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.
Treats can be given to our cats but please ask a member of staff beforehand.
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 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
We are rehoming cats but it will be APPOINTMENT ONLY.
If you wish to rehome one or two of our cats then please contact us by emailing rminniscats@gmail.com or calling 01303 862243 (between 9am-4pm) to arrange an appointment.

These are strange times for us so please bear with us and hopefully you’ll have a furry feline companion very soon.
We look forward to seeing you soon and rehoming our beautiful cats who have been very patient waiting for new homes!
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.

We are still planning on doing our Quiz Night on Saturday 28th March.
We understand if anybody is going to cancel so please let us know asap if you cannot attend.
If the numbers get too low then the event may be cancelled.
Lets hope that we do not have to cancel and that we have a great fun evening!
We will of course be making extra effort for hand washing on the evening.
We look froward to seeing you all there.
Unfortunately due to the coronovirus pandemic, we have had to make the very sad decision to cancel our open day this year.
You can still donate to our just giving page.
As you all maybe aware, it’s our 50th year.
We have set up a Just Giving page to help towards making our open day the biggest and best to date.
We need your help.
We would like to hire a few attractions.
Please see the link below to donate and we look forward to seeing as many of you here in July for our open day!
Please share far and wide.
We are working on getting the link to connect but in the meantime, if you highlight the address and copy and paste it into your search bar then it should work. Alternatively, find us on Facebook and click on the link there.
