When I got home and parked the car last night I heard meowing in the street, and on investigating I found a small scared young tabby cat at the far end of the street. Since it was about to rain heavily, I took the (almost) kitten in and put it in the bathroom with litter, food, water and a newspaper-lined carrier with some of the boys' old toys in. Then I went out and asked the newsagent to let me know if anyone came in looking for a lost pet.
I spent today ringing round the cat shelters, and being dismayed that they have such waiting lists. Castle Vets confirms it's a girl and she's not chipped. Tonight I posted big found signs around the neighbourhood.
I need to get this cat off my hands fast, preferably into the grateful hands of worried owners. Buzz will not tolerate her in the house, although Rocky is more mellow. She's very fond of humans and wants me to be her new daddy, but that's not going to happen.
