WITH the start of the kitten season almost on us, may I appeal to your readers to get their cats spayed or neutered.

Nationally Cats Protection expect to take in approximately 32,000 kittens, here in Swindon due to lack of foster homes we cannot take in the 80 or 90 we did in the past. This is why we are paying the full cost of cats over six months for anyone on any sort of benefit, male or female.

No need to phone us, just contact the vet of choice, who have the necessary paperwork. If anyone would foster for us, we pay for everything and we do need more volunteers. Any offers of help please phone 01793 644536.
