We are a local independently funded charity, operating under the umbrella of the National RSPCA, dedicated to improving the lives of both animals and people in our community. It costs £250k annually to stay open and service our community.

At our Ashford Garden Cattery, we rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome cats that have been abandoned, injured, neglected, or surrendered during times of crisis. Every cat that comes through our doors receives veterinary treatment, care, and socialisation before being matched with a loving local forever home. Since opening in 2006, we have proudly rehomed over 5,000 cats and continue to support between 200–300 cats each year.

Through regular school visits and community talks, we inspire the next generation to grow up with empathy, kindness, and responsibility towards animals.

Our work goes far beyond rescue. We run a grant funded weekly Pet Food Bank, a vital service that allows families in financial hardship to keep their beloved pets at home, supporting both human and animal wellbeing. We also issue grant funded vet treatment and neutering vouchers to low income families that prevent suffering and unwanted litters, and we contribute to the care of injured local wildlife.

As a self-funded RSPCA branch, we have to find every penny ourselves. Each cat pod costs around £200 per week to run, and it costs approximately £5,000 every week to keep our services operating for the community. With rising veterinary bills, utilities, day-to-day costs, combined with the loss of some key funding sources, the support of our local community is more important than ever to enable our services to continue operating.
