Fridge Kittens

January 14, 2010

Syrtis says: I have a conservatory attached to my house here in Newcastle (England). There's an unplugged mini-freezer in my conservatory, and all the local cats reckon the space underneath the works is a great place to have kittens! Batch #1 (3 kittens) arrived in 2006. Batch #2 (four kittens) was April 2007, but those all got moved, I dunno what happened to them. Batch #3 were the offspring of two of Batch #1 -- 8 in all! Batch #4 (three kittens) were from the third of Batch #1in April 2008, but those were born in the shed instead. The mother cats belong to a house nearby so they're already 'homed." I managed to get seven of batch #3 homed (one died). Batch #2 got moved by the mother and I don't know where they ended up, and batches #1 and #4 are still hanging around. Here are photos of just some of them.

This little cutie still has the umbilical cord attached. All the pictures are endearing.

Someone needs to get these cats spayed and neutered!! Cute, but eventually cruel if the cat population continues to explode the way the narrative describes.

Everyday, beautiful pictures of kittens with no mention of getting
these wonderful creatures spayed
and neutered to stop births that leave unwanted kittens needing homes.

Oh, these babies are too cute to believe! I want to hold them all. Such furry little angels.

Some much cuteness! Too bad the owners of the Momcats don't get their girls spayed. Wonderful that you care for them and try to find them homes.

Trap, fix and release. Surely somewhere in Newcastle there must be a programme to help defer the cost of such.

But it is good that you do this sort of thing...helping out the mothers and their young.

Vicki - 14 years, 3 months ago

You're a good person for helping these tiny little bundles of joy - but please encourage your neighbors to get these felines spayed &/or neutered! I agree with forkboy1965 - maybe Newcastle has a deferred cost? Thank you for sharing their photos - they're adorable.

Beautiful group of catties. I too, wish that their Moms would get spayed&/or neutered. Thank you for trying to find some of them homes. Bless you for taking care of the Fridge catties

Syrtis - 14 years, 3 months ago

Thanks for all the comments about spaying; yes, all of the remaining cats have now been spayed by the Cats Protection League.

They're all beautiful, but these two are heart melters.

mee - 14 years, 3 months ago

I'm a fan of kittehs and spaying/neutering, so that overpopulation stops. Glad to read the remaining kittehs are spayed/neutered. Thanks for helping the kittehs you found! Great pics!

Well, here we go again. Rather than just admire the beautiful kitties we have to lecture or be lectured about the obvious. Spay and neuter, spay and neuter ...we get it! Thank you Syrtis for sharing the photos of these lovely little visitors to your home.

Until people learn their responsibility to their fellow creatures we will continue to preach spay and neuter. It is important. We want each and every adorable kitten and puppy to have a forever home. So, Sephara, just shut the ---- up!

smokey demon - 14 years, 3 months ago

Sorry, Syrtis, didn't mean to preach to you. Bless you for the care you have given to all these beautiful babies.
