We are sharing this from another rescue page called - Stray Cat TNR. HAVE A READ.
Kitten season is particularly bad this year for many rescues including ours. 😔😩
_______________
Handing off free kittens may solve your immediate problem, but too often, it simply passes the problem on to someone else. 😞
One of the most common calls we receive for spay/neuter assistance starts with:
“We rescued this kitten from someone to help them out, but we really can’t afford to get her fixed.”
And sadly, those are just the people who actually reach out for help. Most never do. 😢
If we truly care about cats and kittens and their long-term well-being, we have to think beyond just finding them “a home.” We need to make sure they are going into responsible homes where spay/neuter will absolutely happen. That means taking the time to screen adopters, having an adoption process, and getting mom cat spayed ASAP. ✅
You can safely rehome kittens yourself, but please consider reaching out to a shelter or rescue for guidance on how to do it responsibly and safely.
This crisis is bigger than any one person, rescue, or shelter. We all have to work together to break the cycle and make sure these cats are not continuing to reproduce generation after generation.
👉🏼 Spay/neuter is not just the new owner’s responsibility.
👉🏼 It’s not just the old owner’s responsibility.
👉🏼 It’s not just a rescue’s responsibility.
‼️ It is EVERYONE’S responsibility to make sure it happens. ‼️
