☀️Sunbeam🌤️

Approximately 6 years old lap cat. Needs to live as an only cat. Could be indoor only. Would prefer a calm, adult household.

Sunbeam's history is unknown. She was found, in a very distressed state, on the streets, and it took her a few weeks to calm down.

When she did she became extremely clingy. She is currently in foster and wants to be on top of her fosterer constantly, either on her lap or lying on her with her paws round the fosterer's neck when she nuzzles and purrs.

She would make an excellent companion for someone who is at home a lot - perhaps an elderly person.

Her downsides however are that she hates other cats; she turns difficult at the vets; and she occasionally poos just outside her litter box (however this is becoming more and more infrequent, and probably is connected to her having to share a room with another cat, which she isn't at all happy about).

Please email [email protected] with your name, address and contact phone number to register your interest in Sunbeam. 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.

A companion for your resident cat, Hermia could be indoor only. 🐈‍⬛

Hermia came to us as a very shy older kitten who had been born in a garden. She has been with us a long time and now really wants affection , although she is still shy. We are sure that with the attention she will get in a home of her own the shyness will soon go.

She loves other cats and would make a great companion for any existing cats in need of company.

Hermia is a one year old neutered female. Can live with other cats. Would like an adult only home. Could be indoor only or with outdoor access.

Please email [email protected] with your name, address and contact phone number to register your interest in Hermia. Please allow 5-7 days for a reply as we are short staffed and very busy.

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 [email protected] 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.

💔 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 [email protected] 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 [email protected] 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!”

Fifteen Years Living in the small gap between Two Walls [Updated Info]

Fifteen years ago, a feral cat named Sweetie was trapped and neutered by another charity as part of a trap, neuter, return scheme and these cats were released back onto an estate where she ended up living in a narrow gap between two brick walls where she felt safe and secure. It became her whole world, a dark space where she ate, slept, and watched life pass by from the shadows.

For all these years, local residents have fed her. Only one elderly lady was ever able to get close enough to touch poor Sweetie and she fed her everyday on the top of that wall. When that person was taken ill and Sweetie recently stopped eating, concern grew as no one could reach her to help, until now when we were contacted a few days ago.

Our Canning Town Rescue Team constructed something so the trap could be fastened to the top of the wall and managed to safely capture Sweetie at last this week. She’s now with our veterinary team, being assessed and cared for, finally free from the cold shelter she’s known her entire life.

Sweetie's story is a stark reminder of how easily stray cats can slip through the cracks, literally and figuratively. Many spend years roaming, fighting, and fending for themselves, growing old in silence and pain.

That’s why our Emergency Neuter Initiative is so crucial. Each cat we neuter means fewer kittens born to suffer, fewer left to live and die in desperate places like this one.

A 15-year-old cat deserves better than a life between two walls. Sweetie deserves comfort, kindness, and care in her final years.

🐾 Please, if you can, support our Emergency Neuter Initiative to prevent more cats from enduring lives like hers.

📍 www.justgiving.com/campaign/celia-hammond-animal-trust-cat-crisis

We are working to capture a photo of Sweetie but she is currently very frightened and hiding in her pen. When she calms down we will post a photo of this dear soul.
