Personally I love cats but they always run away or try and swipe me. Support animals are really important for mental health.

For 16 years, Defib the cat has been a beloved resident at Walthamstow ambulance station. Now, due to changes in local management at London Ambulance Service, he faces eviction. Rescued as a kitten by the staff, he's been a constant companion ever since. Staff are calling this decision an unnecessary act of cruelty, especially given his age and the growing acceptance of therapy animals in workplaces. They’re asking for support to allow Defib to live out his final years in the place he’s always known and loved.

Rest in peace Finn, you served us well and fought for what is right. run free brother.

It’s with pain and sadness that I am writing this post on behalf of Dave.

Our beautiful, brave, Hero Finn passed away peacefully in his sleep last night.

He was so loved by everyone and will be missed incredibly.

Dave will in time be back on social media but we hope that you can all respect our privacy over the next few days while we grieve.

Thank you for your service Finn, now go and Rest in peace our sweet boy, until we meet again 🐾

Phillip came to me today,
and said it was time to go.
I looked at him and smiled,
as i whispered that "I know"

I then turned and looked behind me,
and seen I was asleep.
All my Family were around me,
and I could hear them weep.

I gently touched each shoulder,
with Phillip by my side.
Then I turned away and walked,
with My Angel guide.

Phillip held my hand,
as he lead the way,
to a world where King's and Queens,
are Monarch's every day.

I was given a crown to wear
or a Halo known by some.
The difference is up here,
they are worn by everyone.

I felt a sense of peace,
my reign had seen its end.
70 years I had served my Country,
as the peoples friend.

Thank you for the years,
for all your time and love.
Now I am one of two again,
in our Palace up above.
