I arrogantly thought no one could do it like me !! so I stopped rehoming and kept them myself, this resulted in over 200 rabbits and virtually bankrupting me - but at least I slept at night !<br />I also started taking in other animals, farm animals too, sheep, goats, chucks and ducks as well as rabbits and cats - none of my 'babies' ended up in the food chain, I even took chickens to the vet ! and why not ?<br />Thanks for the broccoli tip too.Kitty Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844056332086042474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-50634244545614450872012-01-31T09:41:33.473+00:002012-01-31T09:41:33.473+00:00Hi Jane.

Animal welfare is paramount to us and we do all we can to find genuine safe and loving homes for our kitties. There are some truly awful people out there, we have to be on our guard. <br /><br />We had a snotty woman who was very annoyed that we would not drive 35 miles each way to do a home check. When we last had an enquiry from her area we discovered that the person had been turned down by their local rescue, and thought they would try further afield.Meanqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705837426373680532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-44364319888028887152012-01-31T07:54:11.204+00:002012-01-31T07:54:11.204+00:00Lots of beautiful photos in your favourites.Lots of beautiful photos in your favourites.Joyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956413632864588646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-57751016926661992112012-01-31T04:02:10.939+00:002012-01-31T04:02:10.939+00:00Good job on the Quality Control for rehoming kitti...Good job on the Quality Control for rehoming kitties.
