About Cat & Rabbit Rescue Centre

The Cat & Rabbit Rescue Centre was founded in 1986 to Rescue and Rehome Cats, Rabbits and Guinea Pigs. We have helped over 25,000 animals and rehome about 1,000 a year.

The Cat and Rabbit Rescue Centre is an independent charity based in Sidlesham, who are dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitation and re-homing cats, kittens, rabbits and guinea pigs. Our ethos is never to put a healthy animal to sleep and to continue to search for a suitable, loving forever home. Animals that are not adopted stay with us for the rest of their lives. We never put a healthy animal to sleep. We also have an active fostering scheme, help with neutering costs, deal with feral colonies and work to educate the public to be good, sensible and loving pet owners.
