Free Kittens - Where?
Dear All,
Just wondered if anyone knew the best way to procure a free kitten.
One of my grandmother's cats passed away recently (after what is assumed to be a stroke - very sad last few days) and my auntie would like to find her a new kitten.
We did intend to get her a rag-doll (same breed as the old one I think?) - but the breeder wants £400! A little beyond the pittance I am paid for pedal-powering AB. Also I've always been wary of breeders - I wonder what happens to the "left overs"...
So, a free kitten would be appreciated - how do you find them? I've looked on the Wood Green site and that seems like an option. But where else can I look?
All the best,
Spare Ed

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.There are thousands of cats looking for homes with the rspca and cat protection, although at this time of year they haven't got young kittens, they'll still have kittens that are from 5 months old, which is still young anyway, just aint as small. They do ask for a fee around £50-£70 but that includes neutering, vaccinations and microchipping, so its a small price to pay as it would cost alot more if you were to go to your local vets.
I think our old 'Sugar' had a stroke... he was fine that morning - then i found him laying on the floor... I think it was quite a severe stroke as his eyes were not responding at all and he couldnt seem to get up.
As awful as it was.. I was grateful it was speedy for him.... and soooo glad that it happened before I had left for work.. or he would have been there on the floor all day!
he was a cantankerous old bastard... but perked up no end when we got two kittens and he used to wash them all the time!! At least his final years were happy ones! Good luck with the search!
