Spike the cat has been a devoted and faithful friend to terminally ill patients at St Catherine’s hospice in Crawley since 2012. However, Spike’s presence is now under threat (with the health and safety of patients cited as a reason).

Hospice visitors, staff and patients all care dearly for Spike. She has spent a lot of time over the last 7 years sitting with patients and many find her a great comfort. Likewise, patients’ families and friends welcome Spike’s unconditional affection at a very traumatic time in their lives.

Please take the time to sign this petition to support Spike’s continued presence at St Catherine’s. Thank you.
