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.

Discarded Dog Was Waiting To Die, Then She Found A Reason To Live

There are no green acres for retired hunting dogs in Ireland. No master's voice calling them home for good. No curling up by the fire to warm those world-weary bones. When she outlived her usefulness in the field, all Merci could expect was a place to curl up and die. The 10-year-old sighthound, also known as a lurcher, found just that in a farmer's shed. Then, unexpectedly, she found mercy. Someone spotted the ailing animal and got in touch with Gina Hetherington, founder of PAWS Animal Rescue Ireland . When they found her, Merci's body was in terrible condition. She was given a medical score of "1," the lowest a dog can get and still breathe — meaning, according to the Veterinary Medicine Center at Ohio State University , there's "no visible body fat" with ribs, pelvic bones and vertebrae "evident from a distance." In a word, she was emaciated. "The fleas were literally crawling off her he...

She Visited A Chained Dog Every Day Until The Dog Disappeared. But That Led To Something Amazing.

Jes is a member of PETA, and she feels incredibly strongly about the animals in her life. For years, one such animal was a dog named Edith. Jes saw Edith chained up day after day, so she started visiting the poor dog. She would bring the loving pooch treats, food, water, and once she even brought a doghouse to the trapped dog. Then, one day Edith’s family moved and took the dog with them. PETA spent a lot of time and energy tracking Edith down, and in March of 2016 her owner’s officially gave Edith to PETA because they were moving once again. This is an incredible and touching story, and if you check out the video below you can watch it all in close detail, and I’m sure that you’ll fall in love with Edith just the way that Jes did. Take a look! Now Edith and Jes are reunited and the two of them couldn’t possibly be happier! Share away, people!

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...
