Yes, please go to a rescue, there are so many benefits in addition to helping a charity.


We got our cats from Battersea when they were kittens and they are lovely, affectionate creatures. I've heard some people say that they think cats from rescues will have "an attitude" but this really is ridiculous.


Benefits of adopting from a rescue include: free or reduced low-cost neutering, free or reduced cost initial vaccinations, free microchipping, possibly a few weeks free food, possibly free insurance for a month or so (Battersea offer this, not sure about other rescues). Also advice and support.


Also, not all rescues have long-winded adoption procedures, Battersea certainly doesn't. Not sure about the others but would still recommend going to a rescue, even if they do, as at least you know that their kittens/cats will have been health-checked, defleaed and wormed etc.

definitely second Celia Hammond. We were turned down by Battersea for kittens because we both worked full time (at that time), whereas CH wanted us to take more than 2 - their view was our house was better than their pen, and the kittens would have each other (and wouldn't be kittens for long) while we were at work. They were very supportive whilst our semi-feral kittens settled in. Even though we don't qualify for their low-cost vet care they are happy to treat them as their feralness makes it difficult for us to take them to a regular vet (and we always make a donation).

Yes please adopt a kitten from a rescue center. I've got two lovely cats and they both came from North London Cat Home, I've had no problems at all with them and they really are the most affectionate cats I've ever met. A bit more like dogs really - so sociable and friendly. A bit high maintenance in my opinion but that's probably due to the fact mu husband and I spoil them!


There are SO many cats and kittens that need a new home. Celia Hammond is great and do such amazing work around south London, it's kitty season now so they are probably more than happy to help.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Yes but what's the answer, Jazzer? No government can simply walk in and fix the economy - get the bills down, grow it and reduce debt. There is no silver bullet. The public (and the press) wants everything now, everything cheaper, but with better public services and lower taxes.  In the radio and paper, all you ever hear is pundits, MPs, think tanks and economists saying what won't work, but no one seems to know what will work.  I'm genuinely interested to hear what other views people have on here, and what they think will help, or make things worse.

      While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude.

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.
