ABOUT US.

 

Established as an independent charity in 1962, our branch cares for animals in need throughout East Kent. 

 

As a rehoming centre, we often see an intake of at-risk animals in need of loving homes.

 

 

Caring for animals for over 60 years.

In 1962, a new rehoming centre was built to help to accommodate and rehabilitate the many animals needing care, support and new homes. Currently a cattery and small animal rehoming centre, the branch covers a large area from Dover, Canterbury and the Isle of Sheppey.

 

Once a very small team of staff and volunteers, we have welcomed an amazing and dedicated group of people over the years. We hope to inspire generations to come, it all starts with education and the willingness to accept advice. Animal welfare has improved greatly after decades, however, there is still a long way to go. We aim to be a part of that change for many more animals to come.

Together, we can make a difference.

RSPCA Canterbury and District is an independent branch under the distinguished RSPCA name. The main focus of our local charity is to aid animals in the local community with recovery, rehabilitation and rehoming. With the support of our community, we can provide more aid to those in need.

  • SUCCESS STORY.

    Poor Rio was found abandoned in an airport car park and taken into safety before being transferred into our care. After a little TLC, Rio was successfully adopted and can stretch our his legs! Rio's former foster family came to his rescue as they welcomed him temporarily into their home until the big day arrived. It can be challenging for many cats to cope in a cattery environment. They can't have the constant free access they desire, the noises from people and other cats alike can be difficult to cope with. For Rio, and many more cats, it was important to see the type of home he needed. Foster families truly are the best!
