Face masks must be worn in our reception.
Due to higher demand than usual, the nice, friendly homeable cats that are handed over to us are being booked then rehomed very quickly by people coming up to visit us.
The number of cats being handed over to us has decreased.
We are not even getting the chance to post them on this page or Facebook.
We advise that you come and visit us to see who we have available but we cannot guarantee that we can help you straight away. We do not know
Please call us or email us on rminniscats@gmail.com before you plan to visit if there is a specific cat you have in mind and we can have a chat with you about the cats we have available.
Thank you for your understanding during these worrying times.
We had these lovely little hessian gift bags made especially to celebrate our 50th birthday next month.
We had hoped to sell them on our Open day but unfortunately that’s cancelled.
They are 12″ x 12″.
They cost £8.50 each inc p&p
So if you wish to purchase one, beautifully modelled here by Vinnie 😻(who has since been rehomed) please see the PayPal link or email rminniscats@gmail.com.
You can also send a cheque made payable to Rhodes Minnis Cat Sanctuary and leave a note stating it is for the bag with your name and address or call the sanctuary on 01303 862243 and pay over the phone.
They will also be available to buy from our shop The Cat Basket in Folkestone which reopens on Monday 15th (more details re the shop in due course).
All proceeds will go directly to the cats in our care.
Thank you

It was our 50th birthday next Sunday (19th July).
We are so sad that we cannot celebrate it with you all by having an open day.
To cheer us up, we would love you to share your memories and pictures with us.
You could also send us birthday messages, cards and donations.
We are pleased to inform you that we will be open from tomorrow (Sat 4th July).
Opening hours
10am to 1pm
CLOSED FOR LUNCH (1pm to 2pm)
2pm to 4pm every day.
We are still adhering to the social distancing guidelines.
Guidelines are written on the gate and must be read before entry and hand sanitiser used.
Our toilets will be closed.
We may have to refuse entry if we have too many people on site at once.
Please respect our staff and if we are busy cleaning, we may ask you to keep your distance.
Please bear in mind that demand for rehomeable cats has been very high and we may not have anything suitable for you at this time.
We look forward to seeing you again.
We are appealing for help during these difficult times.
We are closed to the public until further notice so we cannot rehome any cats or kittens during this time.
With the temporary closure of our charity shop The Cat Basket, cancellations of our Quiz Night (March), Spring Fair (May) and our Open Day (July) which we were looking forward to as it will be our 50th birthday and our Seathwaite Boarding Cattery is empty for the first time in it’s history we need all the help we can get.
