Re: Cat rescue moral dilema


She is a beauty.

I would have no moral issues about taking her away from an abusive environment and putting her in a safe forever home.
Only trouble is that the b@**@*** will probably get a replacement - they might even be happy to have another cute kitten!
Maybe the new Animal Welfare Act will prove of some use in cases like this - the animal doesn't actually need to be hurt or in a really bad way before it can be seized - however the welfare authorities (RSPCA and police) would have to develop a little more spine than they have shown up to now.

Re: Cat rescue moral dilema


I'd worry more about your morals if you let them abuse her when you can do something.

I don't see how you could kick any animal (people on the other hand...), but I suppose it's an "easy" vent if you're too f:d up to deal with your problems in the normal and effective way. Shame there isn't any good legal punishment for being pointlessly unpleasant.

In the case of this poor little darling I would have no hesitation in spiriting her away - they don't deserve her.

Re: Cat rescue moral dilema


I'm with you too Sally. I wouldn't have a problem taking her if she is being treated that badly where she is. Just check that she's not chipped first!!

I don't understand how people can treat animals like that. Just look at her little face.........she's a beauty.

Good luck with whatever you decide. Keep us posted.

Re: Cat rescue moral dilema


Oh the poor little gem. She's so pretty and sweet aswell.

The human race is just plain evil sometimes.

I agree with everyone else and would have no second thoughts about taking her in and finding a new home for her well away from such evil people.

Why get a cat just to miss-treat the poor wee mite?

Re: Cat rescue moral dilema


I have decided that I don't hav the room here at the moent to take another cat. I am looking to move but it won't be for a few onth and I don't think Suzie can wait that long as she could get pregnant before the so it is a ASAP rescue. But I think friend parent are going to take her and relocate her to wales. If is doens't work in wale then she can come to live with me when I get my new home.


I will keep you all posted

Sally

That sounds like a good plan. Good to hear that there are people who care that much about poor Suzie. <hug>
