"Our friends at Protected Paws are searching for a very special foster home for Louie, and we're hoping our community can help.

Louie came into their care a few months ago, and it soon became clear that something wasn't right. He was always thirsty, painfully thin, and constantly hungry no matter how much he ate. A urine test and blood glucose check revealed the cause: severe, untreated diabetes that had left him critically unwell. Treatment began straight away, and a wonderful couple, Jennifer and Mark, stepped in to foster him, saving his life.

With a house move and travel ahead for Jennifer and Mark, Protected Paws urgently need someone to take over Louie's journey.

And he really is worth it. Louie is an older gentleman with the sweetest soul. You can see the hard life he's lived, and yet he remains gentle, affectionate, and trusting. He deserves to know what it feels like to be truly cherished, for his remaining years.

Could that someone be you? Protected Paws are looking for a foster who:

🐾 Lives in London
🐾 Can give insulin injections every 12 hours (Louie is wonderfully cooperative and doesn't put up a fight)
🐾 Is happy to join their Medical Souls support group and work closely with Kerry on his care plan
🐾 Can bring him to DNA Vetcare (locations across West and South West London; emergency hospitalisation may be needed in Victoria)
🐾 Can follow his medical, dietary, and treatment plans consistently
🐾 Understands Louie must stay on a strict diabetic diet, with food kept separate from any other cats in the home

All of Louie's medical expenses will be covered, provided you use their vets and work alongside Kerry, their medical coordinator.

Above all, Louie needs a safe home, with a warm bed and someone to love him. If that could be you, please get in touch and fill in the foster application: https://forms.gle/WKmh5pGFJLgV9qsV9

Please also share this post to help Protected Paws find Louie the home he so deeply deserves 💙

Most people approach cats in a way that feels overwhelming — and cats are often very clear about how they feel about it.

In this Reel, our Head Nurse Alice demonstrates the best way to introduce yourself to a cat, with a little help from Samson, a friendly stray who came in to be neutered with us today.

The key to any positive interaction with a cat is allowing them to remain in control.

Rather than approaching directly, try getting down to their level, avoiding prolonged eye contact, and offering your presence from the side. To a cat, these small adjustments can make the difference between feeling threatened and feeling safe.

Then, give them the opportunity to choose the interaction.

A useful guideline is to keep contact brief at first — a few seconds, then pause. If the cat chooses to re-engage, you can continue gradually, focusing on areas many cats enjoy, such as the cheeks and around the head. If they move away, respect that choice and give them space.

Cats are constantly communicating through their body language. When we listen to those signals and allow them control over the interaction, trust can develop naturally.

A cat who feels safe is a cat who can relax.

How to introduce a new cat to your resident cat is one of the most common questions we get asked. Our Senior Vet Nurse Alice explains where to start.

Cats are solitary by nature. They can bond beautifully, but it is never guaranteed, and the introduction is everything.

Start with a separate room for the new cat. Their own food, water, litter, toys, and hiding spaces. Everything new or theirs. Nothing that carries your resident cat's scent.

The next step is to scent swap before they ever meet, exchange their bedding so that they get used to each other's scent and develop a communal scent. This is how cats recognise group membership.

Slow, calm, and led by your cats.

🐾 Feline Friday: meet Elsa, our Finest Feline Face of the month. Elsa is chatty, cuddly, and a full-time narrator of her own life.

Her family wakes up to a running commentary on the birds, updates on whether she has decided to go upstairs and very firm reminders that breakfast is overdue.She sunbathes with the commitment of a professional.

Elsa sits under the long grass in the garden, convinced she is camouflaged, watching the squirrels with great seriousness.

When she is ready to play, she brings her toys to her humans. When she is feeling particularly generous, she delivers them to the bed overnight. Her family describe her as a little ray of sunshine. We can see exactly why.

Your cat is telling you how they feel all the time. Sometimes we just need to know what to look for 🐾

In this Reel, our Head Nurse Alice walks through the body language signs that show whether a cat is settled, unsure, or actively worried, with a little help from Samson, a lovely stray who came in to be neutered with us.

Ear position, paw placement, the way the tail sits. Small things that tell you so much about how a cat is feeling. Understanding these signals can make a real difference to how we handle, comfort, and care for cats, especially in unfamiliar environments like the vet clinic.

A gentle reminder: If your cat tends to feel nervous at the vet, or becomes anxious in new situations, please give us a call ahead of your appointment. We can talk through ways to make their visit as calm and comfortable as possible, from pre-visit preparation to gentle, low-stress handling on the day.

Save this Reel to come back to later, or share it with someone who’d love to understand their cat a little better.

This Adopt a Cat Month, The London Cat Clinic is encouraging anyone thinking about getting a cat to consider adoption first.

Every year, around 150,000 cats end up in UK shelters and rescue centres, while rescue organisations across the country continue to face overwhelming demand, rising costs, and limited space.

Despite this, charities and rescue teams work tirelessly every day to rescue vulnerable cats, provide medical care, arrange foster homes, and help match them with loving families.

Organisations like Protected Paws Animal Rescue Registered charity 1202369 , alongside countless other rescues across the UK, are giving cats a second chance at life.

If you’re thinking about bringing a cat into your home, adopting from a rescue charity can make a life-changing difference. Every adoption frees up space and resources for another cat in need.

And if adoption isn’t possible right now, fostering, donating, volunteering, or simply sharing rescue posts can still help support the incredible work these organisations do.

9 years ago, Dr Jeremy started The London Cat Clinic with one simple belief: cats deserve veterinary care built entirely around them. 🐾

A clinic where cats would receive the time, understanding, expertise and gentle handling they truly deserve.

In this special moment from our 9th birthday celebration, Dr Jeremy reflects on the journey so far and shares his gratitude for the incredible team, loyal clients, supporters, and of course the many wonderful cats who have helped shape TLCC over the years. 💚

Thank you for being part of the journey.
