BOMBED OUT
LONDON CAT FAMILY c WOMAN’S COMPASSION .«£s},• . u Every day for.nearly seven years Mrs Phyllis Mitchell, of Southwark, London, has left her third-floor flat and gone down to feed a family of bombed-out cats who rehoused themselves underneath the arches at the Elephant and Castle. It began in the early days of' the blitz when she took compassion on two cats who crept there to lick their wounds and shake the plaster out of their fur. But before long she found she was feeding a family of kittens, too. Since then the multiplication has gone on until today she has only to call “Minnid-Minnie” to be surrounded by more than a dozen halfwild animals of all shapes and sizes.
