Because on the one side, you and the OP say that people don't bother with rescue centres, but then you go on to say that was the first place you went (and were refused) when you looked for a cat. Maybe you wont go to a rescue centre again, but my point was that you did originally, and a lot of people still do so my theory of 3 cats in a home losing to 3 cats being hoimes privately could still hold a little weight.

I understand your frustration. All my cats (even in my childhood) have always been neutered and I've never had a cat have kittens (and I grew up on an Irish farm
). It's hard to understand why owners aren't more responsible but I think the OP understands that now.....”

sadly, I don't think the OP does, but there you go.

Same here - all the dogs/cats I have had were neutered. OK, my mares weren't, but all our stallions got the chop.
