Charity number 800145 Rescued Animals in Need Registered charity number 800145

Who Are We? Rescued Animals in Need is made up of a group of hard working volunteers in the Sevenoaks area. Our main aim is to rescue, rehabilitate and then RE-HOME cats and kittens, and to provide any help that is needed in terms of general care and veterinary treatment. Please note we work with cats and kittens only.

We don't have our own premises as we are a small, volunteer led charity. We use a boarding cattery for our rescued animals and for this reason we are limited at any one time as to how many animals we can manage. We can only assist with re-homeable cats and kittens. What Area Does RAIN Cover? Although only a small charity, Rescued Animals in Need covers a wide area south-east of London and includes: Bromley and surrounds, Orpington area, Sevenoaks, Edenbridge, Tonbridge, West Malling, Kings Hill, Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone, Westerham and surrounds, Biggin Hill and surrounds. MAKING CONTACT with RAIN

Please contact us by email ensuring you give your FULL address including postcode and all relevant details relating to your enquiry



When Animals are Rescued by RAIN

As soon as animals come into RAIN's care they are taken to a Veterinary Surgeon where they receive any necessary attention. All animals are vaccinated and neutered, if this has not already been done, and are routinely treated for worms and fleas. On veterinary advice, any cats felt to be at risk are blood-tested for certain diseases. Animals are then settled into the boarding cattery that RAIN uses and cared for whilst a permanent home is sought for them. Homes are sought for the animals through advertising, in local papers and through this website. A Brief History

Rescued Animals in Need was born nearly forty years ago when a group of ladies in the Green Street Green area of Kent decided to do something to help local animals in need. With a good deal of hard work and dedication, they became a Registered Charity in 1986



How Animals Come to RAIN

Animals find their way to RAIN for all kinds of reasons. They are found straying; are left behind at the vets after an accident; are either left in a house or locked out of it when people move away; need new homes when elderly people die or move into residential care; or are unwanted due to changes in family circumstances. As RAIN does not have its own Sanctuary a boarding cattery is used. For this reason RAIN can only deal with limited numbers of cats and kittens at any one time and can only take in animals that are re-homeable. Our Neutering Programme

Unfortunately there are enormous numbers of unwanted cats in this country at the moment, despite the best efforts of Animal Welfare Organisations. RAIN therefore neuters all cats before re-homing. The mothers, and if possible fathers, of all kittens taken in for re-homing are also neutered. Reduced cost neutering is also available in cases of need and RAIN has assisted in the neutering of large numbers of cats within problem areas. In one instance this involved a colony of more than seventy cats. Do you need help with neutering your pet ? If you are struggling with neutering costs for your cat or dog RAIN can help. Please contact us. Our Foster carers

Foster families help in different ways either with kittens or mothers and kittens. Rain's Links to the Community and Other Agencies

RAIN works with local agencies when necessary. For example, social workers and mental health teams and housing associations, in addition to national and local animal welfare organisations. Talks about the work of the charity are sometimes given to local groups or clubs.

🚨 REMINDER: 🚨

In England, from 10 June 2024, it will be compulsory to have your cat microchipped from 20 weeks of age!

The new rules mean cats must be implanted with a microchip before they reach the age of 20 weeks and their contact details stored and kept up to date in a pet microchipping database.

It is the owners responsibility to have their cat microchipped by 10 June 2024 and owners found not to have microchipped their cat will have 21 days to have one implanted, or may face a fine of up to £500.

There are over 9 million pet cats in England, with as many as 2.3 million unchipped, meaning that it would be very difficult to reunite them with their owner if they get lost or stolen.
