I too was appalled by their response, what a cheek, no-one would have minded in the least to have their cat on their site, if they had the simple courtesy just to ask, that I am sure of.

However I think suing them would not be a great idea, mainly because if by some chance this is a genuine rescue, then what would be achieved here, but like Donna I smell a rat too.

I just wonder what would be their pay off here (as Dr Phil says lol),by doing this.

It would indeed by nice to get to the bottom of it all, and just see what they are playing at, a normal rescue would use their own cats pics, not steal them, very odd indeed, and suspicious.
