*** The area we cover ***

Please be aware that we are a small locally based charity and, however much we would like to, we cannot practically assist in homing cats outside of the Mid-Sussex area and a reasonable distance beyond.

*** Rescue Centre closed ***

Our Rescue Centre is closed to visitors until further notice.

Please do not telephone there with homing queries as we do not have staff available to deal with them.

For all enquiries concerning adopting a cat please telephone Val on 01903 244478 and leave a message if she is not available.

From Monday 21st November - Saturday 24th December

Life in the Pavilion

For those, who don't know, the Pavilion is our special facility for long-term resident cats - those that are not easily rehomed.

We try and find suitable homes for all the cats that pass into our care but sometimes it just isn't possible.

However many cats have left the Pavilion to go to new homes, it has just taken a little time for the right person to come forward.

In the meantime they can live out their lives with us, receiving all the care and attention they need, so long as they have good quality of life, in our vet's opinion.

You learn about our resident cats here.

You can help support the Pavilion by becoming a Sponsor or by making a one-off donation below.
