We have just been notified that Defib the cat will be allowed to live out the rest of his days at his ambulance station home!!!

We couldn't have done it without the incredible support of the public. Thank you all so much for turning this into international news and helping us secure over 60,000 signatures!

My university had Security Cat. He was found outside a hall of residence as a kitten and the security supervisor just never got around to calling the RSPCA. He lived in the security hut for around 20 years. In his last year or so he started going blind and couldn't get to his usual perches. He was having issues with diarrhoea, and some of the security guys tried to have him evicted. Just a heads up you may want a plan for Defib's old age if his health starts failing, especially if he's usually around moving vehicles.

Please tell me this had a happy ending.

He stayed until he passed, and got buried by the hut outside the Warden room, where I tripped over his little cross before every fire drill.
