31 July 2006  These are pictures of Tinkerbell and her kitten Tuppence, currently being cared for at Kats & Kits.Tinkerbell is hardly more than a kitten herself. She was taken to the vets half way through a difficult birth. The first kitten died and she had to have a caesarean section to deliver Tuppence. Tinkerbell has no milk so the kitten is being hand raised by Lorraine. Hopefully mother and kitten will both do well but much of this trauma could have been avoided had Tinkerbell been neutered before she came into her first season. Neutering is something we take very seriously at Kats & Kits. All kittens should be neutered by the age of six months. People do say ‘oh let them have one litter’ or say ‘they have homes for the kittens‘, but they cannot guarantee that whoever takes the kittens will neuter them, so the problem starts all over again. Should the expense of neutering be a problem many of the animal charities will provide vouchers for part, or in some cases, the entire cost. For further advice regarding neutering your cat please contact you vet.

About Kats & Kits:Kats & Kits is a long established cat sanctuary based in the depth of the UK's mystical Wiltshire countryside, on the edge of Salisbury Plain, near the white horses of Alton Barnes and Westbury. Run by a small dedicated team we aim to provide a home to rescued cats where re-homing is not a viable option. This blog documents the daily challenges the group has overcome since 1994 to provide care and shelter for abandonded, stray and unwanted cats.
