I think K&L has (unfortunately) sussed up the situation very well. The sad reality is that there is NOT a no-kill shelter in Bahrain. (if you knew the number of animals we PTS every month you would be sick). I don't have a garage or any airconditioned place for the Mommy cat to have her litter, and their fate would still remain in the hands of the shelter - only a couple of months later.

People here just DO NOT adopt Dilmun cats - if someone is looking to adopt a cat, they can take their pic of persian-lookalikes at the shelter, or they can go behind their neerest restaurant and grab a kitten out of a dumpster.

It's the same decision I make every time I rescue a cat here - either drive by and ignore it, knowing that it will be killed in traffic, or "rescue"it and take it to the shelet, where it has a 99% chance of being PTS anyway!!!

I am going to try to trap Grey Mommy on Saturday (hubby is overseas on business so I have time to run around).

Wish me luck, and pray that I am doing the right thing.
