Hi all,


Roughly 8wks ago (as I work a late shift) my husband met me at the bus stop on Lordship Lane to escort me home and walking up North Cross Rd and cutting through Ulverscroft Road (around midnight) I noticed 3 kittens (1 black and 2 white/mixed) outside and immediately thought they are too young to be left unattended. One house had it's lights on, music playing and ground floor front window open, so I knocked the front door to ask "are these your kittens" and without hesitation the man said "yes, they are mine" and let me place them back into his house and closed the door.


Now 2wks ago coming home late again, I saw a kitten and recognised it as the black one from the original trio. I've been concerned since as to it's well being as there were many foxes around.


Yesterday, I had a day off from my working late shifts and thought I'd knock at to ask if the kittens are well, as I saw one out again 2wks prior... the guy (with his wife silently hovering in the background) now claims that they never had kittens and they have alot of strays in the back garden???


I wish originally he said he didn't want them and I would have took them off his hands 8wks ago.

I suggest you report your concerns to the RSPCA or Celia Hammond. RSPCA can do a welfare check and get any unwanted kittens signed over for rehoming.

 

Many thanks for the advice. I've spoken to neighbouring residents and have been informed that the black kitten has now been received by Celia Hammond.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
