Desperately seeking a home or garden space for cats

We've got 8 cats living in our garden. This began as us putting out food for a mum and 2 kittens. I had them neutered and also paid for expensive surgery on one of the kittens who was injured. Just after the neutering the mum turned up with 5 more kittens that she had given birth to in another garden.

The easy response here is that we shouldn't have begun feeding them but if we hadn't they would be starving or dead by now. Certainly the injured kitten would have died a slow, painful death. It would have been easier to shoo them away but these are living creatures after all.

They would really love a home as they are very affectionate and peer in the window at us even though the dog is barking like crazy. They also sneak into the garage and sit on the mat. They follow us when we go out for a walk, very touching.

I've more or less given up on finding a home for them so I am asking if someone could please offer them a safe space with a supply of food in their garden. They all get on well and could go off in pairs.

They are very pretty cats and kittens with lovely markings. The mum is very affectionate and friendly, which makes me think she was a pet who was dumped.

There are problems with rodents in the Ranches as Emaar lay so many traps. Cats in the garden would pay for their keep by keeping your garden free of pests. These cats are very clean and even with so many of them, I have not noticed any "droppings" in the garden, they bury everything!

It's the season of good will. Please find it in your heart to offer a living space to these voiceless creatures.

Thank you Nomad and Nath, it would be lovely if they had the Christmas gift of a home. I've been in contact with Feline Friends for the neutering and with the FF foster people trying to find homes but I think they are swamped. I've also contacted the Bin Kitty Collective. There seems to be quite a small group of people who do a huge amount of work. These cats are so defenceless and vulnerable. Imagine if we were reincarnated as cats and needed help.

The world needs a lot more people with a heart like yours AR. Here's hoping for a Christmas present for your kitties.

Bumping this for the kitties! I will pay for all the younger kittens to be neutered. They just need space in a garden with some food where they will be safe.
