ROLVENDEN CAT RESCUE
A small independent charity whose focus of activities is to rescue abandoned, stray and unwanted cats within the surrounding area of Kent and East Sussex. We ensure that the cats in our care are kept in comfort and good health until they are suitably rehomed. We neuter all cats and advise and inform the public with regard to the benefits of neutering.
