Well , just as we were all congratulating ourselves on homing so many kittens(for the first time in ages there are empty pens) along came someone with 2 adult cats and 9 kittens!!! Some of the kittens are pictured above. The reason given was that the ownerwas moving to a flat and was unable to take animals with her.Although the babies are very prettily marked, the arrival of young, 7 weeks old kittens means less chance now of the "teenagers" finding a home.Its always the same- if the babies are not rehomed fairly quickly they become gangly and less appealing and we have around 12 such kitten cats. Sometimes they are here until they are adults and only then after neutering do they find homes. I was really hoping this lull in youngsters would mean we would be able to move some of the teenagers. These things are sent to try us as my mother used to say!
Looks like Jimmy the ex racehorse may be going to friends in the village which will be nice as I can pop round to see him without even getting into the car and driving.He has a swelling on his back at the moment which is being treated by the vet so as soon as that clears he will be leaving us.
I have been asked to take a 5 months old shetland colt, however the problem is transporting him from the Shetland Isles to North Wales!!! An interested part has offered to pay for him from the shetlands to Aberdeen but from there on we are stuck.Any ideas anyone? He can be transported in a van as he will not be very big but it is qquite a long journey. If anyone has any ideas how this can be managed please contact me straight away as his owner wants rid pretty quickly.
