Description
The National Cat Centre is the UK’s largest cat rehoming centre, dedicated to improving the welfare of cats and kittens. Located within the Ashdown Forest, it offers a peaceful countryside setting and a welcoming reception area for visitors. The centre focuses on adoption, education, and supporting responsible cat ownership.
Visitors can meet cats and kittens looking for loving homes and speak with staff for adoption guidance and cat care advice. The 52-acre nature trail, picnic spots by the lake, café, and gift shop make it a pleasant day out for families. Educational talks, group tours (by arrangement), and conference facilities are also available.
Adoption fees are £90 for an adult cat and £110 for a kitten. The fee supports the care, welfare, and preparation of cats before they join their new homes.
A visit offers a meaningful experience where guests can connect with animals, enjoy nature, and learn about feline welfare. The calm surroundings and friendly team make it both relaxing and educational. It’s a rewarding place to visit, especially for anyone considering giving a cat a loving new home.
