Welcome to our web site
We are Paws and Claws Animal Rescue Service a small cat rescue charity, founded in 1977. We cover the Mid- Sussex area. Apart from four paid staff, necessary to run our rescue centre, all our helpers and fund raisers do so on a purely voluntary basis.
- devoted to rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing lost and abandoned cats
- encouraging spaying & neutering to avoid unwanted kittens
- helping with vet’s fees in cases of genuine hardship
- providing quarters for old and difficult to home cats
NO CAT IS EVER PUT TO SLEEP EXCEPT ON VETERINARY ADVICE

WOULD YOU CONSIDER SPONSORING ONE OR MORE CATS?
At Paws & Claws we have a heart for the older cat and can show a good success rate of placing these ‘senior citizens’ in an appropriate home where they will receive that extra special care and love they deserve.
The Pavilion is our flagship project where cats not suitable for immediate rehoming may live out their lives receiving the care they need. We are one of the few charities providing this type of care. You can see all the resident Pavilion cats in the Sponsorship section and some appear on our Homing page.
If you are unable to re-home an older cat why not think about sponsoring? You can sponsor an individual cat or the whole group with a once a year payment or by monthly standing order. You will receive a certificate and a quarterly news sheet. You can visit them at our Annual Open Day every July.
As always with Paws & Claws all monies received go directly for the cats’ benefit. The volunteers who run our charity work tirelessly for their welfare and take no expenses.
