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.

Missing cat New Cross Area London SE14
We don't usually share missing cat appeals due to the sheer number that we receive but we do feel particularly concerned for this poor cat who escaped from her cat carrier on 13th August outside the PDSA vets in New Cross whilst being taken for an appointment on the morning of 13th August. She is neutered and microchipped and her distraught owners have been searching the area early every morning and late every evening since she escaped.
Please share this appeal in the New Cross and South East London area. Thank you ... See MoreSee Less
Found Kitten - Westwood Park London SE23
"Dave" is a very friendly kitten who has been handed in as a stray. He had been visiting the garden of a home for several days whilst the occupants were on holiday, a pet sitter who was feeding the resident cats that live there started feeding him. They returned home and asked around neighbours but could not locate his owner and as their own cats were unhappy with his presence they brought him to us.
Dave is approx 5 months old and is not microchipped, but he is in lovely condition and very friendly and we wonder if he is owned rather than abandoned. We have put up Found cat posters in the area but not yet had a response.
Any enquiries please email lewisham@celiahammond.org ... See MoreSee Less
💔 Broken and Abandoned: Help Us Heal Ollie 💔
Ollie was left in a box outside our Canning Town Centre in the early hours of the morning. Our veterinary nurse had gone outside to get a drink and when she went out again five minutes later, the box was there. When he was brought in the nurse and Celia lifted him out, he immediately collapsed, too weak to stand on his back legs. X-rays revealed the truth: a broken leg and pelvis.
Sadly, we see many abandoned animals dumped outside our clinic, but to abandon cat who is already badly injured is shocking. Thankfully we found him on the street, before someone else did.
Rising veterinary costs mean more people are giving up animals they can’t afford to treat. It’s a national crisis, and Ollie is the latest victim.
Our team of vets and nurses are giving him the urgent care and pain relief he desperately needs. And his fractures have now been repaired.
🙏 Please donate if you can, or share Ollie’s story to help us raise the funds to cover this cost of his surgery. So this gentle boy can enjoy the simple joys every cat deserves: safety, comfort and love.

“We adopted Kafka (formerly Pia) from CHAT and have been head over heels in love with her since. She is full of personality, the boss of the house and a huge cuddle bug come evening time. We are absolutely obsessed with our fluffy tuxedo kitty and are so thankful to CHAT for bringing us together.”

A miraculous cat reunion….
In the early hours of the morning, a motorist driving through the mile-long Rotherhithe Tunnel was shocked to see a cat running amongst the traffic. Despite fast-moving vehicles, he stopped his car and managed to secure the cat before taking her to our Canning Town Clinic.
Our nurse gave her a comfortable place to sleep and plenty of food. After scanning her for a microchip, we were able to contact her owner, who had recently returned from holiday to discover her cat had been missing for several days. She left her cat with a close friend who had always looked after of her when she was away. They were both devastated. Nobody could imagine how she ended up in the tunnel.
The owner described the reunion as “a huge relief” and confirmed her plans to fit her adventurous girl with a tracker so that she will always know where she is.
A huge thank you to the heroic member of the public who risked his own safety to save the life of this elderly cat.

✨ Update on Kit: our brave little fighter is out of surgery and in recovery and thanks to you, this tiny kitten now has a future free from pain. ✨
Last week we shared the heartbreaking story of Kit, the tiny blind kitten who needed urgent surgery to remove both of his ruptured eyes.
We’re so relieved to tell you that Kit has now had his operation and is safely in recovery. 💕 This brave boy came through surgery well and is already starting to adapt, with the same cheerful, resilient spirit that captured all of our hearts.
🙏🏼We want to extend a heartfelt thank you for the overwhelming outpouring of love and support for Kit. Your kindness has not only helped to cover his surgery and medication but has reminded us just how many people believe, like we do, that every life is worth saving.
Kit still has some way to go in his recovery, but thanks to you he now has a future free from pain. 🐾
🙏 From all of us, and from our precious Kit, thank you. 💖

Rudy is looking for his forever home. 🩵
Rudy is a sweet, one-year-old boy who has truly blossomed during his time at the shelter. When he first arrived, he was very nervous and unsure around new people and situations. But with time, patience, and care, Rudy’s personality has completely transformed.
He’s now a confident, affectionate cat who loves following people around, always hoping for a bit of attention. Rudy especially enjoys playtime—he could happily chase a feather toy with you for hours!
Rudy is looking for a loving home with access to a garden. He would do well with older children and is also happy to live with other cats.
Please send your contact information to helloadoptions@celiahammond.org to inquire about precious Rudy.
Help us find Rudy a home by sharing this post. 🙏🏼
We are prioritising homes that are local to our Canning Town Centre and these are the catchment areas: East London, parts of North London and parts of West Essex.

"We adopted a very naughty floof and we love her so much! 😻
We adopted Luna from your Lewisham Centre. She is completely deaf so she stays as an indoor kitty.
She is superrr loving. She is always climbing on our chest for cuddles (we think she likes our heartbeat but could be wrong). Her favourite game is hide and seek and will chase us around the flat 😂 We love her so much! 💜💜💜 " - Megan and Ferran

Mercedes is a sweet and affectionate 14½-year-old girl who’s ready to find her forever home. She originally came to us with her brother, Minstrel, but due to health issues, they’ve since been separated and are thriving on their own.
Mercedes is a real cuddle companion, she loves nothing more than curling up beside someone on the sofa, soaking up affection and sharing quiet moments.
She has been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, which is currently managed with a special prescription diet and routine blood tests. Mercedes will be placed under our long-term foster scheme, meaning her blood tests will be covered at one of our clinics. Her prescription food can easily be ordered online.
Mercedes is looking for a calm, indoor home where someone is around most of the day. She prefers to be the only cat and would do best in a home without children.
If you have space in your heart and home for this gentle girl, Mercedes would love nothing more than to be your devoted companion. Please send your contact information to helloadoptions@celiahammond.org to inquire.
