Battersea Brands Hatch

Location, opening times and facilities

Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, Brands Hatch provides a calmer environment for those dogs and cats struggling to cope with the busier centre in London. We care for an average of 45 dogs and 25 cats at any one time in our purpose-built accommodation in the beautiful Kent countryside.
Our dogs stay in large kennels with heated floors and sound absorption technology. We are surrounded by 12 acres of fields, including a woodland trail, to help with training and much-needed exercise. The sense of calm continues in the state-of-the-art cattery which features heated shelves for the cats and large external runs.  
The centre is situated just off the A20 between the villages of West Kingsdown and Ash in Kent and open seven days a week.

Battersea is heavily reliant on the generosity of supporters and visitors as we receive no central government funding. Without this, we would not be able to provide the same level of high quality care for the animals we look after.

All children must be accompanied by an adult.
