Stray little cat needs a loving home

[WestDulwichMum]

No, I don't know if it has been scanned. I believe somebody with knowledge of cats could offer to do this maybe? I don't think the staff at Jade will or can do this. They seem very nice but like me they don't know much about what to do and about cats in general. Please could someone offer to take the little thing to be scanned. And treated if needed? I can pay for expenses if needed.

and thank you turtle 👍🏻😉

Is this the cat? This one has a very distinctive moustache marking.

If the cafe staff or someone visiting could call the Celia Hammond trust, they are always happy to come and visit and provide micro chipping scans/ neutering if necessary/ free veterinary treatment/ help rehoming if needed. Lovely people doing very good work.

Hi Mossy are you sure the Celia Hammond people come and visit?

If so I can try and pop at Jade this week and suggest this.

I thought you had to take the get to them.

Hey, I'm pretty certain they still do, they sent two volunteers out to check on a stray cat with a limp that was around my house a year or so ago. Microchip machine might be transportable, and they definitely know how to spot a stray vs an owned cat looking for more food!

Call the rescue line at celias to let them know about this cat

I spoke to a female over the phone at cafe,who told me she feels this has gotten out of proportion and that they are quite happy keeping the cat there and that it is well fed. She said if someone wanted to give it a home they would have to be sure it would be a good home, she also said the cat has been there for over a year and lived out last winter. I think the cat is used to being there and is happy. The cafe do not have a problem at all and from what she said on phone, they do not need help, though appreciate the help they were given,re igloo and food. My only concern is cat hasn't been scanned or has it? As I never asked when on phone, so if someone nearby could take cat to local vets, that would be good. Only incase it is chipped and could be someone's lost cat, if no chip, from what I was told the cat is perfectly happy. There are Celia Hammond colony cats who are quite happy living out. I'd offer to take for scan however not sure when. If I take it or someone else here on forum, I'd ask vet to give a worm tablet and flea treatment whilst in there, may as well get that done! Probably only cost ?10. IF cafe hasn't or isn't doing this already. If it's lost and can find owner all well and good, if not, I'd personally leave the cat there as turtle went to check cat and said it looks healthy and happy. Celia Hammond are too busy most times to visit and as a struggling charity neutering clinic, their priority is trapping/ rescuing unneuterd cats. They are so stretched, though would check cat out etc, though would expect the cat to be taken to them. Should imagine this particular cat is neutered as would've given cafe kittens by now and most definitely cafe owners would know if uncastratrc male!, anyone up for popping in cafe and asking to pop cat to lordship lane vets?

Hi, the little cat IS VERY WELL and VERY WELL looked after by Jade's staff.

And as I also was told they at the Cafe don't wan't that much attention to the cat as it distracts their daily work routine, and I understand this fully, my advice would be to write a note to the manager there offering to help with taking the cat to vet etc etc...And IF they want this help they should call our number etc etc...

We should not pop there any more without the aim to sit and have a coffee or something.

We will make the manager and staff even more unhappy.

So lets just give our telephone numbers on a note and say that we're happy to help and if they need something they should only call us.

Would that be ok? They are trying to get on with their work routine and we don't want to be a bother.

So I've done this already, I've given them my phone number and I've asked them to call me for anything the little cat needs.

Thanks again for trying to help. And if anyone finds a good home for this creature that would be what we aimed for here.

Hi My joy with this precious cat ? :(

[Sobbie]

Hi I'm happy to take her to get scanned at celia Hammond !!

[singalto]

Sobbie, any vet will scan the cat so no need to go to Celia Hammond on such a busy day...It is really kind of you to offer to do it.
