Rose – HOMED!

Rose was abandoned in her cat carrier outside some flats near to our clinic.  A member of our staff leaving work for the day had seen a couple with a cat in a cat carrier hanging around but had wrongly assumed they had been in for a vets appointment at our clinic and were waiting for a lift home.  Later that evening a resident found the cat in the carrier outside their flats and took her in overnight and brought her to us in the morning.  It was then that the cat carrier was recognised and our staff member realised that what they had seen was the couple loitering prior to abandoning the poor cat.

Our vets estimate Rose to be approx 2 years old. She wasn't microchipped. Our vets will be microchipping her and checking that she is neutered, then she will be ready for a new home.

UPDATE 23rd AUGUST: GOOD NEWS ROSE HAS FOUND A NEW HOME!

ADOPTION PROCESS:

Because our cats are rescued we do like to meet potential adopters this can either be at your home (home visit) or via a video call e.g WhatsApp this is an informal visit to provide advice about caring for cats or kittens e.g health care, feeding, settling in and also an opportunity for us to feel reassured that you could provide a good home.

Following a successful home assessment we can make an appointment for you to come and meet our cats.

We are prioritising homes that are local to our centres. Lewisham Branch Homing catchment area: All SE London and BR (Bromley) postcodes. Also N.Kent (Welling, Bexley, Sidcup, Swanley, Dartford), Croydon and SW London (SW8, SW9, SW2, SW11, SW4, SW12, SW16) If you can offer a home to a 'harder to rehome' cat we will consider homes outside our usual rehoming areas.

Our Rescue Centre reception is also open every Saturday and Sunday afternoon between 1p.m and 5p.m for potential adopters to drop in to meet us for an initial chat about adopting one or more of our cats. Our address is 233-235, Lewisham Way SE4 1UY - please bring a donation of cat food to help us feed our rescue cats.
