hi everyone, I was hoping for a bit of advice as to what to do about the following situation…..

My mother-in-law’s neighbours are they type of people that would not look out of place on shameless. Their 6 month old kitten recently got pregnant as they have not bothered to get her spayed (or vaccinated) I might add and let her wonder round the streets..when m-i-l commented “I suppose you’ll be getting her spayed as soon as her kitten are old enough” the woman replied “No, why would we do that? We get £50 a kitten so we’ll just hope she gets pregnant again”

At thjis point O was so angry when she relayed this to me I considered kidnapping that cat and getting her spayed and then returning her…however I didn’t do this as I did not think that law would be on my side.

So que this morning when I pop round to m-i-l’s to say hello. The cat had 5 kittens in total, 3 kittens have already been sold and the remaking 2 the neighbours are keeping. One is male and 1 female and they have no intention of getting either neutered or vaccinated but the most shocking things was that both kittens were running round the street!! They are 7 week old and tiny!!!!! Apparently the neighbours have been letting them outside for the past few weeks!! They weren’t even in but had left their side door open so they could come and go as they please.

My sister in law said that she had to rescue them they other day as the neighbour was stood outside her house (imagine waynetta slob) having a conversation with her neighbour and the TINY kittens were running all over the road with cars coming up and down. One nearly was squashed but woman was completely unphased or concerned by this.

What can I do???? I’ve thought about kid-napping the kittens and looking after them properly till they are old enough and then giving them away to people I know would love them and look after them properly or calling in the rspca but as the kittens and mother cat are all fed and watered I would presume that there is nothing they could do and it is the families own ignorance about cat are that is the problem.
