Rescued Animals in Need RAIN was born more than 45 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.

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.

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.

All our cats are neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, flea treated and wormed. We do ask for adoption fees, and we carry out home checks.

If you or anyone you know is looking to rehome a cat in our area please have a look at our page and/or contact us via the website www.rain.org.uk. Just complete the simple contact form on the website and we will be in touch with you.

JJ is a beautiful, 10 year old, soft-coated Tortie female. She is looking for an extra special INDOOR home.

She has been in our foster care for several weeks now, having come to us due to the declining health of her previous female owner.

JJ has found the change in her situation rather difficult. She became very sad and unhappy, refusing both food and human interaction. Her foster Mum has spent time sitting with her and talking to her, reassuring her and giving her lots of TLC. We are delighted that JJ is now doing so much better.

We are on the search for an extra special new home for JJ. Someone with time and patience who understands how traumatic she has found the last few months and is able to give her the space and love she needs to adapt and settle in.

JJ has met her foster Mum's cat but she wasn't keen on making friends, However, she has tolerated her dog. We therefore feel she would be best as an only cat but could possibly live in an indoor environment with a cat-friendly dog.

JJ really deserves another chance to be happy again in a forever home. Could you be the right person or family to give her the special home she needs?

If you think you could give JJ a home then please visit our website www.rain.org.uk and get in touch with us by completing our simple enquiry form.

Message from the RAIN rehoming team:

We take great care when rehoming our kittens. We speak to prospective new owners to ensure they fully understand the implications of having a new fur baby. We also check how close to main/busy roads you live.

Sadly, figures from PetPlan insurance company show that in the UK around 630 cats are killed every day on our roads. The average age of these cats is seven months to two years.

We do not have a 'policy' as some other charities to state we will not home a cat to you if you live directly on a road but we may suggest that you re-think your choice to adopt a young kitten.

We therefore ask you please to respect our view if we suggest maybe an older cat or a more 'street wise' kitty would be better suited in your home.

Often the kittens that have come into our care have not had the best of starts in life and we are completely committed to finding them the very best homes we can.

We understand that, regretfully, cats do sometimes pay with their lives for the freedom they have but we do our best to provide them with the safest environment possible.

We really hope you understand our position. Thank you.

We are currently receiving lots of enquiries for kittens, but at the moment we don't have any kittens available for homing.

Although cats can breed throughout the year, the main season for kittens begins around March (as the weather warms up!) with kittens ready for homing usually at the end of April.

We will start to keep a list of potential new homes around Easter time, so please get in touch with us at that time if you are specifically looking to welcome a kitten into your home.

If this situation changes we will let you know!

Many thanks.

Archie was rehomed a few weeks ago. He's a gorgeous boy who came into our care as he was a stray.

His new owner sent us a lovely photo and an update.

"Archie is doing brilliantly. He’s so chilled and seems really happy. He purrs continually and loves snuggles. He won’t let us pick him up, but that’s the only thing, and it’s not a big deal."

Kermit was homed as a kitten with his mum Kimmi at the end of September last year.
Their family have sent some lovely photos and an update.

"Kermit has only just gotten brave with going outside, he follows us in the garden like a dog and the children think it's brilliant, he even climbs the slide!

"Kimmi is so sweet and loveable as soon as the door is open she's off out stalking the birds, they are both loving life."
