Beloved Ambulance Cat Defib Saved from Eviction After Public Outcry

A petition with over 60,000 signatures and support from notable figures has allowed Defib to remain at the Walthamstow Ambulance Station.

Defib, a cat who has lived at Walthamstow Ambulance Station for 16 years, faced eviction due to safety and allergy concerns.
The London Ambulance Service initially sought to rehome Defib, citing his slow reactions and near misses with ambulances.
A petition launched by station staff to keep Defib amassed over 62,000 signatures, garnering widespread public support.
Local MP Stella Creasy and other high-profile figures advocated for Defib, highlighting his role in boosting staff morale.
London Ambulance Service reversed its decision, allowing Defib to stay, acknowledging his importance to both staff and the public.
