Stray little cat needs a loving home

[WestDulwichMum]

Hi, there's a little cat living in the tiny garden of a cafe in East Dulwich since a few months ago. I am a customer of this lovely cafe not only because the food is delicious but also the staff is lovely with my dog and they are kind of looking after this little stray cat. I'm worried about the winter months as this little creature lives outside. The little cat needs help as the days are getting colder and the Cafe can't have the cat living inside. Also I believe the little cat needs a bit of attention, medical care and cuddles.I can't give it a home, and honestly I would love to, because my dog is not nice to cats and also I'm very allergic to cat's fur. Please somebody help this creature? It really only needs a loving home and somebody who understands about cats. Thanks you for reading this.

Has the cat been scanned for a microchip?

[WestDulwichMum]

I don't know. I only visit the cafe as a customer. I don't think the staff has got it scanned.

The staff needs a bit of help as I don't think they know what to do. Neither do I as I never had cats.

Which cafe is it?

[WestDulwichMum]

It's the Boulangerie JADE in Lordship Lane

[Mystic Mog]

Thanks.

[WestDulwichMum]

Are you able to help? Why did you want to know please?

[Mystic Mog]

So that I can do whatever I can to help.

[WestDulwichMum]

Thank you. I have send the cat a small igloo type house to see if it helps with the cold nights. I just don't know if the cat will go inside or not. I have also sent them some cat food to help feeding it. But I don't go there very often so I don't know how things are going these last days. I only po there when I go shopping in Lordship lane.

Do you have a picture of the cat?

[WestDulwichMum]

No I don't, sorry. But If I go to the Cafe this week I'll try to take one. Or I could call the cafe and ask David the manager to take one? They have called me on the phone to thank for the little house I've send it.

[WestDulwichMum]

What I really believe is that the Staff at Jade needs help, they don't know what to do about the little cat that has landed on their tiny garden area.

Just thought if you posted a picture that someone might recognise it as it could be lost. Any collar?

[WestDulwichMum]

I havent seen any collar, no. If someone (who loves and cares about animals) here lives near Londship Lane could you pop at the cafe to have a look at this little cat please? Maybe make pictures etc ?

Hello is the cat tabby and white as I'm still looking for Tess who went missing 29th sept, no collar not chipped, very small, huge appetite and very very skinny, she has white on face and feet, just rung cafe to ask but obviously closed as a bit late. Thanks.

Delainie, you have a perfect excuse to treat yourself at Jade's!

[Delainie]

Haha, do they cater for vegans?!

Will ring cafe tomorrow and will go up there, might even have a quick look this evening.

[Mystic Mog]

Have just been to the cafe and have seen the cat. He/she turned up last year and the staff, in my opinion are doing a great job. He/she has formed a bond with them and does not seem unhealthy at all. The manager says, of course, a proper home would be ideal but she is getting food from them and fish from the fishmonger next door. Probably a lot happier than a lot of poor cats I hear about.

[Phlox]

The igloo house is such a nice idea. Would probably need a plastic crate to put it in, in case it rains. And have it off the ground on a plinth.

[Mystic Mog]

He/she hasn't taken to the igloo apparently, they have built a shelter though.

[Phlox]

Cats are like that. Maybe it will take a few days.

[WestDulwichMum]

Hi, thanks for the news about the little cat. I have also bought a pad to go inside the igloo house from ebay, but it hasn't yet arrived. I hope the cat then goes inside the igloo as the pad has some catnip in it. It was very cold last night and I was worried about her.... I hope it goes inside the igoo soon. I have also sent the staff at the cafe some catnip TOYS to put inside the igloo to try to atract it inside... I don't know if the staff there knows what to do with the catnip toys though... or if they've been too busy... if anybody else goes there please give them this idea to try to get the cat sheltered... catnip should attract it inside the igloo. ...

BUT REALLY this little creature SHOULD BE ADOPTED BY A LOVING FAMILY, please lets talk to nice families we know, always. I'm hopefull this could happen before Xmas 🙏🏼

[WestDulwichMum]

...by the way Delainie I'm vegan too and Jade has some nice options for us yes.

You're welcome, hope you feel reassured. ☺

I also spoke to people in cafe and they seem very nice and seem to know what they are doing, shame it wasn't lost Tess.

Only thing that concerns me is has the cat been scanned for chip, as its so horrible to lose a cat, fair enough if no chip then the cat seems happy enough at cafe, they are kind for looking after it. Anyone know if it's been scanned?
