Kittens being killed at birth

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some help. I’ve tried to contact the RSPCA in my area but haven’t had any luck yet.

My neighbours (who are also my landlords) have a female cat that hasn’t been spayed. Naturally, she keeps having kittens. I assumed they were finding homes for them, but it turns out they aren’t. They told me this morning that most of the time they kill them at birth.

When I suggested getting her spayed, they just gave me a dismissive shrug.

You have to understand they’re quite elderly and former farmers—very 'old school'. To them, cats stay outdoors, hunt mice, and never go to the vet.

It breaks my heart knowing what’s in store for all these kittens.

What can I do? Can the RSPCA or a local rescue come out to the house? Is there any way to force them to have her spayed? Thanks in advance for your replies.

    Hi there, Get in touch with the RSPCA or a local rescue centre and explain the situation. Or if you know a vet, have a word with them. Whatever you do, DON’T DELAY because, unfortunately, people often get rid of them very quickly. I used to live in the countryside and the local farmer would drown them after 48 hours (to stop the mother's milk coming in). PS: Try to buy some time with your neighbour, as kittens are usually very easy to rehome. Offer to take some photos and post them on social media for him. Keep us posted.
