UPDATED 9th July:

Hi - just to add to the info above. This lovely tabby/white/tortoiseshell cat escaped whilst being rehomed outside SOAMES ST SE15 on 6th July. Her two kittens are safe but missing her. Unfortunately guy dropping her off didn't use a carrier and the cat escaped. She is now out, scared and in totally unfamiliar surroundings! As Amanda's post says she's very very nervous so hoping someone can gently entice her with food without scaring her (see details on attached image).

I've attached an image with more details about the cat and contact details for Amanda who's desperately trying to find her...

This clearly wasn't handled by a rehoming shelter... sad. The best times to call & search are mornings & evenings when the streets have less activity, she can hear a familiar voice & will be more likely to come out. Good luck.

Are her kittens weaned? If not, you could try taking a couple of them out in a secure cat basket if she is spotted. The call of her kittens will bring her out. Also speak to either Celia Hammond or the Cats Protection League, who have a lot of experience and the right equipment for catching nervous cats. They won't judge over what has happened, but they will help to catch a nervous cat.


Just as aside (for information) and not to lay blame in anyway. Rehoming or moving a cat when they are nursing kittens always comes with risk. Mothers wean kittens in a space they feel to be safest. So they are always very nervous if that is moved or disrupted in some way, even if the intention is a good one. Also, once a cat comes into season, she will be chased by every non neutered Tom, which means she can be chased for miles. So the need to find this cat asap is more than just one of her not getting pregnant again.

    • I've noticed the foxes are very frisky at the moment, it's mating season. Perhaps it was a male fox who saw you as a danger to his vixen and wanted to see you off.
    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
