Together, we save more paws
Who We Are
People's Animal Welfare Society is dedicated to providing a loving environment for cats and dogs in need, offering them a second chance at finding their forever home.
Our animals are assessed in foster homes, many with other pets and children, instead of kennels and catteries. This creates a safer environment where their true personalities can shine. Some of our more confident cats are fostered at Kiko’s Cat Cafe in Rye, where they can show off their personalities to customers.
We rescue animals from the UK and overseas and specialise in ex-strays. We’re passionate about animals who may have long-term health conditions or disabilities and are committed to meeting their complex needs.
We believe that spaying and neutering is the only real solution to the current global animal rescue crisis. Neutering improves animals’ quality of life, reduces their risk of diseases such as pyometra and certain cancers, and over time, reduces stray populations.
At PAW Society, we believe that individuals and organisations working together can improve animal welfare all over the world and that together, we can save more paws.
Our objectives:
To promote humane behaviour towards cats and dogs subjected to cruelty, abuse, injury, neglect, and abandonment; to relieve the suffering of such animals in need of care, protection, treatment, and security by provision of a rescue, foster, assess, rehabilitate, and re-home service; to prevent future suffering of such animals through public education around irresponsible breeding, correct care, and neutering; and raising funds to neuter animals in countries particularly affected by stray cats and dogs.
PAW Society, a foster-based cat and dog rescue, is appealing for urgent public support after stepping in to save three severely injured male cats in recent weeks - all victims of separate road traffic accidents, all unneutered, and none microchipped.
Over a short period, the charity took responsibility for Elvis, Bruce, and Kevin - three cats who would otherwise have faced devastating and uncertain outcomes. PAW Society says their cases highlight a growing and preventable pattern, particularly during mating season.
