OUR NEW 2024 BANNER STAR:
This lovely lady is Poppy, our new 2024 social media banner star!
We bid a fond farewell to the lovely Boris who graced our pages throughout 2023.
A 2024 NEW YEAR MESSAGE FROM RUTH AND ALLAN:
We hope all of our loyal supporters had a wonderful Christmas and we wish you a very happy New Year.
2023 has been the most challenging we have ever experienced. The sheer numbers of cats and kittens needing to be brought into care has been, and continues to be simply staggering, and has far outnumbered the enquiries from people wanting to offer cats and kittens a loving home.
The lack of neutering has been shocking, and in December 2023 we still had kittens waiting for loving homes.
We would like to thank everyone who has homed cats and kittens this year - without you our waiting list of cats desperate for help would be even longer.
We would also like to thank all those genuinely needing to rehome their cats, for their patience and understanding during what is an unprecedented and difficult time for us.
We hope that 2024 will be a better year for all of us, on two legs and on four.
With our very best wishes, Ruth and Allan x

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.
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.
Supporter Collection Keyrings & Fridge Magnets
We have 
created a gorgeous Supporter Collection of keyrings and fridge magnets. All of the cats featured belong to loyal supporters who have entered our calendar competitions.
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.
