We saw a small black, little bit fluffy cat on the corner of Landcroft and Pellatt road shortly after Christmas. It was very friendly and jumped on to my knee when I bent down to pet it.


We've just seen it again now and it's lost a lot of weight and fur. It looks like it's struggling with its back legs as well. We tried knocking on doors nearby but no one was in.


We were very worried about it so have taken it to the vet to scan for microchip. If anyone knows anything about the cat or its owners please let me know.


Thanks - I'll upload a pic later

When we went back we weren't able to find it, so haven't been able to take it to the vet to get it scanned.


It has lost a lot of fur from it's hind quarters and along it's back and is very skinny.


I'll keep checking back to see if I can spot it again.

It's so hard to know if it's well cared for or not. From what I can see it's underweight and the loss of fur on it's back legs and back look like some kind of problem with fleas or mange. But it's almost impossible to guess at its circumstances. Cats get ill/fleas/lose weight in the best of homes.


singalto: does the cat you're talking about have quite a lot of fur loss? I think the one we met must be well known as it's very friendly.

I saw a cat like this on Oglander Road today, stopped for a stroke and I went to get some food but couldn't find it when I got back.


If anyone sees him/ her, please try and get her to the vet.


It may have been a different one, but sounds just alike

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
