Looking After the Animals in Kent
Cats
Can You Offer a Cat a New Loving Home
Rspca Medway West Branch opened its first cattery in March 2004.
Within the first year we managed to find 200+ cats new loving home.
If you could offer a cat a home please contact
Penny on 01634 294831
to arrange an appointment to view.
Cattery Based in Strood, Kent.
Due to people cancelling cheques, all donations for re-homing must be cash only.
Donations
Due to Increasing Cost of Vaccinations and Veterinary Treatment Our
Minimum Donation is Now
£70 for a cat 7months and over
£75 for a kitten under 7 months
£35 for a cat 10 years old +
Payment
By Cash Only
Due to the amount of cheques that have been returned to us unpaid, we now ask for the donation in cash only.
All cats that are adopted have had at least their 1st vaccination (2nd if they have been with us more than 3 weeks), been microchipped, neutered or come back to us for neutering at the appropriate age, wormed and de-flead. If the cat has only had it's first vaccination when adopted, it is the responsibility of the adoptor to get the 2nd vaccination done at their own vets.
If you compare this to the price you could pay at a private vet
| Neutering | £50 - £70 |
| 1st Vaccination | £25 - £40 |
| Microchip | £20 - £30 |
| Flea Treatment (per month) | £5 - £10 |
| Worming (per month) | £3 - £5 |
Of course this doesn't take into account a lot of cats coming into us either are injured or sick and can run up large vet bills. Also the food, litter and general costs of caring for a cat.

Based in Strood,
Name: - Joey & Phoebe
Sex:- Male & Female
Age: - Sept 2011
Breed:- Domestic Short Hair
Colour:- Tabby & White
Temperament:- Joey - Friendly and outgoing
Phoebe - Shy & Nervous
Vaccinations:- Fully Vaccinated
Neutered:- Yes
ID Chipped:- Yes
Good with Children:- Yes
History:- Removed from a multi cat household when cats were being neglected.
Suitable Home:- It's been very hard for us to find this pair a home, we could of homed Joey a dozen times but people aren't willing to take on his sister as she is nervous and hides away. The problem is they are extremely close and when we have tried to separate them they pine for one another. They have been in a foster home and got use to other cats, dogs and been around children, Phoebe will come to people for food and the odd stroke and happy to play with her brother in front of people but not confident enough to let people approach her or for her to sit with them. These are our longest residents, they had a very bad start to their lives and need that loving understanding home.

Kittens
RSPCA Medway West Branch occassionally have kittens looking for new homes.
Before thinking about taking a kitten from us please read the information below.
Kittens are like children and need company, they do not like being left alone and will become destructive if left alone too long. If you are working we suggest you take two kittens so they can keep one another company or if you have an existing cat so the kitten doesnt get lonely.
At 6 months old the kitten(s) will need to come back to our clinic at 174 Walderslade Road, Chatham, Kent to be neutered (this is included in the donation fee) on a Tuesday. The Cat will need to be at the clinic between 8.30am 9am (no later) and will need to be collected between 1pm 1.30pm. If you refuse to get the kitten neutered or a female kitten gets pregnant you will be in breach of the adoption contract and we will remove your adopted cat and any kittens that it may have from your care.
We ask for a donation of £75 for kittens under 6 months old, they will have had at least their 1st vaccination (the adopter is responsible for the 2nd if not done), they will be micro chipped, de-flead, wormed and their neutering will be done at 6 months old.
If you wish to get the kitten neutered at your own vet the donation fee will drop to £60 but proof must be sent to us when the kitten has been neutered, failure to neuter will mean we will take the cat away under breach of contract.
We ask for a £75 donation per cat under 6 months old.
For more information or to arrange an appointment to view,
Contact Penny at the cattery on 01634 294831
All new owners enter into an animal adoption agreement with us in which we clearly set out how we expect our animals to be looked after with the final reassurance that if, for whatever reason, it does not work out and the animal can no longer be cared for we expect the animal to be returned to us at Rspca Medway West.
