That’s crazy! Only a horrible, evil human being would trap cats! I hope that those neighbors of yours are taught a lesson!

Please let us know how this turns out. It’s a shame when housecats can just be snatched up

Marie you shouldn’t let this situation pass, those people had no right what-so-ever to take your cats away from you, they had no right to do that.

That’s a ridiculous amount of money to pay (more than $1000 in Australian dollars) I didn’t even pay that much for my Abyssinian and his air fares!

Are your cats still at the RSPCA? If so I will contact them to help you out, what they did was selfish and wrong, they’re meant to rescue animals, not steal them from their homes…

Marie,I’m so sorry for you.How dare the RSPCA take the word of cat haters and take away your cats as well as other cats you were kind enough to feed. Cats with collars obviously belong to someone,they should know that surely.
People who hate cats can be so very nasty, they only see ‘pesky cats’ not each individual cat which has the right to be fed and cared for.
It’s ignorant people who abandon cats that cause the problem of strays and ferals in the first place.
Fight them ! Let Michael help you !
Cat haters like those who made this trouble for you are bitter people who in reality are inadequate and love the feeling of power doing things like that.
It’s outrageous asking for £600 for each cat,trapping and neutering and the cat’s keep wouldn’t cost that much. I don’t think they should get away with asking this huge sum !
They are supposed to attend to animals truly in distress but are never there when you want them for that.Not that long ago,they didn’t want to know about an old injured dog in the road,owner unknown,which some friends saw.Nor did the police.Luckily a vet took pity on him and came out.
Don’t let them get away with this bullying, Marie.

I was wondering as to the reasons i didn’t see a single “Stray Cat” on the streets of London during my stay in the city between tueday(25-5-2010) to Tuesday(1-6-2010), and the reasons now very obvious. A fine of 600 Sterling for a seized “stray cat” could finance a short holidey for myself in London! Its atroscious to just seize any cat outdoors, still worse is “destroying ” them.A positive aspect of these “Heavy Fines’ is that it also helps in creating responsible “Cat Ownership”, unlike in most Ciy’s, including Mumbai where pets are routinely abandoned to live or die a miserable life on the streets.

Marie I’m so sorry to hear of your plight some people (your neighbours to name but a few are awful) You must be so upset I do hope Micheal can help.

Hi Marie, thanks for sharing. I am upset to read your story. There may be some detail that you have not had the time to tell us but on the face of it, the RSPCA stole your cats which is why I changed the title.

I don’t know when this happened but if it was recently, please provide some more detail if you can and if you want me to contact the RSPCA to try and get your cats back I will.

I have a knack of getting people to change their mind.
