About Association CATS

In 2011, in the middle of winter, I went on an appointment with my husband to do a quote for a potential customer. I was greeted by balls of fur everywhere, kittens of all ages with beautiful coats.

Some of the young ones had no eyes; these were the ones that attached themselves to us the most, meowing when you moved until you spoke. The one who adopted me for the time we were there had no eyes either. His purr sounded like a jack hammer and he had a beautiful, soft coat. My heart broke.

The house owner is a pensioner who spends most of her pension on these cats. She has rescued 4 sets of kittens whose mothers have been killed on the busy road whilst crossing to the corn field opposite for food. It has all become too much for her, as she now has nearly 20 cats, but she is incapable, as I would be, to euthanaise them.

I said I would try and get some help, firstly to get them sterilised, females first, and secondly to re-home some of them. I have researched about cats born with no eyes and it is usually due to a virus that the mothers have whilst the kittens are in-utero. They lead very happy lives. I have already re-homed one of them and the new owner’s 7 year old grandson said “when we come on holiday grandma I will bring her a little white stick”.

We have been very fortunate in recent weeks to receive some wonderful donations from The Hope Association and from the Rainbow Association.
