STRAY CATS & THE "DISNEY" MYTH

Every year we take in a great many cats from the streets, in terrible condition and known to have been homeless - in many cases for years. Click here to read about Eagle and Curtis, just two of these cats, and the reality of life of the streets for cats like them.

 VOLUNTEER MORNING CLEANERS NEEDED:

We need cat loving volunteers to clean our cat units.

This is an essential part of the day to day running of our centre, and an important role.
If you can regularly donate 3 to 4 hours of your time for 1 to 2 mornings per week, we would love to hear from you.
You will need to be over 18 years of age and physically fit, as there will be plenty of bending and kneeling required.
You can contact us by phone on 01580 241632, by email at enquiries.rolvendencats@yahoo.com or via Facebook messenger.

Thank you, Ruth and Allan xxx

CATS GOING MISSING

Every year we receive numerous reports of cats going missing across Kent, sometimes many from the same street.  We urge all cat owners to please be vigilant and keep your cats safe.

Sadly, cats are rarely stolen for benign reasons and these kind of reports are extremely worrying. We never want to be alarmist, but as a rescue we feel we have a duty to make sure owners are awarethat this is happening.

Our comprehensive Indoor Life information leaflet is available from our centre or by email should owners wish to consider this option.

RCR Keyrings & Fridge Magnets

We have some lovely keyrings and fridge magnets. Some of the cats featured belong to loyal supporters who have entered our calendar competitions, and others are cats that have been in our care, andhave moved on to loving new homes.

They are available to purchase from our online shop at a great low price and all proceeds are for the cats.

YOUR DONATIONS & HOW WE USE THEM

Each week we receive donations from our supporters and members of the public, whether regular or one-off, for which we are so grateful.

As a purely voluntary charity, donations are our lifeblood and provide a number of essentials.

Your money goes towards food, neutering, flea treatments, worming treatments, drugs to treat ongoing conditions, dental treatments and emergency care.

The many donations we receive of food, blankets, toys and other feline equipment provide comfort, warmth, sustenance and play which are vital elements of any cat or kitten’s stay with us.

Your kindness and support means that we can continue to help the many cats in need of us and find safe and loving homes for them.
