TWB Cat Sitter

Hi Claire!

Is Immy microchipped? Our team carry scanners & will be on the lookout for her on our daily travels.

I hope you are reunited with her soon.

It sounds like both cats have chosen to flee & seek temporary refuge rather than risk another confrontation with this dominant cat.

Find out whether or not the cat has an owner & if he is neutered. If the cat is fixed, unchipped & no owner comes forward to claim him, you can contact Celia Hammond, Cats Protection or Stray Cat Club to arrange a TNR. This would remove the current threat & give these cats an opportunity to return home safely if they are close by.

Our team carry scanners as part of a voluntary initiative to help reunite missing cats with their owners. We'll be keeping a look out for Gladys & Doris on our daily travels.

I hope your friend is reunited with them soon.

 

Good Evening Jld,

If you haven't already, please try reposting this to your street's Whatsapp group & Facebook's community groups.

I would offer to pop round & scan for a microchip as I'm very close by, but as you say, this cat is not easy to get close to & feeding to coax them any closer would be risky given the symptoms you've described.

Unfortunately, our team do not recognise this cat.

Hi Emmie,

Cats are very territorial, so please just be aware that they don't like being taken out of their home environment, & it could lead to behaviourial issues further down the line. Please do consider using a trusted & reliable cat sitting company. We are always happy to help  https://www.thewinglessbird.com/ info@thewinglessbird.com

I'm so sorry to hear Rexy has gone missing.

Our team carry scanners & will be keeping an eye out for him on our daily travels.

In the meantime, Dox can print & deliver free posters to your door
https://www.doxdirect.com/help/free-missing-pet-posters/ .

Best times to call for Rexy will be dusk & dawn when felines are generally at their most active
& there will be less city noise that could send him into hiding.

Good Evening,

Any updates on whether anyone was able to contact the aforementioned rescues? Cats Protection or Stray Cat Club...?

Thank you.

Hindmans Rd will be handing out goodies 🎃

Hi Neighbours!

With Halloween fast approaching, let's make it easy for families to find those welcoming, spooky doorsteps around East Dulwich. If your street is planning to hand out treats, share the location here! It'll help families plan their routes & make sure no little ghouls & goblins miss out on the fun.

Looking forward to a safe & festive Halloween 🎃

Here's one of our oh-so adorable little lions @ twb. as we're all getting into the Halloween spirit!

My team & I have been trying to capture this cat for a very long time. He needs to be checked out by a vet. Please, if your neighbour has not reached out to Celia Hammond already, inform them that this cat needs to be collected for a thorough check-up & neutering. He is in a shocking state, poor guy. This picture really masks the severity of his injuries.

Feel free to contact us at info@thewinglessbird.com if there's any way we can help.

- The Wingless Bird.

All you have said about a cat which followed you was that it "looked lost."

This reminds me of someone on an online East Dulwich thread (unrelated to this forum) who posted a picture of Abbas, the cat from Really Maria's, sitting on the pavement outside the shop.

The person said this cat was upset by all the Lordship Lane traffic,  and did anyone know who the owner was.

Another person then said the cat was"obviously lost."

Luckily someone recognised this "obviously lost" cat as living where the photo was taken.

At least the original poster didn't take it home 🙄

In that concerned passerbys defense, it was a stupidly irresponsible move on Maria's part to let her cat out on the streets of Lordship Lane. Let's not pretend Lordship Lane is a safe place for unsupervised animals to be hanging out at. You've lived in East Dulwich long enough to know just how many cats are run over.

Cats & dogs are not an ideal option for a child's first pet. I would recommend opting for a more low-maintenance animal, such as fish or hamsters. The issue is when children get bored & the responsibility falls on to the parent, but the parent doesn't have the enthusiasm to train a dog or provide daily enrichment for a cat. They are expensive, & vet bills do add up. Eventually they end up being put up for adoption, which is incredibly sad, as these animals build connections. To genuine lovers of animals, they are family.

- having said this, if the above doesn't apply to you, I would recommend https://www.celiahammond.org/

Good Morning, EDF!

We have recently updated our job openings. Now searching for our Forest Hill & Nunhead TWB Birds.

Cats are not bound to any location unless you give them a reason to want to stay. It sounds like he's receiving attention & entertainment elsewhere, if like you say, he has multiple homes & goes missing for days...

Does he not have dedicated areas ie. beds, scratching posts, toys, litter trays, a feeding schedule?

If he's wondering Crystal Palace Rd, this isn't particularly safe for him. Sadly, I've known a lot of cats to get run over by speeding cars down Crystal Palace Rd over the years. Please consider providing him with safe back garden access, with all the comforts that would make a location feel like home for him.

 

Kindest,
Heather { The Wingless Bird }

luca's was a cafe situated on North Cross Road. I've been told that Forest, currently on Frogley Rd, will be taking over.

It might have to do with the 3 guys who held a deliveroo driver at knife point on Copleston Rd. The police have a description.

The difference between a professional & a hobbyist.

There are too many self-proclaimed cat sitters & dog walkers who think this is an easy job,

an easy way to make money. They have no idea what they are doing.

I've been finding it very strange that people have gone out of their way to buy trees only to have them strewn along the sidewalk as early as the 2nd day of Christmas... Is it not common knowledge that Christmas is a 12 day event, & that we are only half way through it?
