Tunbridge Wells and Maidstone RSPCA (or Mid Kent RSPCA as it's also known) is a small voluntary branch of the RSPCA primarily rehoming homeless dogs and cats, but also providing low cost veterinary services to low income households. We're actually over 100 years old, but Myspace threatened to delete us if we set our age at that!?
The site is run from several private properties after our old landlords kicked us out of our countryside shelter and we rely greatly on our website as a point of contact, currently we receive over 20,000 virtual visitors every year and rehome a huge number of cats and dogs thanks to the Internet.
We are a "no kill" shelter and NEVER put animals to sleep. All the animals under our care are lovingly cared for with plenty of human contact; we arrange behavioural training for problem dogs so that they can be rehomed, and provide a "stepping stone" house for feral living cats re-adjusting to life with humans; some of our cats like it here so much they refuse to be rehomed!
You can see our full website (currently under reconstruction but fully functional), which includes photos of cats and dogs available for adoption at www.midkentrspca.com .

Our branch policies
The branch offers low cost animal treatment and neutering to people on a low income.
The branch accepts animals for re-homing from RSPCA Inspectors and members of the public when space permits.
The branch aims never to have to destroy a healthy animal and cares for many difficult to rehome animals long term.
All the animals we care for are well fed, cared for and loved in the best possible conditions we can maintain.
It is our intention that all animals will be micro-chipped, neutered and vaccinated, prior to leaving our care.
All potential adopters will be contacted to arrange a home visit prior to adoption to ensure that a successful match is made between the adopter and animal to be re-homed. A post adoption visit is then arranged to discuss any problems and answer any new questions.
