For the past 15 years, there has been a furry resident at Walthamstow Ambulance Station who goes by the name Defib. This adorable cat has been a beloved member of the team, bringing joy and comfort to all who work there. However, recently, there was a threat of eviction looming over Defib's head.
The London Ambulance Service, under new management, had decided that it was time for Defib to find a new home. They cited concerns about his safety, as there had been a few close calls with ambulances. The station workers were heartbroken at the thought of losing their furry companion and decided to take action.
A petition was launched to save Defib, with the hope of showing the management just how much he meant to everyone at the station. And their efforts were not in vain, as over 60,000 people signed the petition, showing their support for the beloved cat. The decision was then made that Defib would be allowed to stay at Walthamstow Ambulance Station.
Daniel Elkeles, the Chief Executive of the London Ambulance Service, took note of the public's and staff's opinions and agreed that Defib should remain at the station. In a statement, he acknowledged that the cat had won the hearts of both the staff and the public and that he was an important part of the team.
Defib was originally rescued and brought to the station as a one-year-old kitten. Since then, he has been taken care of and fed by the paramedics, who have even created a schedule for giving him cuddles during the lockdown. The news of Defib's stay at the station was a huge relief to everyone there.
This was not the first time that the station had rallied behind Defib to save him from eviction. A few years ago, there was a similar attempt to move him elsewhere, but the staff managed to reach an agreement to keep him at the station, thanks in part to his therapeutic nature.
The person who started the petition, wishing to remain anonymous, expressed their joy and relief at the decision. They emphasized that Defib was a part of the team, regardless of him being a cat, and that it was an honor to have him there. The overwhelming support for the petition was a testament to just how much Defib was loved by all.
In the bustling city of London, it's not every day that a cat becomes a beloved member of a team at an ambulance station. But for 15 years, Defib has been just that. And thanks to the unwavering love and support of the staff and the public, he will continue to bring joy and comfort to all who cross his path.
