In response to the letter from Councillors Ken and Ann Norman (February 9), I feel I must write in defence of the Cats Protection League and perhaps answer their question, "what possessed this organisation to remove Kitty?".
The situation appeared to be that the cat did not have an owner and was therefore a stray.
The fact she has gum disease suggests she did not receive regular veterinary treatment. This makes me question whether she was given regular flea and worm treatments - there is far more to caring for a cat than offering it a plate of food and an occasional ride in a wheelbarrow.
Another concern for Cats Protection surely must have been that she was spending her nights in a tool shed.
I personally do not regard that as adequate shelter, particularly during the winter months.
