Boddle Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Morning, We found a black cat with a very injured front leg on Blackwater st. Apart from the leg wound he looks well groomed and fed. We've called the RSPCA and some of the guys arriving for work down there are keeping an eye on him/her until they arrive. IM me for the exact location.

pommie Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Take the cat to a local vet as they can scan it to check for a microchip. RSPCA are rubbish Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/101646-injured-black-cat-on-blackwater-st/#findComment-984486 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkx Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 BoddleMy 10 month old Black Bengal kitten went missing in the early hours of Friday morning 1 April around Pellatt / Landcroft Road. She's called Miu and she is quite small. She has no collar. She has the rosette and stripe markings but these can only be seen easily in sunlight. I've attached a picture so you can see if it was Miu you found injured. Thanks for your help.

Boddle Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hi Marc,I'm sorry to hear this- you must be worried sick.The cat in question was definitely a grown adult we think. weve both looked at the photos and don't think this was her.SNARL went down in the end to see what was what but didn't find the cat. I'm hoping it managed to hobble home...

Sue Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Did the RSPCA not turn up, then? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/101646-injured-black-cat-on-blackwater-st/#findComment-985611 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mands Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Bloody hello, the cat should have been taken to a vet. The rspca are rubbish, everyone knows that.

Brulysses Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Agreed, how can you let a 'very injured' cat just limp off? I can't believe no-one had the sense to take it to a vet or Celia Hammond...idiotic Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/101646-injured-black-cat-on-blackwater-st/#findComment-985717 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Mog Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Disgusting, of course the RSPCA didn't turn up, when do they? Surely someone could have just taken it to a vet! How uncaring.

Growlybear Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I'm astonished at the last two comments. How does anyone know if the OP had a suitable basket to have transported the cat? or if they had transport to the nearest vet (which presumably would be Lordship Lane)? It is incredibly difficult to get some cats into a basket to take them to a vet, let alone when they have been injured and are traumatised anyway. I can just imagine how one of my cats would have reacted if a complete stranger had tried to take them to a vet (possibly by public transport) when they were injured and terrified. I somehow suspect that the people the OP said were arriving for work might not have had cat baskets to hand either. I think the OP did everything anyone could reasonably be expected to do and it's completely out of order for people to be criticising her for actually bothering to do something when many people would have ignored the cat.

Boddle Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 I'm sorry - I have a full time job- which I was already late for - and no box for the cat. I was just trying to do a nice thing by putting a post on here. Thanks for your nasty comments calling me an idiot and uncaring. Its really hurtful. I alerted the RSPCA, SNARL and a local guy working nearby. I did the best I could in the circumstances.

Boddle Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 Sue- I dons know if the RSPCA turned up. The vet we rang advised us to call them but on my way to work I also messaged SNARL who were able to get down there quickly and gave me an update. So I'm afraid I dont know if the RSPCA made it- no reason to think ill of them from my post.
