This Underground Station Now Has Photos Of Rescue Cats Instead Of Ads

Imagine going to the train station and instead of seeing advertisements all over the wall, you see cats! That is exactly what happened in the Clapham Common station in South London! For the next two weeks, passengers will have kitties greet them as they walk around the station.


James Turner, the founder of Glimpse, said that 68 tube advertisements were replaced with pictures of cats. The cats are featured in different sizes, colors, and shapes.

The people behind the new look at the station are the Citizens Advertising Takeover Service (CATs). They claim this isn’t any sort of marketing stunt.

The volunteers raised money for the project and wanted to inspire people to think about the world in a different way with the help of the Kickstarter campaign.

The hope is that people realize they have the power to change the world. In a press release, Turner said they imagined the world where a public space made you feel good, and they wanted to include something that everyone would love – cats were the answer!

The cats do make the station look more friendly and fun. What is better is that all the cats pictured are rescues from Cats Protection or from Battersea.

All of the pictured cats are up for adoption. Cats Protection’s vision is to have a world where all cats are treated with understanding and kindness.

Battersea has been working since 1860 rehoming cat and dogs. So far, the organization has rehomed over 3.1 million dogs and cats.

SIGN NOW! BAN THE SALE OF CRUEL ‘LIVE ANIMAL’ KEYCHAINS

>>> Sign the petition now to tell China to ban live animal keychains! <<< Turtles, fish and lizards are being stuffed and sealed into plastic bags and sold on the streets as keychains in China. The cost of these animals lives? About $1.50. Swimming in a small pool of colored water, the animals only last until the oxygen is used up. Then, they can theoretically be released and kept as pets – although it’s doubtful that the same people who think an animal makes a nifty trinket have the slightest clue about how to properly care for them. In an interview with CNN, David Neale, animal welfare director of Animals Asia said, “Lack of food and diminishing oxygen concentrations within both the water and the small amount of air in these plastic pouches will cause the animals to die in a relatively short period of time after the pouches are sealed.” 😠So Cruel😠 ACTUAL REAL LIVE ANIMALS are being sealed into tiny plastic pouches and sold as f**king ke...

Tesco: Ditch palm oil in your own-brand products!

>>>SIGN PETITION HERE<<< My name is Oscar, I’m 15 and I want to do everything I can to protect our environment .  I was really upset and angry when I found out about the huge deforestation that is involved in the palm oil industry,  and that’s why I’m calling on Tesco to ditch palm oil from their own-brand products. Iceland has already banned palm oil from their own brand products, so we know that this is possible for Tesco too. As the largest supermarket in the UK (and using over 40,000 tonnes of palm oil every year!), Tesco has an opportunity to set an example to other supermarkets and food producers that  destroying swathes of forests for palm oil is not acceptable. I run a online cause called ‘Justice4Earth’ ( @justice4earth  on Instagram and  @justice4earth  on Twitter) where I raise awareness about environmental issues. I found out that palm oil is literally everywhere: from shampoos, toothpastes and detergen...

The cat’s reaction is heartbreaking after their dog died of cancer 2 weeks ago

The strong bond between cats and dogs amaze me more and more each day, they are best friends, it’s not true that there is enmity between them, it’s completely wrong, and this story proved it. This dog is living with the cat in the same home, sadly, the dog was very sick, so his owner took him to the vet. The vet diagnosed the dog with cancer, from this moment, the countdown of his living days had just started. Charlie the dog is very loved, from the first day that Scout the kitty had come home, the bond started instantly, she couldn’t sleep unless she nestled up to Charlie. They became very close friends, Scout the cat wanted to be around him all the time, play all the time, and have unlimited fun, they were best buddies. And as for Charlie, he was very gentle with his new friend, he tried to make her happy and let her do anything she wants. Wherever Charlie went, she was right away with him, following him wherever he went to, or wherever he was going, Scout the cat was his shadow....
