It’s thought that around 15 inbetweener cats currently live between Besson Street, New Cross Road, and Briant Street on a piece of derelict land that’s earmarked for development.
Cats Protection is now appealing to people with outdoor space who could share their gardens with a couple of cats to help keep them safe and fed.
A group of cats living on waste ground in New Cross are in urgent need of new homes as the space where they live is up for development.
“These kind of colonies of cats arise as a direct result of people not neutering pet cats,” she said.
Speaking to The Standard, Kathy Vanner from Cats Protection said 15 potential leads have come forward since the appeal was launched, but more help is needed.
