Lost and found cats in Blackheath and Deptford

Have you lost or found a cat in the Blackheath and Deptford area? We’re here to help you.

Lost, found and feral cats

Garden Cats Project: Could you give a home to a pair of inbetweener cats?

Tabby cat hiding in the undergrowth Inbetweener cats exist somewhere on the spectrum between domestic and feral cats.

Truly feral cats are essentially wild animals who will seek to avoid any human interaction, whereas fully domestic cats have experienced positive interactions with humans before they are 8 weeks old, and are consequently what is termed as ‘socialised’ - meaning they enjoy being stroked and sitting on laps etc.

Inbetweener cats usually live outdoors, and are comfortable residing in proximity to humans. Many are regularly fed by people and will form a bond of trust with their feeders, but will usually shy away from being touched.
