Another cat abandoned in my garden

It's not the first or the second, practically every year a kitten is abandoned in my garden and I can't keep them all.
This is a female, she is beautiful and has to be spayed otherwise no one will want her.
People know that I can't turn my back on an animal in need and my children are exactly like me, I think that's why they abandon the animals here, they know that we will take care of them.
My daughter wants to keep the cat but I have to see if I can find a family for her.
I really don't know what to do...

Maybe you need to put a sign up about that. However, if you don't take them. and help them..they may well end up in a worse place.

Pets can be very demanding if you want to take good care of them. I see that with Luna. I spend a lot in food, vet and taking care that she is happy. Maybe you can spay the cat and give it away.

@nela13 It is. But keeping a cat that is not spayed is more expensive. And they will be having more and more kittens.

Good to know you are taking care of the abandoned kittens that visit your garden.
The cats I nurtured so far are all those that visited us.

What a beautiful cat. At least they give them to you, knowing you will try and do the right thing.

She'll still have to stay with us for a few days, I haven't found anyone who wants her yet.

The kitten looks cute. There was a time when lot of cats and kittens came to my garden and stayed in my portico and I used to feed all of them. Gradually they all left.

@nela13 Kittens did come and I too kept them in a safe place and fed them until they grew up and left.

It’s so kind of you to take care of the kittens that show up in your garden. In my country, we also have a lot of stray cats, and many people feel the same way about not being able to turn their backs on animals in need.
I understand how hard it must be to keep all of them. It's great that your daughter has such a big heart, just like you! I hope you find a good family for the kitten. Sometimes, people around here take care of strays together as a community, which helps.
Have you tried reaching out to animal shelters or groups that can help with finding homes for her?

That is great that the community take care os strays together, that make things easier, I wish it was the same here.
Our shelters are full, too many animals there.
