Come and see our rescued cats at our Weekend Open Days!

What better way to spend a few hours than meeting some of our adorable rescued cats and kittens?

Two of our centres are open to potential adopters every weekend – so if you are interested in welcoming a new pet (or two) into your home, please do come and see us!

Our friendly and knowledgeable staff and volunteers will be on hand to talk you through the adoption process, and introduce you to some of our lovely cats and kittens!

We have all sorts of cats needing homes – from pairs of kittens to elderly cats; cats needing homes with gardens and cats suitable for indoor-only homes; single cats, pairs or trios; and (not forgetting) feral and semi-feral cats who are seeking suitable outdoor homes.

With kitten season well and truly underway, we are also caring for lots of young mothers and their newborn litters, who have been rescued from gardens, under decking, in sheds, and even hiding under rubble. They are being given lots of attention by the staff and volunteers at our centres and foster homes to get them used to human contact, and many mothers and kittens are ready to be welcomed into their forever homes right now.

All of our cats are neutered, vaccinated and microchipped, and undergo a complete health check before being homed – so you can adopt from us with full peace of mind.

The hundreds of cats and kittens waiting for new homes at our rescue centres come from all walks of life, and are a real mix of ages, looks and personalities. The one thing that they have in common, however, is that they all really deserve the chance to live a happy life in a home of their own.

Our Open Days are held at:

Greenacres Rehoming Centre & Sanctuary (Stubb Lane, Brede, Near Hastings, TN31 6BT) - open Saturday and Sunday, from 1pm- 5pm

Lewisham Rescue Centre (233-235 Lewisham Way, London, SE4 1UY) - open Saturday and Sunday, from 1pm-5pm

Canning Town Branch (151-153 Barking Road, London E16 4HQ) - Open Saturdays 1-5p.m.

The Importance of Vaccinations...

Puppy sick with Parvo virus infection is dumped at train station - Please vaccinate your dog!

This puppy was rescued on a Saturday night by someone who found her lying on the ground at Canning Town train station.

They took her home for the weekend, but it was clear that she was very unwell and didn't want to eat, had bloody diarrhea and was weak and lethargic.

On Monday morning they brought her to Canning Town clinic for help.

One of our vets examined her and was concerned that she had Parvo virus, a test confirmed this diagnosis. She was immediately placed on a drip and admitted to the clinic where she was cared for in isolation. Thankfully she went on to make a full recovery.

Parvo virus is a nasty virus which is most common in puppies because their immune systems are less well developed. The virus is highly contagious and can survive in the environment for months.

It is very important to vaccinate puppies before they come in contact with other dogs or are allowed to exercise in public places such as parks. There are currently cases of Parvo virus in both East and South London. The virus can also easily be carried in to your home on your shoes and we recommend that anyone with a puppy or dog that is not vaccinated at least removes their shoes when entering their home to reduce the risk.

Symptoms of Parvo virus infection are vomiting, bloody, foul smelling diarrhea, lethargy and loss of appetite. A puppy infected with Parvo virus has about a 50% chance of surviving provided it receives prompt veterinary attention. If the puppy survives the first 3-4 days of treatment the chances of recovery are good.

It is very important to vaccinate your puppy against Parvo virus. Puppies require a course of vaccinations ideally at 8 weeks and again at 12 weeks. Dogs then require an annual booster vaccination to maintain immunity. If you are struggling to afford to vaccinate your dog, please contact either of our London veterinary clinics which both offer low cost vaccinations.
