About Us

Celia Hammond Animal Trust is a UK registered charity, founded in 1986. We operate across London and the South East helping stray, abandoned, and unwanted animals, and provide essential low-cost veterinary care to pets belonging to low-income owners.

With veterinary clinics and rescue centres located in Canning Town and Lewisham (London), and an animal sanctuary and rehoming centre in Brede (East Sussex), our frontline emergency rescue work includes collecting strays as well as animals from backstreet breeders, multi-cat households, and welfare situations, and neutering the animals at our clinics.

We respond to calls from the public, local authorities, and police; educate pet owners on the importance of neutering; and seek homes for rescued animals in London, East and West Sussex, Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent, and Surrey.
