About celia
Adopt feral cats
we have been granted planning permission to build a new cattery at our Lewisham centre
The cost of the new building is £1,000,000 which we are intending to fund in part from legacy income but do also need to fundraise a significant amount. Provided we have sufficient funding the anticipated start date is June 2024 with a 9-12 months construction time. The pace of progress though will be reliant on having sufficient funding at each stage and we need to successfully raise a significant sum of money during financially challenging times.
Please help to support us. Anything you can give will help us on this journey, no matter how big or small.

Moschino’s story began as a shy stray living around a small housing estate. At first, he was extremely timid and preferred to stay hidden, but after about eight weeks, something wonderful happened — Moschino blossomed! He started seeking out attention, loving gentle strokes, and even enjoys being picked up now. His purr is a clear sign he’s found comfort and trust.
Though Moschino was previously adopted, he was sadly returned due to not getting along with another resident cat. Interestingly, during his foster time, he lived peacefully with other cats, but we believe Moschino would truly thrive as an only cat in a calm, patient home.
Moschino would do best in a home with calm children and where he can enjoy outdoor access — he loves exploring but appreciates a quiet, loving environment.
If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate feline companion who’s ready to shower you with love, Moschino might just be the perfect match!
Please email HelloAdoptions@celiahammond.org with your name, address and contact phone number to register your interest in this handsome Moschino. Please allow 5-7 days for a reply as we are short staffed and very busy.
We are prioritising homes that are local to our centre and these are the Canning Town catchment areas: East London, parts of North London and parts of West Essex.
Our cats are rescues, that have either been abandoned, stray, neglected or abused. All homes need to have a home check either by video call or in person and we will provide advice about caring for cats or kittens. This is also a chance for us to see what type of home you can offer to one of our cats and to best match a cat with your home and family.
Following a successful home visit, we will make an appointment for you to come and meet the cats at the shelter and adopt.

💔 Little Robin’s Story 💔
Tiny Robin was found in St. Alfege Church, Greenwich. She’s only around six weeks old, alone and frightened with no sign of her mother or siblings. When she arrived at our Lewisham clinic, her eye was severely infected and then burst.
We can’t begin to imagine how much this tiny kitten has suffered. She’s now safe in the care of our Lewisham veterinary team, where she’s receiving strong pain relief and round-the-clock care. Once she’s strong enough, our vets will perform surgery to remove what’s left of the damaged eye as it can’t be saved.
Robin’s journey is a heartbreaking reminder of why our Emergency Neuter Project is so urgent. Every unneutered cat can lead to countless unwanted litters, and every litter increases the risk of kittens like Robin, being born into suffering.
If you can, please help us give Robin the operation and recovery she deserves, and help prevent more stories like hers from happening again. 💕

Cleocatra is a sweet and gentle girl who came to us with pyometra. After being neutered and given some extra care, she has made a full recovery and is now ready to find her forever home.
She’s a loving cat whose personality shines the more time you spend with her. Cleocatra adores attention—when she knows you’re there just for her, she’ll happily headbutt your hand, asking for as many cuddles as she can get.
As she can still be a little easily startled, Cleocatra would be happiest in a calm home without young children. She would love to have access to a garden, and we haven’t yet tested her with other cats, as she’s still a bit unsure.
Please email HelloAdoptions@celiahammond.org with your name, address and contact phone number to register your interest in this sweet Cleo. Please allow 5-7 days for a reply as we are short staffed and very busy.
We are prioritising homes that are local to our centre and these are the Canning Town catchment areas: East London, parts of North London and parts of West Essex.

Freddo and Luna are a loving pair searching for a new home together. 🩵
They came into our care after their owner sadly had to go into hospital.
Freddo is 6 years old and Luna is 4. Despite the age gap, they’re actually siblings from different litters and share a wonderful bond. You’ll often find them snuggled up together in the same bed, happily napping side by side.
This sweet duo adore people and love spending time with each other as well as with their human friends.
Freddo and Luna are looking for a home with access to a garden. They’d be happy living with children and could also share their home with other cats.
Please email HelloAdoptions@celiahammond.org with your name, address and contact phone number to register your interest in this friendly pair. Please allow 5-7 days for a reply as we are short staffed and very busy.

“Just wanted to send a picture of Saffie (who was known as Sophie when she was with you) who I adopted from you when she was abandoned in a flat in 2018. She now lives in Sussex and is a big cat sister to two little boys who she keeps an eye on from afar! She is such a lovely cat who loves playing and joining us at the foot of the bed or the arm of the sofa for strokes. We’re so grateful you let us adopt her when we lived in London back then. Thank you for all you do for cats!”
