Hi I contacted Cats Protection Gateshead, the cannot help as the cat/kittens may be feral and that branch doesn't have the facility to Trap Neuter Return. They have advised I contact a local rescue centre that operates the catchcat scheme. All is well with mam and kittens, last seen yesterday evening.

Hi I know they have been in the garden that is next to the bottom of my garden/decking. I am feeding them but need to contact Cats Protection for help. I only noticed them on Sunday afternoon.

phoenix968

09 October 2021 at 12:16

No I haven't seen them today, I had put some food out yesterday and it's part gone but that could have been a hedgehog or a rat

Tigsy67

09 October 2021 at 12:24

It seemed quite bold and might have gone off to explore

Tigsy67

09 October 2021 at 12:55

Yes I think that one is, my brother saw it trying to climb my garden fence on Wednesday and seems quite adventurous. There is also a black kitten and a white one with light brown patches. I thought there were 4 kittens, but maybe only 3. Thank you
