Who are we?

Rescued Animals in Need is made up of a group of hard working volunteers in the Sevenoaks area. Our main aim is to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home animals, and to provide those animals with any help that is needed in terms of general care and veterinary treatment.

We work mainly with cats and dogs. The charity also has contacts with welfare organisations dealing with wild animals, birds, and other animals.

What area does RAIN cover?

Rescued Animals in Need covers a wide area south-east of London from Bromley and Orpington, down to Sevenoaks, Edenbridge, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, to Crowborough, Cranbrook, and Maidstone.

When Animals are Rescued by RAIN

As soon as animals come into RAIN's care they are taken to a Veterinary Surgeon where they receive any necessary attention. All animals are vaccinated and neutered, if this has not already been done, and are routinely treated for worms and fleas. On veterinary advice, any cats felt to be at risk are blood-tested for certain diseases. Animals are then settled into the cattery, kennels or foster home and cared for whilst a permanent home is sought for them. Homes are sought for the animals through advertising, in local papers and through this website.
