Celia Hammond Animal Trust

About

This London-based animal charity operates as a no-kill shelter specializing in cat rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming services throughout the capital and Southeast England. The organization focuses primarily on helping unwanted, abandoned, and stray cats, including specialized placement programs for feral and semi-feral cats on farms and rural properties. Founded by former model Celia Hammond in 1986, the charity has been serving the community for nearly four decades. The organization operates two veterinary clinics in Lewisham and Canning Town, providing affordable medical care and neutering services for cats and dogs belonging to low-income pet owners. These clinics offer essential veterinary treatments at reduced costs, making pet healthcare accessible to families who might otherwise struggle to afford proper medical care for their animals. The charity is currently developing a new rescue and rehoming center in Lewisham to expand their capacity for caring for animals in need. Beyond direct animal care, the organization maintains an active presence in animal welfare advocacy and community outreach. They operate adoption programs connecting cats with suitable homes, offer fostering opportunities, and run various fundraising initiatives including an online shop and sponsorship programs to support their ongoing rescue operations.
