Celia hammond truelly stepped in when all other charities including the big ones turned a blind eye to my cat who had been hit by a car, They worked tirelessly calling everywhere but not a single organisation would help... Despite being a charity also struggling to raise funds they then stepped in when no one else would for my cat Sox, they agreed thanks to Celia to fund what was needed and give me time to fund any surgury, this included x rays blood tests pain relief interpretation of xrays potential transport of patient to other branch out of hours visit by nurse for top up medication to name just a few things she needed Sox had a fractured pelvis meaning surgury was an absolute must they where happy to give me time being so kind compassionate and understanding of my situation to try and do this despite how hard they may find getting funds to support all the animals just like my sox! Then a Celia Hammond Supporter and myself had a conversation before I knew it thanks to such amazing people sox has surgury in the next few days to correct her fractured pelvis...!! I will be eternally greatful for the intervention celia Hammond did... Putting the whole of the rest of London in pure shame for their encouraging an animal to suffer without treatment proof of eligibility or even payment plan offer yet celia Hammond in true form showed the rest of London what it means to truelly show an animal care compassion and fight for them the way these other charities claim they do, cannot imagine where we'd be without their support honestly so please where able please do donate because it directly helps cats like my Sox actually have a chance... Thanks to their Lewisham branch for diagnostics and their canning Town branch for the surgury Celia herself for her truelly inspirational continued fight for my sox and all other animals in need... We are forever greatful to you all as an organisation doing your very best for those of us left with no hope Equally they can only do this with donations so please if you are in a position to however large or small please please consider donating read more

Celia Hammond Animal Trust - She has a fractured pelvis requiring metal plates and pins - Veterinarians Near Me - London, XGL

See all

I am beyond disappointed by the way I was treated. I walked in on Monday morning, already distressed because my cat had been in a car accident, desperately looking for help and guidance. Instead of compassion, I was met with shocking rudeness from the brunette woman at reception. She immediately told me she couldn't help me because I'm not on benefits. Then, rather than offering any support, she began commenting on my age -- I'm 17 -- and said I shouldn't be responsible for a pet and that I was being irresponsible. I came in seeking help for an injured animal, and instead I was judged and spoken down to. What makes this even more upsetting is that when my mom later spoke to the same staff member, she claimed that they help everyone -- not just people on benefits. The complete contradiction and the way I was treated differently is incredibly concerning. No one asking for help with an injured pet should be met with judgment or dismissiveness, especially not a young person trying to do the responsible thing. The lack of empathy and professionalism was honestly heartbreaking during an already stressful situation. read more

This amazing trust has just organised help for my friends cat. They have gone above and beyond to help her

All I can say is thank you very much Celia for starting this charity. It has helped restore my faith in humanity. Her charity is mainly focused on cats and dogs, and especially rehoming stray cats. It is a vet aimed at helping those on low income or benefits, just anyone who cannot pay the extortionate vet bills that private vets charge. I am a rabbit owner and my mini-lop "Blueberry" broke her leg last year. I took her to the local Pets at Home vet called "Companion Care" and they were the worst type of people you could ever meet. They told me that the leg could not be fixed and must be amputated without so much as an X-Ray! This is on top of their initial demand that we pay them £500 for surgery! I was not convinced by the vet who spoke to me on the phone at Pets at Home, and so I looked around my area for another vet and found CHAT. I called them up, explained my situation and gave them the details of the current vet. The vet from CHAT called me up the same day, told me I should bring the bunny over to them, and then their vet called me on the phone and explained to me in detail what choices I have after examining my bunny, and it was very detailed and an informed discussion. Blueberry got through surgery, had a pin put in, and is now recovered. I have been back a few times to neuter my other rabbits, and to bring my thanks in the form of baking a cake for their staff. Their vets really do care about animals from the heart, and they are not here for profit (yes they are a charity!!) They do charge for their services but the cost is considerably lower than private vets. I have met Celia herself and she is an old but seriously dedicated lady. I have been to the charity as late as 11pm and there are still a lot of staff working here taking care of animals. I have been doing 10k runs to raise funds for CHAT and if your pets need help and you can't afford private vet care, your pet cannot be in better hands than Celia's charity. read more

A truly inspiring place, led by a truly inspiring woman! Celia Hammond's rescue centres do fantastic work with abandoned and rescued cats from all over London and for those looking to adopt a pet, the trust is an excellent port of call. I recently adopted two cats from the Canning Town branch, and our new pets were vaccinated and handed over by Celia herself. I was amazed by how hands-on she is with the animals, and is clearly hugely dedicated to her work. The cats were treated with huge amounts of love and care before being given to us, and had had all the appropriate treatments carried out. I only wish I could have taken more! :( read more

I would like to thank to everyone at Celia Hammond for taking care of our beloved Bonnie. She passed away two months ago at the age of 21. She had chronic kidney disease, I was informed that it's common for elderly cats and it was only a matter of time. They took great care of Bonnie and would go extra lengths to ensure she was getting the best treatment. Celia Hammond goes above and beyond in taking care of our beloved animals. read more

This is an excellent charity - it's the responsibility of the rest of us to make sure they are not overloaded with these beautiful animals - unbelievable the things we humans do to them! I give regularly to them ... not a fortune ... but a regular sum every month and the more people who do the same the more they can keep their heads above water. Taking in stray cats, dogs or whatever pet should be such an unusual event and homes would therefore be found for the few unfortunate animals thus affording them the life they more than deserve. The programme was hard to watch and being such an admirer and lover of animals i would normally not watch for the sake of my own sanity! BUT i did force myself to watch ... what brave souls they all are to day after day give their time in this way .... I salute them for the hard/good work they do! Lin H read more

Receptionists are rude, truly do not care and their explanation is-"we are busy", yes we all are busy in this world. You call for medication on Monday and few tablets are ready on Tuesday in a week. You want to adopt a cat? Despite the fact they have plenty in cages in there make sure you are patient because you will be waiting for months or be refused under some silly excuse because their policy is"a cat is always better in a cage, not in a nice home with family".

Absolutely the most loveliest people with the biggest hearts!!! All they want to do is help your animal not rip you off - I can not thank these people enough....you made me believe in people again. read more

celia hammonds is situated on the ever so busy barking road, canning town. Public transport- Nearest train station-canning town(10minutes walk) Buses- Many buses pass through here and you can catch a bus from loads of places. Celia hammonds a bit of history- Celia hammond was a model in the 1960's she later became concerned about the cruelty of the fur trade and took a stand against fur. In 1986 she founded the celia hammond animal trust which she wanted to open up as a low cost neuturing clinic. In 1999 this(canning town) was the third neuturing clinic she opened and now she takes in stray animals,rescues and rehomes the animals. In 2006 there was news of celia hammond owing thousands of pounds to newham council over unpaid parking fines as she was parking on double yellow lines outside of the shop to get sick animals quickly into her shop to get tretment. What celia hammonds trust does- Treat animals that have been kicked out of their homes, treated badly and for those animals that need to be neutured or for those who have an accident. This place does an excellent job for these sick animals and if it was to go t would be sadly missed. This shop also holds alot of sick animals which need new homes. This is a fantastic place and it needs more money to be given to it, to continue oing the fantastic job it does. I have realised since this happened in 2006 this celia hammonds doesnt do as much as they used to do to help if your pet is sick. read more

After my phone call to celia Hammond I felt I had to say something regarding her policies,my dog needs urgent treatment and was refused because I wouldn't agree to have him nurtured,I explained that he is 10yrs old and has never been mated and never will,for someone who is suppose to be a animal lover I find this alarming. read more

hi whilst im sure this is a praiseworthy effort it should be made clear that they only treat animals if you have them castrated or neutered, i didnt want to do this to a ten year old dog with cancer, i felt he had enough going on so wasnt able to access treatment for a cut paw. read more

I would like to thank the wonderful dedicated vets and reception staff at Celia Hammond Canning Town for the treatment of our beloved Westie Basil. Basil became very ill and found it hard to breathe so we took him to our local vets on Friday 5th August, Vet wanted to keep him in for the weekend to take x rays and blood tests, when she told us the price £800 plus and that was before price of any medication and she said the outcome was not good, we just did not know what to do, we had nothing like the amount asked for so vet rang Celia Hammond and they took in our Basil, anyway after x rays and blood test the vet gave us the results on the Sunday that he had a growth on his heart and an obstruction on his throat, anyway it was decided to put him to sleep that evening and i can honestly say it broke our hearts, the vet was amazing he let me hold my gorgeous loyal Basil until his last breath, i felt better for knowing he was in the best place given the dignity he was given and the support given to myself and my family who were present, Thank you Celia Hammond, you are an inspiration, and Thank you to all the vets and receptionists .
