Charities

Our aim is; “To Rescue and re home”, “STRAY”, “INJURED”, “SICK” or “UNWANTED” Cats and Kittens. “All” of our volunteers are “unpaid”. All our cats are neutered or spayed, vaccinated when appropriate, tested for FeLV & FIV and microchipped before homing. We are a small and completely independent charity and rely “ENTIRELY” on funds we raise ourselves and there is no denying it is hard work, we have stalls at car boot sales in the summer months, in spring and autumn we run Flea Markets which we organize ourselves. We usually have about 25 cats/kittens in our care. Our philosophy is to provide high quality care for a few cats rather than so so care for too many cats.

Last Chance Animal Rescue is a charity providing care and shelter for rescue dogs and cats until they find their forever homes. Many of our dogs and cats come to us in desperate need having been found as a stray, their owners may have passed away, or are unable to continue to look after them financially or take them to new accommodation, some of our dogs may have been rescued from the Welsh pound, these dogs will have found their way in to the pound, likely been used for breeding and cast aside when no longer a useful commodity, these dogs will be allocated a certain budget for their care by the local Welsh council, but once this money has been exhausted the dogs will likely be put down, we regularly travel to Wales, twice monthly, to save these dogs, many are just pups themselves, for these dogs especially, we are literally their Last Chance. We lovingly look after the animals in our centres, feed them and keep them comfy, offer them lots of company/walks and cuddles, plus a good few treats too! We health check all and provide any veterinary care needed, as well as vaccinating, administering flea and worming treatments and neutering, before the animals go to their new homes. The charity began in Edenbridge and has been helping animals since 1986, our New Romney centre was opened in 2015, we operate on a non destruct policy, meaning a lifeline for many of our residents, even if they are poorly, or old, or go home and need to come back again, for whatever reason, they are welcome at Last Chance for as long as they need us. We have many volunteer roles available, please contact us if you have any spare time! Edenbridge - (01732) 865530 Rescue Address: Hartfield Road, Edenbridge, Kent, TN8 5NH New Romney - 01797 366620 Rescue Address: Ashford Road, New Romney, TN28 8TH We love to hear from any would-be volunteers; cat cuddlers and/or dog walkers (over 18), any handy people for odd jobs around the rescues, volunteer drivers, home checkers (some areas we desperately need help to vet homes for our hopeful new adoptive families), gardening, general cleaning, helping with events, there is such a diverse range of things to do, an hour here and there, it doesn't have to be on a regular basis, but once you join our friendly team of volunteers you'll quickly realise how rewarding giving an hour of your time is! We are always grateful for donations of clean blankets, throws, towels, tea towels, flannels, used but clean duvets (not feather please - the dogs have a whale of a time!!). Duvets really help our sight hounds as extra comfy bedding and are also great for our animals recovering from surgery, donations of dog and cat food, we usually run very low on wet dog food (especially grain free for those dogs with sensitive tummies) and cat litter, we appreciate donated quality items for our charity shop. If you are interested in adopting a dog or cat, or may need our help in rehoming your animal please visit our website and make contact with us. If you'd like to help us in any way by donating, volunteering or would like to find out more, please pop in or give us a call , we'd be happy to chat further.
