So many of us on the East Dulwich Forum and in East Dulwich have adopted animals from Celia Hammond Animal Trust. They are an awesome "no-kill" animal rescue charity who receive no government support.


Animal Friends Pet Insurance are running a giveaway of ?100,000 to one of three charities, and Celia Hammond made the list.


Please please vote and share as much as you can to help Celia Hammond Animal Trust win this money. They do such incredible work and every penny will be put to the rescue and protection of vulnerable animals.

The link to vote is below:

Sorry not voting for a cat charity. Too many of them doing damage to gardens, wildlife and homes. They are not pets they are using us for warmth and food. I get more attention from the neighbourhood foxes. And I have a cat from Celia Hammond so I'm pretty well informed.


But thanks for the link as I will probably vote for one of the other ones. (attempt to make a noise like a cat with claws out fighting).

Malumbu given you?re well informed about Celia Hammond then you must have seen the wall posters at the clinic educating people about neutering etc and that treatment for your cat there requires neutering. Here?s what their website says:



?The Trust's primary aim and objective is to humanely reduce the population of dogs and cats, both pedigree and mongrel, in the UK, by neutering.To qualify for treatment at our clinics your pet must be neutered or going to be neutered as soon as possible.


Given your concerns about wildlife, which I?m sure most people share, I?d have had thought you?d think this a good thing.

Ahhhhh, you're "THAT" guy.

Well done.

Well that has told me HP Saucy, perhaps it may have been worth explaining this at the start of the post as I clearly haven't bothered reading the bumf. Laudable aims and objectives - sadly where do all these cats come from? Someone must be breeding them.


Out of order SE22cat - forum is for information and debate not insults you twit. Whoops.

Wasn?t trying to be preachy - just didn?t want Celia Hammond?s rationale to pass people by and loose them any votes. Sadly too many cats and dogs not neutered. Took a stray in our road - apparently abandoned by owners couple of years before. Not neutered! Took him to Celia Hammond who kindly did neutering and vaccinations for us. He?s a really loving cat. Another lovely cat near us apparently kept to breed kittens to sell. Bloody irresponsible and then others have to deal with the problem.


Have three ex strays. Luckily none yet have shown signs of killing local wildlife larger than spiders although god knows what they really get up to outside.

Hi Saucy, Thanks for the nice PM (which you sent accidentally) - I was touched! wrote you a longish reply sharing my experience of numerous rescue animals (most of the canine persuasion) but your inbox is full. Do clear your inbox and I'll resend. All nice and friendly, but too long for the thread here

Just a quick reminder to request votes for Celia Hammond! Currently, their X-Ray equipment is in dire need of replacing and with sick and injured cats arriving each day, this vital equipment could be replaced with the award.


They do such good charity work with no government funding, and this award would be life changing for the team and the animals in their care!

I've voted on behalf of my Celia Hammond cat, snoozing by my feet as I type - thanks for drawing it to my attention, bcam. I'm surprised I didn't get an email urging me to vote from the Celia Hammond Trust itself as I'm sure I signed up to their mailing list at one point. I fear without a coordinated mobilisation campaign for their supporters they won't get enough votes to win. Or maybe I've just dropped off their list somehow... Anyway, all deserving causes, as Angelina says above.

Thank Redjam. A lot of the time resources are on social right now. Alongside pushing for the award, they're still running over-capacity rescue centres and clinics, so it's probably purely down to time.

It's awesome you voted tho, so thank you!

    • I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights. 
    • I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's  when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.
    • The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
    • Do you mean that there are only very few trades people and that all of their thousands of happy customers post glowing reviews but most of them have only ever posted once to recommend said trade person on the trade person's own thread?   If so, I agree it's mysterious.
