At time of writing, we already have our first kittens of the year! Mums and babies are both doing well, but despite all our efforts at neutering, it seems that there are still far too many cats and kittens out there. As we are full, as soon as the kittens are old enough to travel, these young families will be transferred to headquarters clearing a space for the next rescue!!                                                                               Birdie, a young tabby/tortie mum gave birth in a pram top which had been stored in an outhouse in Slough.  The owner found the young family and reported it to Ray, who rescued them and brought them over to Peter. Birdie has 7 kittens of assorted colours.                                                                                    The next rescue was also from Slough,found by passers-by who noticed the young family huddled in the garden under an old armchair. They put them in a basket and brought them over to Peter, delivering them at 10 o’clock at night!                                                                                                                                         The Mum, a tabby, has three babies aged about five weeks, two black and white and one tabby. All are friendly and doing well. This is just the beginning of the kitten season – no doubt there will be many more similar stories throughout the summer!
