A big thank you to Pets at Home Burgess Hill
We are grateful for all their help and support during the Pets Foundation Easter Appeal. Plus a big thank you to all of you who donated to help our cause.
We are Paws & Claws Animal Rescue Service a small cat rescue charity, founded in 1977 covering the Mid Sussex area. We have many lovely cats looking for adoption who would love a new home.
We hold many fundraising events during the year and attend many others throughout the Sussex area.
Jude
This lovely four year old boy is good-natured but also quite independent so we are looking for a home where there are no young children or other pets.
Paws & Claws Book Fair

Cats of Courage
A compilation of 23 heartwarming stories of our bravest cats who have faced great adversity with great courage. Available from our online shop.
Microchipping your pet
Since the 10 June 2024 it has been a legal requirement to have your cat microchipped or you could face a £500 fine.
The new law applies to both indoor and outdoor cats but not to farm or ferals with little or no interaction with people.
We ensure that all cats that leave our Rescue Centre have been microchipped.
Homes with young Children
Some of our cats and kittens have been rescued from difficult circumstances and from our long experience we believe that they will fare best in new homes where there are NO CHILDREN UNDER 5 YEARS.
Life in the Pavilion
For those, who don't know, the Pavilion is our special facility for long-term resident cats - those that are not easily rehomed.
We try and find suitable homes for all the cats that pass into our care but sometimes it just isn't possible.
However many cats have left the Pavilion to go to new homes, it has just taken a little time for the right person to come forward.
In the meantime they can live out their lives with us, receiving all the care and attention they need, so long as they have good quality of life, in our vet's opinion.
You learn about our resident cats here.
You can help support the Pavilion by becoming a Sponsor or by making a one-off donation below.
