PEED OFF!!!
The behaviour by this woman is totally unacceptable and shameful! Never in my 10 years of rescuer in Potchefstroom have I ‘named & shamed’ but this is about to change!
I give all of my time & resources - for which I am not paid a cent, working tirelessly on average 16 hours a day, 7 days a week to take on other peoples irresponsibility & to save as many little fur-babies as possible. So to be je**ed around by people is just going one step too far!
This woman - Veronique (I have withheld her surname) - who I have had contact with before, contacted me on Fri 16/10/2026 at ‘the 11th hour’, needing her kitten to be looked after immediately until Monday afternoon 19/10/2026, because apparently she was moving. I had asked her for just a little time to arrange such. I drop everything & scurry around finding a foster mom. I contact her just a few hours later to discover she had already been to the local shelter who could not help her and then dropped the kitten at an animal boarding place even though she had said she would keep the kitten with her until she hears from me.
It is then arranged that she would collect the kitten and drop at the foster mom (a professor at Pikke) at 3.30pm that same day. She only arrived at 4.15pm without a call to say she is delayed. And, the tiny bit of food & litter was not sufficient - which the foster mom pointed out to her and then the foster mom had to go out and buy. It was arranged that she would collect her kitten on Monday afternoon. By Wednesday she had still not collected the kitten or bothered to make contact. I get hold of her - apparently she was in hospital (could still have made contact) and promised to contact me on Thursday morning as to what the situation is and when she would be collecting. Of course that does not happen. On Sunday 25/10/2026, I send messages & try to call her repeatedly. She eventually responds only to say she is being checked out. I request that she calls me urgently. Of course that does not happen even though she is on line several times. So 10 days later (Monday 26/10), we still have this kitten.
This behaviour is deceiving, cunning, underhanded, uncaring and damn right cruel!
This is neglect!
This is abandonment!
This poor kitten deserves better!
This kitten is now my possession, in my care & under my control and will be placed in a home where he is wanted & cared for & loved!
