Certainly it is not the policy of Cats Protection. They will neuter all animals that come to their centres, microchip them and find a loving home for them, which has to be inspected before a cat is allowed to reside there. I do wish people would concern themselves with cruelty and neglect of animals rather than get paranoid about what they are doing or may do to their precious gardens. I love my very old rescued cat and my garden and all the creatures that pass through it. K |
