To rescue, rehabilitate and re-home animals, and to provide those animals with any help that is needed in terms of general care and veterinary treatment.

Rescued Animals in Need is made up of a group of hard working volunteers in the Sevenoaks area. Animals find their way to RAIN for all kinds of reasons. They are found straying; are left behind at the vets after an accident; are either left in a house or locked out of it when people move away; need new homes when elderly people die or move into residential care; or are unwanted due to changes in family circumstances. As soon as animals come into RAIN's care they are taken to a Veterinary Surgeon where they receive any necessary attention. All animals are vaccinated and neutered, if this has not already been done, and are routinely treated for worms and fleas. On veterinary advice, any cats felt to be at risk are blood-tested for certain diseases. Animals are then settled into the cattery, kennels or foster home and cared for whilst a permanent home is sought for them. Homes are sought for the animals through advertising and in local papers. As RAIN does not have its own Sanctuary, other means of caring or the animals have to be found. It is our ultimate aim to have a Sanctuary of our own, but have to face the fact that we would need an enormous windfall to achieve this in the foreseeable future. The charity also has contacts with welfare organisations dealing with wild animals, birds, and other animals.
