Support needed for Tara the cat!
Support needed! Meet Tara, who was rescued by RSPCA South London just two weeks ago while heavily pregnant and has since been settling into one of their foster homes.
Last week was meant to be her introduction, but she had other plans and she gave birth to five healthy kittens! 🐈⬛
It’s been a big few weeks for her, so for now the focus is on giving Tara the time and space she needs to rest and adjust to life as a new mum. So far, she and her kittens are doing really well, and the team are looking forward to sharing photos once everyone has properly settled.
Taking in pregnant cats and young families is always incredibly rewarding, especially during kitten season, but it does come with significant costs. Each kitten will need vaccinations, neutering, flea and worm treatments, and altogether Tara’s little family is expected to cost around £1000 to prepare for rehoming.
As a self-funded branch, Rspca South London is supported only by its three charity shops, and adoption fees rarely cover the full cost of care. This means every animal they take in relies on the generosity of supporters to help bridge that gap.
