Celia Hammond are far too snotty, in my opinion.
They refused me a cat on the basis that they'd had reports of cats in my road being shot by someone with an air-rifle. I told them that I'd never seen any of the neighbouring cats (of which there are plenty) in anything other than the rudest of health. I also asked if they'd ever actually treated a cat from my locality that had received such an injury - and if so when this last happened. They couldn't (or wouldn't) answer and still refused me a cat.
I ended up having to kidnap a cat. Four years on he still hasn't been shot - neither has any other cat in the neighbourhood.
I'd go to Battersea.
or go to the north london cats protection place, they WILL consider people outside north london (tho obviously living in south london WILL scar a cat for life and they'll have to take that into account 
)

Do any cats ever get rehomed by the "Streatham Cat Rescue" group 
I can't find contact details for them on the web, but they seem to have been selling jumble to raise funds for them outside Streatham Odeon every Saturday for the last decade.

If anybody shoots at that cat they'll have me to deal with. He is the finest cat in all of south London.past caring said:

They used to collect cat food in Safeways in Crystal Place. Well worth calling them, CK.

They couldn't have been nicer to us -- maybe you had an over-zealous volunteer visiting you or something? We had a home-check and then we visited our prospective cats at their foster home and then picked them up a few days later. It was very easy. They rang a few months later to check on their progress, which I thought both sweet and efficient.
I have heard reports from various people that Battersea won't let you have a cat if you work full-time, which seems ridiculous.

The lady who runs the Streatham cat rescue is called Dawn and she is outside the Odeon each Saturday. There is usually an advert in the local paper with her details so if I see it i'll let you know.
Most of her cats are a bit troubled because they have come from bad homes.

Battersea do a home check on you aswell and you must own your flat/house I think.
Fortunately my cats aren't internet savvy or they'd never speak to me again.Ms T said:Harvey is very upset by this.

What if you live above Iceland?
Seriously though, this has to be nonsense? Do they only want a better class of foster parent? Or maybe they are worried about people moving about too frequently - I suppose that could be it....
Anyway, Ms T - I'm glad Celia Hammond worked out for somebody. I didn't even get as far as a home visit - they simply nished me over the phone....

Jones always checks what I've been looking at. He's a very resourceful cat. (And he looks at kitty porn all the time, dirty little tyke...)

Well, I did actually get a cat in the end - Buster. As it goes, I didn't actually kidnap him but found him as a stray kitten on New Year's Eve four years ago. Chased me mewling down the street, clearly hadn't been fed in days, jumped into my arms and happily snuggled inside my jacket the whole mile walk home. Then promptly jumped on the bed and pissed on it!
I think he might like a friend - the other cats in the immediate neighbourhood have moved away with their owners. But my girlfriend reckons he's so happy (it's true he is happy) that it's not worth the risk........

It must have been fate!
Tricky decision whether to get another cat. They're not really social animals in the same way as dogs, and they can really take against each other. The Celia Hammond trust woman said one of her cats absolutely hated the sight of the other, newer one until the day he died. And ours (who are mother and son) regularly scrap with each other.
Bed pissing aside (been there, done that*) you're a very lucky chap to have had him adopt you.past caring said:Well, I did actually get a cat in the end - Buster.

PJ had just been weaned on to boiled fish and the quilt smelled of fishy wee for ages after. For years you only had to say ''fishy wee" to her and she would look sheepish.)
