NEW PETITION RE. CAT NEUTERING

Thanks Tina! Unfortunately it doesn´t seem to be doing very well!
It´s awful to hear about these ´kittens´ having kittens, isn´t it?
Your home sounds amazing-what a wonderful life your cats must have! I wish there were more people like you around! xx

Shirley I am signing your petition I have two cats a part feral she cat & a tom cat both have been neutered my she cat was from a cats homes her mother was only a kitten yourself (8months) when she had 6 kittens the cats home managed to trap the mother then grab the kits they spent 8 weeks hand training the kits Rosie is still bit feral but as come round to us we don´t let either of our 2 cats out to roam free they have a 20´ by 40´ pen in the garden with trees scratching post different platforms for them to sunbathe on & during the winter months they come in at night & very cold summer nights (they have a childs wooden playhouse to sleep in)

Thanks Carole-hadn´t seen that before-a really good post. My mommy cat at work had quite a few litters before she FINALLY went into the trap cage-by that time the vet said her womb had had enough! When i knew i was being made redundant this year(after 19 years) i had to trap her and her beautiful son, the grey semi feral in another post of mine, who is now missing AGAIN! HE was no problem to catch and i took him to the wonderful Cramar cat rescue, who have their own feral paddocks, superb place, but i didn´t catch mommy till 19 days after i´d left, after many weeks of upset and worry. I got her to Cramar, where she was blood tested and found to have leukemia, probably caused by mating with so many toms over the years, and a stomach tumour, so was pts. Iwas devasted-she had a lovely new home, instead of a dirty factory, and this happens,
Her little boy would never settle without her-they were so close-so since 28th May, when he´d escaped for the 3rd time, but this time for 5 weeks,i´ve had more worry and stress again!
When i caught him this time, it was decided to rehome him, as he started letting other people stroke him, but he escaped from there after only a week about 3 weeks ago...............thank God he was ´done´ as early as possible-he´s now 6.5 years.

I actually put a post on, Shirley called the values of neutering, look on my page.

I´ve just heard of a stray cat who´s been hanging around someone´s street for a couple of months. On Saturday, she appeared with 2 kittens, running around...........................RSPCA cannot take them, will ring CP when lady is from work.

Thank you, Carole!!!!!!! Exactly! Maybe Patricia could tell us what diseases neutering does protect them from..........................

At one time it was said to let a cat have 1 litter of kittens before she is neutered but I do not think that is the case anymore. i think neutering protects the cat from all sorts of diseases and illnesses, plus the poor female is not harrassed by all the randy toms, hope you don´t find that offensive, anyone, it also stops male cats from roaming and getting knocked down. I think that people need to be responsible if they are taking an animal on. Every cat I get comes for the cats´ protection league shelters and they always recommend that they are neutered. I think woody was about 24 weeks when we had him neutered.

It actually says as EARLY as possible, not as YOUNG as possible Patricia!

Sorry Shirley as a veterinary nurse I am not happy with your petition and the way it is worded to say an animal should by law be neutered AS YOUNG AS POSSIBLE is wron, I am all for neutering animals not being bred from but would like the choice not to be told that I have to have it done.
