THIS lively black cat was found lurking behind a fence with her kittens.

A very hot afternoon was spent enticing them all out of their hiding place and now they are all safe together.

Mum cat has been called Lavender; she is now neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. If you can offer Lavender an adult home, with a garden, please call 020 8752 0793.

Lavender is so friendly that she must have been someone's cat but sadly they failed to get her microchipped or neutered.

Most of the veterinary practices in the areas covered by the Gazette have C4 vouchers. These vouchers provided by various animal charities including RSPCA, Cats Protection, CAT allow free neutering of cats belonging to people on benefits or low income.
