Gill Galliano, director of neighbourhood development for Lewisham Primary Care Trust, said: “Each patient has been allocated a budget which can be spent on items which will improve their wellbeing so they do not require unplanned hospital stays. Purchasing a pet is one option.”

A couple weeks later, the CHP customer got around to sealing the package and calling FedEx to have them pick it up. The truck showed up at about 5 p.m. on Monday, and the cats began their odyssey.
After their 43 hour adventure, the kittens arrived hungry but otherwise healthy and were soon feeding with a surrogate mother.
