Good luck!
Apparantley this lady has upset the majority of the other neighbours, we being the exception (and that is only as we have yet to meet)

I think we'll just try our local vets, if they say this is Kitty from up the road. We'll just thank them and take Mr Stray to another vets before returning him.

I don't want any contact, as at the moment I don't know who she is or offically that she has a cat and if I think he is a stray I am not breaking any laws.
