Northiam adoption centre

Northiam centre cares for cats and dogs
Opened in the late 1960s, and serves the communities of South East Sussex and parts of Kent. The site was converted from old farmhouses, and the reception is housed in a distinctive Oast house (pictured), formerly used to dry hops. The centre can accommodate up to eleven dogs and 34 cats, as well as providing ample facilities for up to 25 horses and ponies on the equine part of the site.

NEWS UPDATE:  It has been acknowledged that the current Blue Cross centre at Northiam is outdated and in desperate need of development, requiring significant investment. The charity will seek to raise the funds to move to a more suitable location in the South East where it can deliver its services more effectively. The Northiam centre will remain open until a new facility has been established, and the future of the land will be decided once a new location has been found. At this point the small animal rehoming activity will relocate to the new site and the resting and retired horses and ponies will be transferred to Blue Cross equine centres in Burford, Oxfordshire and Rolleston, Staffordshire. Homeless horses and ponies from the South East will continue to be taken in by these centres, as they are now. Read more about the Northiam adoption centre update.
