Croydon Animal Samaritans

About

This volunteer-operated animal rescue organization has been serving South London and Surrey communities since 1974, focusing on the care and rehoming of cats, dogs, and rabbits. The organization operates through an extensive network of foster volunteers who provide temporary homes for animals in need, while working to find permanent placements for each pet in their care. The rescue maintains a comprehensive approach to animal welfare, operating donation collection points at supermarket locations throughout the region to gather essential pet supplies. Their volunteer network includes specialized roles for different aspects of operations, from logistics coordination to species-specific care, with dedicated contact lines for cat fostering and rabbit inquiries. The organization also runs a retail shop to support their funding efforts, though it operates on a limited schedule. Pet owners seeking to adopt will find animals available across multiple species, with the organization maintaining an active online presence to showcase pets awaiting homes. The rescue accepts animals regardless of circumstances, operating with a policy of not turning away pets in need of assistance, and provides various ways for the community to support their mission through fostering, volunteering, or donations.
