We rescue and rehome animals in need
At The Kit Wilson Trust, we believe that every animal matters. We rescue and rehome those who have nowhere else to turn, providing a loving home for dogs, cats, horses, birds and many more who remain in our care, safe and cherished for life.

From a modest beginning, The Trust has grown since 1975.
It began when Katherine Wilson (always known as 'Kit'), a well-known cat show judge and campaigner for animal welfare, left a small legacy to be used for the benefit of animals...
The wellbeing of animals, from the smallest to the largest is our number one priority
From rescue to rehoming, their welfare is always at the heart of what we do. We have over 500 animals and birds at our Animal Rescue Centre in Hadlow Down, nestled in the glorious Sussex countryside.
