You're half right Piglet, I am a member of the public but I'm not ignorant.
Both my cats were neutered/spayed and the little darlings came from CHAT (Celia Hammond Animal Trust) who do not routinely kill healthy animals because they don't think their colour is in fashion.

If anyone is looking for a feline to love please visit http://www.celiahammond.org/ or http://www.anim-mates.org.uk/ which are both smaller charities who really work hard to home animals.

I'm an anti-vivisectionist vegetarian who loves animals and wildlife, my glasses are certainly not rose tinted - I just don't agree healthy animals should be killed by the RSPCA. I notice you didn't answer that part of my question, but I know it is true and that is the reason I stopped my monthly standing order to them.

Have a lovely day x
