This cat has been 'hanging out' in The Gardens (opposite Peckham Rye, behing Lordship Lane and around the corner from Barry Rd) for some time. We do not think she lives here as nobody knows her so she is most probably lost.


The descrption is:


- light grey fur

- quite long/big but not fat

- distinctive black ringed tail

- not a 'regular cat'

- young but not too young

- female

- friendly, definately indoor cat

- does not bite or scratch


PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS.


We are extremely worried about her as she is scared of being outdoor and we cannot keep her at our flat.

We posted a few ads around our area but if nobody answers very soon we will need to call an animal shelter to take her away which we would like to avoid.


Please forward this message if you think somebody might be looking for their cat.


Thanks for your help.

Hey, sorry to hear that your in this situation. I have a few suggestions though. First and foremost, sending the cat to an animal shelter would be the wrong move to make. Sorry i know you dont have much option, but that cat would end up living a life of misery there.


Im guessing the idea of the cat staying with you for a while until you hear from someone is out of the question. If so, are there any people you know close by, who would be interested in looking after the cat, while you wait for contact from the owner. I know it sounds like a weird thing to do, but people are pretty nice around here and you would be surprised by their generosity.


Also, check around the cats neck to see if it has been chipped. Just feel all around the cats neck, presumably on the back, and if you feel something that resembles a microchip... im guessing youve already done that though =(


Finally, Where you originally found the cat, you might be better off letting her out around there. NOT ON A ROAD... but maybe in a garden near by, where she can eat grass etc etc... and adapt to the outdoors for the time being, =( Then if you do hear anything from the owner, you can let he/she know that you let the cat out around that particular area.


I know these are not ideal solutions... but i promise you, when you send that cat to an animal shelter, it will live a life locked in a cage and not taken care of.


If it is an indoor cat, then you are bound to hear something from the owner.


Put some "found missing cat" signs up along your road and roads close by.. such as barry rd,and hopefully youll get a response.


Good luck. Be patient, and to be honest my best advice would be again, to find someone close by who doesnt mind lookin after the cat until you hear news. =)

Gosh Daniel, I don't think all animal shelters are like that, i got my cat from cats protection and she wasn't kept in a cage but running free and definitley well cared for, and she now has a great life.


It's not ideal for the cat to be taken to a shelter/charity but if a cat has no home at least it will get the chance of a new one. Hopefully someone will come forward and claim this one first anyway.


Sorry to hear about your cat spadetownboy.

Thank you for your advice.


We will keep her for a bit as 'kicking her out' on the street or giving her away to an animal shelter is not an option. If nobody contacts us we will take her to the vet in a few days and see if she has a microchip. I can not feel any at the moment but she does not allow us to touch her too much.

She is a very friendly and quiet cat and sleeping now. We have printed out more ads which we will post around a wider area tonight.

Sorry to hear about your cat spadetownboy.


Thanks for your help.

      Police appeal: Monday, 25 August – Assault between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs

      By hjt32 · Posted

      I was threatened at about 8.30am when heading to work one weirdly quiet morning a few weeks ago as I was crossing by Oliver bonas at the same time as the man. He was maybe late 40s dressed fairly scruffy but not in a stand out way. Unprovoked he said he would ‘knock me out’ and then kept pointing back at me to let me know he was watching me as he headed towards goose green roundabout. It really shook me up as there was no one else around.    I am a woman in her late 30s

      We've all noticed how once grotty town centres have improved and gentrified over the last decade or so, Deptford, Peckham, Honor Oak, Brockley.  Just count the bars and coffee shops.  Catford is going that way and Lewisham and Forest Hill next.  We are in an affluent area, and the above is more relevant to forgotten towns and areas.

      Commercial waste Lordship Lane

      By hjt32 · Posted

      Hi All, Apologies if there have been other threads about this. I am really concerned and quite scared about vermin for those of us that live close to the high street. I know they are something we have to accept to an extent but it feels like they are currently being given a welcome and easy ride…I have recently sent the below email to Southwark council, if you feel the similarly I’d encourage you to do the same…  [email protected] if you have suggestions of others I can be in touch with please let me know… Dear Southwark Council, I live at xxxx and am seriously concerned about the way commercial shop and restaurant waste is managed on Lordship Lane high street. Most businesses put their rubbish out on the pavement at the end of the day in Southwark bin bags, which are collected the following morning.  Most mornings they have been ripped open by vermin (rats and foxes) with food waste across the pavements and a slick of oily stains. For those of us that live close to the high street there is a hygiene concern about the state of the pavements and the rats in our gardens and potentially entering and damaging our homes and cars and as well as the risks of illness.  Please advise if you will be reviewing the arrangements to move to a bin system to help with the issue?? Particularly in light of this news on the vast increase of rats in our cities:  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gvk397j80o All best, Xxxx

      @Spartacus It seems a very complex subject and I have no knowledge of the places awarded money but pride of place has many more ingredients than retail.
