ANIMAL RESCUE

Us Collywooders have proved to be true animals lovers judging by the posts in the local social media groups.

Having rescued cats myself I know RSPCA do not always have the time to assist but VETERINARY ASSIST is Morden is great for lending a helping hand. If you're trying to trap/help an animal (domestic or wild) in distress get in touch.

They is committed to providing, through their charitable arm, essential services in time of need, regardless of the client's circumstances.

Tel: 07961 952 379 / 07940 360 936 or fill in the online form HERE

If you find an injured cat, dog or any domestic animal you can take it to any of the local veterinary surgeries or BLUE CROSS Animal Hospital on the High Street.

If your cat has gone walkabout you can report it missing in our very own COLLIERS WOOD CATS FACEBOOK GROUP.

I started this group for locals cat owners so we can share all things feline. Owners of other pets can to join as well - everybody's more than welcome!
