I'm pleased for you Georgina, however every year HAWs has panicked calls from people who have purchased kittens unseen from Gumtree, online and newspapers and have had the seller turn up on their doorstep with 4 or 5 week old kittens, taken way too early from their Mums and the purchaser doesn't know what do to, the kittens are ill or stressed and HAWs have to take them in. And every year at least one of the foster carers has to go through the pain of having one of the kittens die, despite our best care. I'm pleased you had a good experience but the above is not an isolated incident. And every year HAWs take in Mums who have been used as breeding machines and are on, for example, their 14th litter and are exhausted and miserable. |
