Lost Blind Cat - Black

[Guest]

Hi All

My neighbour on St Francis Road has found a black cat that is blind and possibly deaf. We are taking her to Neighbourhood Vet to see if she is microchipped. The cat looks to be in healthy condition

Please let me know if you own this cat or knows who does. My neighbour can't look after it behind tonight and neither can I.

[Guest]

Unfortunately the cat is not microchipped.

Oh dear, I wonder if you can let all the local vets and animal rescues have details in case they have been contacted by the owner. It was very good of you to take it to see if it had a microchip.

[Guest]

what other vets and animal rescue places are there in this area?

The cat is male and was walking on the street and bumping into parked cars. My neighbour has taken her in for tonight but she's not equipped to look after him for very long

We think it's local to the St Francis Road / Dulwich Hamlet area as it couldn't have travelled far in it's current state without being injured.

Contact the RSPCA or Celia Hammond Trust

Don't contact the RSPCA - they euthanise animals they can't rehome.

It's worth putting up posters locally, esp if you think she's a local cat. Someone will be worried about her somewhere and it's too soon to pass her onto an organisation that will take her out of the area.

The Celia Hammond Trust found the (East Dulwich) owner of a sick cat I took there because I thought it was a stray, and happily reunited them within a few days.

You could try phoning them for advice first, which is what I did.

ETA: They took the cat into their care after I phoned them, so if you say you and your neighbour can't look after it, I'm sure they would help, and also try to find the owner. You could still put up posters locally as well, if you wanted to.

There is a blind cat that lives in The Gardens but wears a collar and is slightly tabby so not sure if it is the same one?

and doubt he could travel that far without getting injured

[Mands]

I would knock on all the doors of that road to see if anyone knows who he belongs to.

[Roxcyzarzar]

Dear little thing x i would defo try cellia hammond first and not RSPCA. If I didn't have a full house at moment id take him in myself untill reunited with his owners and or if no luck in finding them untill his rehomed :(

Please let us (East Dulwich forum) know how you get on x

[Guest]

some good news!

After some door knocking and my neighbour putting up posters, the owner has been located on St Francis Road. The posters did the trick.

Thanks all for the advice...

[Blah Blah]

That's terrific news. Well done in finding the owner.

[Jennys]

Oh I am so pleased to read this. You did so very well to track down the owner. They must be pleased to have him home.

[Roxcyzarzar]

Excellent news :) & well done you TD and your neighbours for all your kindness, thank you ;)

[Sue]

Brilliant! Lucky cat to have been found by such warmhearted and caring people!

[Mands]

Great news that his owner has been found.
