Found - ginger cat in landells / crystal palace rd area

[jim_the_chin]

Long shot, but there's a cat stuck on a roof at the top end of Landells road. I think it's young given it's mew. It's been up there since yesterday (we've only just worked out where the mew is coming from). If anyone in the locality has lost one let me know.

hi is the cat definitly ginger and not the cat in the picture i have attached?

Thank you

[jim_the_chin]

you posted as i edited, i just had the neighbour round to check and we're both sure it's ginger, it's hard to see as it blends in with the brick behind it, which makes me a sit surer of it's colour. sorry.

[claimer]

Thank you for checking anyway.....;)

I live quite close by... I often see a small-ish ginger/tortoiseshell cat in my garden - does that sound similar?

Do you think it's reachable with a regular ladder, or is it a fireman job?

[jim_the_chin]

it's in next door's garden and they're out so i think it would need a 20ft+ ladder just to get up there from ours, and i don't fancy tangling with a scared moggy at that height. we'll call someone professional in the morning if it's still there.

[jim_the_chin]

sorry to go on about this, but the cat is (mewing-wise) and the combined forces of the rspca/fire brigade seem a bit powerless.

i've attached a pic and should point out it has a distinctive black collar which either jewels or silver studs on it.

Can you reach it from that window? Carefully.

[jim_the_chin]

next door's window, they won't open it for reasons known unto themselves

the picture's from my bathroom wndow, i've thought of finding a long plank of wood and trying to entice it in.

the rspca say it'll come down on it's own, but it hasn't in the last 4 days.

[Jeremy]

It's not the cat I was thinking of, but I'm still happy to help if you need an extra pair of hands. The plank of wood option sounds plausible... how far is it?

[Administrator]

I have made this an announcement, please let us know when the cat comes off the roof.

Has there been something in the cat food of East Dulwich recently to make so many cats want to leave home?

[jim_the_chin]

Jeremy, it's the gap between two terraced houses so about 15 foot max i'd say - this is turning into pet rescue.

it's still mewing as i write but i'm off to bed now. tune in tomorrow...

[jim_the_chin]

fire brigade in attandance as we speak, tune in for further bulletins with dramatic pics!

[claimer]

Make sure you let her out in your garden. I have had cats all my life and she will find her way back no matter how far it is. I just found mine....and i tell you cats aint stupid and remember their way back. My dad gave away one of my cats last year to a friend to look after and it was 5 miles away from home and in a week it came back on its own so let her out in your garden and dont give her to the RSPCA its horible there.

Let us know what happend.

:)

Firemen came, climbed up on the roof, scared the hell out of the poor thing which ran along the roof tops up Landells road and down into someone's garden.

Here endeth the parable of the found moggy

Any pictures?

[jim_the_chin]

there was a mild sense of irony in the 'dramatic pics' comment earlier, only got pics of the firemaen climbing ladders as i had to go to work, the same work that blocks me downloading pics onto PCs.

i'll post what i have later.

hooray for the firemen, boo for the RSPCA who were called by us and another neighbour loads of times and wouldn't beleive my partner because they coudln't see or hear it and just said it would come down on it's own.
