SIR - I feel I must take the view of Jenny Sampson (T&A, May 21) regarding re-homing cats in the Marshfields area.

While Mr Shaw is obviously a caring person who can look after his cats, I am afraid he is probably only one of a handful of people that can.

I have lived in Marshfields for 41 years and in that time I have taken in various stray or unwanted cats. I have also taken cats to Cat Rescue when I have been unable to take any more.

I have one cat of my own plus two strays I have taken in plus several cats that I feed in the garden that have various injuries.

Perhaps if Mr Shaw walked around the area he could take in some of the strays on his doorstep.
