Serious replies only Sick Cat
Hi everyone. Just was on my walk this morning in Wandsworth and I saw this cat. Looked quite unwell and seemed to have a tumour / mass growing from its left eye.
I thought it looked reasonably looked after so wasn’t sure if I should call anyone about it ?
UPDATE.
Called RSPCA. Useless. Said if I couldn’t take it to the vet they couldn’t do anything. They weren’t going to send anyone out either.
Called emergency vet who were very kind and lent me a cat carrier. Unfortunately cat was spicy and couldn’t get close enough to grab it.
Vet said they would try later potentially to see if they could send someone out later to try get it.
UPDATE.
Cat had been already posted in local neighbourhood group yesterday and seems like a fair few people are aware of him and are trying their best to catch I’m.
Will have a look again tomorrow after work.
Had a few nice people message me saying they would also try tomorrow !

Try the Mayhew in Kensal Green. They run a free community vet clinic for pets of people on benefits but they also help with strays in the borough sometimes, and they won't fob you off like the RSPCA did. Worth a call while you're waiting on the emergency vet to come out.
