Mr Woo came in on the 7th of December as his previous owner could no longer look after him.
He is a cheeky, bouncy boy who can be a little shy with new people at first. Mr Woo knows sit, paw and his name on command, is ok when groomed and loves his toys, especially soft, squeaky ones. He is very cuddly once he knows you.
Mr Woo does have a very stubborn side so would benefit from a dog experienced or confident owner.
He is friendly with other dogs but can be a little wary of larger ones at first. He would benefit from further socialisation.
Mr Woo could live with children 10 years or older who are used to dogs.
Welcome to the Sussex Brighton and East Grinstead Branch of the RSPCA. We are an entirely self-funding charity, run by an active committee of volunteers who are trustees of the Branch funds. The Branch is responsible for the Brighton Animal Shelter at Patcham.
Over 3000 animals are cared for at the Shelter each year, including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, reptiles, foxes, badgers, hedgehogs, chickens, ferrets and various birds, both wild and domestic. Facilities are available for almost every animal until it is ready for
re-homing or release. Please take a look at all the animals that currently need re-homing, as well as lots more information on boarding, donating, events, volunteering, and lots more!

Mr Posh and Lucky came into the shelter as their owner was downsizing so could no longer keep the cats. Mr Posh is long haired, grey and white, Lucky is black. They are both neutered and microchipped by their owners and we have vaccinated them and brought their flea and wormers up to date.
They are a bit of an odd couple but they do get along very well. Mr posh is very out going and likes to be nosy and see what you are doing, he is very friendly and comes forward to have a fuss. He will need daily grooming. Lucky is shy and more reserved but will come forward for attention and a fuss. As Lucky is more shy we do feel they would both be better with older children or in an adult home. Mr posh will need a garden to explore in. They may be better as the only pets so they can have all the attention. They do need to be rehomed together

Rupert came into the shelter as his owner could no longer care for him, due to personnel circumstances. He had been neutered and microchipped. We have vaccinated and brought his flea and worming treatment up to date.
Rupert is a sweet friendly chap, who comes forward for a fuss and attention. We believe he has lived with children in the past, but is a little shy of them in the cattery, so we feel he would be better with older children who are used to cats. He is not keen on the dogs at the shelter and seems to stay away from the other cats so would be best as the only pet in the house. He loves to be outside in his run area here and watches the birds all the time. He is a lovely boy who would like a nice garden to explore

Annie came in to the shelter from our Harmsworth branch in London. She was taken in as a stray with a very nasty collar injury. Her leg was stuck through the collar. It was not a safety collar. The vets tried very hard to keep the leg but the infection was just too nasty and was not responding to medication. So she had to have her front right leg removed.
We are looking for an active household for Annie, she is a busy cat and even though she only has three legs she is very agile and fast on her feet. She can run, jump and climb. She would love to have a garden for her to explore. We think it would be best if the children were no younger than teenagers, or children with alot of cat experience. Unfortunately due to Annie being a stray she is food obsessed and gets fed in a slow feeder here as she bolts her food too quickly. In time this will slow down and she will know she is getting regular meals but it may start again in a new home so the new owners need to know not to leave any food ...

Chase came in on the 28th of November via another RSPCA centre.
He is a friendly, lively boy who loves cuddles. Chase knows sit and his name on command but would benefit from some further training. He is a cheeky, playful boy who loves his toys.
Chase would prefer to be the only pet in the home. He is happy with female dogs once he has met them but is not so keen on other males.
He is a new arrival who is still being assessed.

Prince came in to the shelter as he was removed by our inspectors due to poor living conditions. Prince is a male dutch crossbreed rabbit, 4 years old. We have neutered, vaccinated and microchipped him.
We are looking for a very special home for Prince. He originally came into the shelter with his brother, they had never been housed together. His brother was very poorly due to the conditions they were both living in and the vets had to put his brother down. Prince has been rehomed twice with us, both times to live with female rabbits. But we are not sure if Prince gives off the wrong vibes but female rabbits seem to hate him. Due to this he is now back at the shelter again. So we are looking for an indoor home for Prince as a single rabbit where he can be spoilt rotten and have the run of the house/flat or just a room. He loves people and attention especially around food time

Nutmeg came into the shelter as she was found in someone's garden as a stray. She is a female Syrian hamster. She is young we are guessing about 5 months old.
We are looking for an adult home for Nutmeg, with people who are experienced in Syrian hasmters. She is very sweet but has not had much handling so can be alittle jumpy and will try to jump out of your hands. She is getting better all the time she is here but in a new home with new people, she will be shy at first. She will need a large secure cage

Mandy came in on the 20th of November via another RSPCA centre where she had been since July.
She is a sweet, older girl who knows her name on command and is good when groomed. Mandy is a little shy initially but soon becomes friends when you offer her a treat! She enjoys her walks but is equally happy with a nice comfy bed to chill out on.
Mandy is sociable with some other dogs but needs a home without cats or small animals as even at her age she still likes to chase them!
She is looking for a quiet home without young children for her retirement years.

Felicity and Franklyn came into the shelter as their owners had to move back home urgently. They are brother and sister, 6 months old. We have neutered, vaccinated and microchipped them. Felicity is the smaller one on the left and Franklyn is the larger one on the right
They are a very playful pair of ferrets who are inquisative and extremely noisy . We are looking for an experienced home as they are not used to too much handling and will get over excited, causing them to nip occasionally. But it is play and they are still very young. We feel a adult home would be best for them. They can live inside or outside in a sheltered hutch or shed but must have a run to exercise in daily. They do not have tails, we do not know why but it does not cause them any problems!!!

Henry came in on the 21st of October as his previous owner was working long hours and did not have any time for him.
He is certainly a character! Henry knows sit and his name on command but has had very little training or life experiences other than this. He loves his food so this will help with ongoing training. Henry has not had a lot of exercise or mental stimulation in his last home and can get frustrated easily, he tends to take this out on his toys which he loves playing with in typical terrier style!
He can get over excited around other dogs but is ok with the right introductions. His new owner will need to continue working on his socialisation skills. Henry needs a home without cats.
He is looking for a VERY experienced terrier home without children.
Henry needs a rural home.

Here's sweet Finny! He recently arrived because his owner could no longer look after him. He's a shy guy, but does enjoy a quiet chin scratch and bit of fuss. He's a bit stressed in the cattery, and would like to find a quiet home soon.
Finny is used to living in a calm, adult only home. He's previously lived with another cat, but would prefer to be the only cat in his new home. He's ideally looking for a cat experienced person, who understands that he will take time to come out of his shell and settle into new surroundings. He has mostly been an indoor cat, and would be ideally suited to a quiet area.
Finny is microchipped, neutered, and now up to date on vaccinations and flea & worming treatment.

Sidney came into the shelter as he was taken into the vets as a stray. We think he is about 1-2 years old, he has small ears so we think he is a dwarf crossbreed. We have neutered, vaccinated and microchipped him.
Sidney is a very shy rabbit and is easily spooked. We feel he would benefit from a home with a friendly spayed female rabbit to gain his trust in people. He would be better an adult home. He is coming round nicely here and will let us stroke him and take curly kale from our hands.

Nibbles and Dotty came in for rehoming as they were not happy living with young children. They are 4 year old sister's. They have been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Nibbles has the white stripe down her nose and Dotty has the white dot nose.
They are a sweet pair, not used to too much handling but they can be picked up. They like to come over to see if we are putting any tasty treats in their bowl. They like curly kale the best but will be noisy at anything coming their way.
We are looking for a home with older children possibly teenager age or an adult home. They are not over confident so will need a patient owner who can gain their trust and get them to come out of their shell's

Nelly came in on the 15th of October via another rescue. She was an unclaimed stray.
Nelly is a bouncy, friendly, happy girl who still very much behaves like a puppy! She knows sit on command, is ok when groomed, loves playing with toys and enjoys her walks, although she tends to bounce along rather than walk!
She is very good with other dogs and loves to play but can be a little full on for some! Nelly needs a home without cats.
She can be quite strong and boisterous on the lead and at times very stubborn! She is looking for an active, confident owner who can manage this and provide her with some further training.
Nelly could live with older children who are used to lively dogs.

Murphy and Murdock came into the shelter as they were removed along with 43 other rabbits from one home. The other rabbits have been distributed around the country. We do have their sisters here Iona and Rosa. Also their brother kramer but he has already been reserved so will be going very soon. Iona, Rosa and Kramer have now all gone to their new homes and are happily settled.
We think they are Rex cross dwarf rabbits as they are still very small but they do have beautiful coats. We have now neutered, vaccinated and microchipped them. They are brothers and their date of birth is 26/5/19
We are looking for a home for them together. They are a sweet pair of boys but have not been handled much due to the amount of rabbits in the home. Due to this they can be a little jumpy and wriggly when handled. We feel they would be better in an adult home or a home with teenage children. As this is their first winter and they are small they will need to go inside or into a shed for this winter

Chas and Dave where actually born at the shelter. We went into a home a removed 16 guinea pigs, some where pregnant and some had, had babies. These two were born to different mums but have grown up together. Chas is brown/tan/white and was born 18/8/19. Dave white/tan/brown and was born 24/7/19.
We are looking for a home for them together, they are both male and are not neutered. We are looking for a home where they can be outside in the summer and inside in the winter. Or they could live inside and have access daily to an exercise area inside. They love food and greens time. They do squeak but only for kale!! They have been handled here by the staff but are not overly confident with strangers so a home without very young children may be better for them.

Lovely Grace & Gordon are looking for a new home after being returned to us - they were adopted last month, but the other ferrets in the home didn't like them very much! They are now looking for a new place as the only ferrets in the home.
Grace & Gordon originally came in for re-homing as they were found straying on someone's property. We think they are brother and sister. When they arrived they were very thin, had lots of fleas and ticks and Gordon had an abscess on his neck. We have now treated them for their ticks & fleas and Gordon is all healed up! They have both been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. We think they are only about 10 months - 1 year old.
We are looking for a home for them together, they are very friendly and playful. They can be picked up and handled. Grace is more nosy and wants to know what you are doing, Gordon is mischievous and gets into everything. They would be okay with older children if the children are used to ferrets. They can live inside or outside (in appropriate sheltered accommodation).

Akira has been with us in our special care unit since the beginning of March. She came in via an Inspector and was extremely malnourished on arrival. After lots of veterinary investigations we have got to the bottom of why she was so skinny. Akira has digestive issues linked to her pancreas, this means she has to stay on a specific diet and will be on an enzyme supplement in her food for life. She has now gained lots of weight, is feeling 100 times better and is ready to look for a new home.
Akira is a friendly, boisterous girl who still very much behaves like an adolescent! She knows sit and her name and will give both paws but will need further training. Akira enjoys her walks and has recently started wearing a halti to help her walk nicely!
She needs a home without cats, birds or small furry animals and will need to continue her socialisation skills with other dogs as she has missed out on so much as a pup.
Akira is looking for a family who are experienced with big dogs as she does like to try and push the boundaries! She is a bouncy, playful girl now that ...
