Title: Cats and kittens
Post by: Karen on July 03, 2019, 03:19:06 PM
There seems to be an abundance of cats and kittens here this year and the kittens seem on their own. They are not a nuisance in any way and the locals seem to be feeding them. Dear little things :)

There were dozens of kittens around the bins near the Silver Moon a couple of years ago, looks like many survived to continue the circle of life

Yeah, there were a few of them kicking about that location when I was over last September.

We have had a few placed (perhaps) in our gardens at Vicky's.  Whilst some guests enjoy their kittens others don't and we always ask guests not to encourage them as come the Winter there will be no one here to look after them.  There is a Funding page for The Strays of San Stefanos if anyone is interested on the welfare and feeding etc......

That's a good point Lesley. It's a shame to see and I'm a cat lover having my own adoptee at home, who turned up in our garden with 3kittens last year. I wouldn't feed them here myself though.

It is sad to see them but as has been said come winter they are left to fend for themselves anyway.

The ones by Silvermoon get fed daily year round by Gwen. She has a funding page as well which helps towards neutering them.

Yes Jules, I heard this today, it's good that they are neutering them :)
