Celia Hammond Animal Trust

About

This London-based animal welfare organization operates as a no-kill shelter specializing in cat rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming services throughout the capital and Southeast England. The charity focuses primarily on helping unwanted, abandoned, and stray cats, including specialized placement programs for feral and semi-feral cats on farms and rural properties. Their services extend beyond typical shelter operations to include comprehensive animal welfare support for the local community. The organization runs two veterinary clinics in Lewisham and Canning Town that provide affordable medical care specifically designed for pet owners with limited financial resources. These clinics offer essential services including low-cost spaying and neutering procedures, general veterinary treatment, and emergency care for both cats and dogs. The charity is currently developing an expanded rescue and rehoming facility at their Lewisham location, which will enhance their capacity to care for animals in need. Founded nearly four decades ago by a former fashion model turned animal advocate, this established charity maintains a commitment to non-destruction practices while addressing pet overpopulation through accessible veterinary services. Their work encompasses both direct animal rescue operations and community support programs that help pet owners maintain their animals' health and prevent abandonment situations.
