Last night the Mrs brought home a little black lost kitten. Its currently hiding out in the bathroom whilst we figure out our next move.

Anyone know the status of animal rescues/shelters these days? We dont really want a kitten. We've got 2 dogs, 2 cats and a toddler. Dont really have the time to give it the best life, plus figuring its a kitten it should have no worries finding a forever home. BUT if it doesnt.... or if everywhere is full.... I guess we have a new cat.

Given the weather, might be worthwhile posting on the the telegraph poles around your house - someone's new kitten might have gotten lost or a mother cat lost track of all her litter.

So update: She became aware of it Thursday. She told the guardian to surrender it to her if they dont want it, which they did yesterday. Suspect someones had a litter of cats and its just been dumped on someone who really didnt want it.

Looks like the cat distribution system strikes again! But if you don't have the capacity, One at a Time is a rescue I've adopted from before, outer south east.

They're a good bunch! We've adopted from them in the past and still donate on the adoptaversary.

Oh awesome to hear. Yeah I plan to say to them "Invoice me for all of its care, and please let us know when it finds its forever home!"
