IN response to Linda Green (Letters, February 4), one charity that could have helped her re-home the stray kitten she took in was Pets In Need.

We have several people on our books desperate for a kitten or other animal. There is also Blackburn Cat Rescue which has a list of people looking for kittens. Did she consider these two charities or even know they exist?

These charities are small, but do a lot of good for the sake of the animals and what money they receive goes on vets' bills and food only. I can assure her that no money is squandered or used on anything but the animals.

Maybe it is time someone registered all charity groups in the Lancashire area so any person in a similar situation could find help.
