, they don't offer ANY form of help????
Is there any contact info on that article about who people should contact if interested in homing kittens?? Maybe if the word is spread enough a few can be saved. Which is better than nothing

Im sure if they rang all the other rescues they would all find room for some of them. We along with other rescues are trying to help out with 100 peacocks that have to be removed from a property surely the same could be done with the cats
I really wish that people would neuter their cats as this is what happens when to many kittens are born. Ive got 17 cats and every single one is neutered and has never produced kittens

The problem is the RSPCA in Torquay (which covered Newton Abbot) closed down some years back, and although they said they would build a new centre they never did. They now use Catteries scattered around, most of which are out in the sticks. And of course renting them out costs quite a bit of money.
Around here if you think Cat Rescue you think Blue cross which is in Torquay (which is cats only), CPL in Exeter (cats only), RSPCA in Exeter or Animals in Distress in Totness, not RSPCA in Newton Abbot as they dont really make it common knowledge. The other main problem is those rescues are along the South coast, there is nothing inland at all, so all of those rescues are taking animals from all over Devon. Plus the ones that take in dogs and cats dont seem to have that much room for cats. and I think you will find the RSPCA's down here stand alone, as quite a few of them do. I hope by next week they will have homes or rescue places for those cats and kittens, that or donations. Unfortunatly there in the same boat as allot of rescues who are also over run with little funds.

I know all sanctuaries are struggling at the minute as ours is one of them. Rehoming is really slow at the minute yet the calls for unwanted cats are very high.
Hopefully the news article will work and homes will be found for them all.
