I was with TNV up until about a year ago and I had an out of hours emergency. I don’t know what they advise on their voicemail now but back then it was to go to the SLEVC on The High Parade in Streatham. In my panic I heard the message and went to Streatham instead of Camberwell (which is closer to ED) & the experience in Streatham was appalling. Perhaps my pet and I were just very unlucky with the vet on duty that particular night, I don’t know, as I hadn’t been before. But I do know I’ll always regret going to the High Parade clinic in Streatham and will never go near the place with a barge pole ever again. A couple of the nurses were wonderful but the rest was truly dreadful.

Yes, No. 509 Lordship Ln sort of opposite the derelict pub. Bus stop by practice front door

So far I can also vouch for Medivet ED. OK, so to me the premises looks and feels like it hasn’t been updated much since the days of Lomax c2010 but I decided to ignore that and see. At Medivet 9 times out of 10 my newly adopted kitty has been seen by the same staff. I’ve also felt very much acknowledged in each appointment. I recently thought how impressive it was that the vets and nurses can handle an uncooperative fluffball, make assessments/diagnose and include a client, all at the same time.

Definitely 👍 And my cat sometimes shoots into the walk-in utility cupboard at the front of our tenement during meter readings Hopefully Charlie just decided to go on a pre-spring escapade & will turn up very soon 🤞 -
So sorry your Charlie cat is missing 😔 I I’ll keep a lookout. Hope you’re reunited very soon.

Thank you, yes I reckon that’s best for now 👍 -
Thank you South East Lad. I appreciate your empathy. And yes, I will ignore the bullies on this forum, assumption of ‘aggression’ etc. !
-
This cat looks very similar to mine, it could be but I don’t think it is as my cat’s nose is very black on the tip. But thank you anyway 👍

Oh wow, you’re not a particularly pleasant person and you haven’t exactly dazzled me with your ‘charm’ with your choice of words assuming I haven’t already asked my neighbours not to feed him, accusing me of trying to ‘control’ a cat and being inflexible when I’m genuinely very concerned about his health. I said I was upset at the ‘idea’ of someone ‘deliberately’ feeding him.
-
Thank you, and yes, unfortunately I’m also thinking that’s going to be the best solution for now.

I’m not going to dignify your thoughtless and ignorant comments any further than this.

👏👏 i’m glad you can tell it’s not say a dog or a frog

Most of what you posted was not helpful and basically gave the green light to whoever might be idly and irresponsibly feeding him and who also might be trying to train him to use a catflap away from home, knowing full well he isn’t their cat. He is very young, new to the area and cats can be easily confused by selfish silly humans who stuff them with food and extra treats that they don’t need that can lead to distressing (for the cat) chronic diseases that then have to be medicated for life. If you’ve ever had a pet needing medication you’ll know how upsetting this can be. If I ever got it into my head that a random cat was ‘choosing’ me as ‘their human’ I’d put up posters, post on a local forum, enquire at local vets, get it scanned for a microchip etc. to do my best to establish if it had a home before feeding it and getting involved in its care.

I’m afraid in this situation I disagree and I don’t think you’ve understood what I wrote about the catflap and the food he used to go mad for. And I haven’t asked anyone to lock their catflaps.

PS: I believe his weird behaviour about shooting out of his taped open cat flap when he does want to eat at home is due to someone trying to train him to use a cat flap properly. He has never got the hang of it at home hence the tape to keep it open all day (even during artic temps when the expensive heating is on) so he can come and go as he pleases. It’s only locked when he’s in for the night. I’ve given the benefit of the doubt and been polite about things above but I’m VERY upset at the idea someone is deliberately feeding and confusing my cat about where home is. Celia Hammond rescued and fixed him up when he was in a real state (very matted, dirty and skinny) and I then I adopted him. Since then he’s never looked unhealthy or thin so he’s not by any stretch your typical desperate looking waif. He’s just young, cheeky and loves to explore. He is NOT a stray and NOT hungry. I’m also VERY NOT interested in a casual ‘cat-share’ situation 🤬🤬🤬
