Bramcote, Nottingham
Welcome to our home
A home for the sick. Refuge for the abandoned. Shelter for the lost.
For over 35 years we have given lost, unwanted and poorly treated animals a safe place to land — and a loving home to move on to.

A home for the sick
Animals arriving unwell are seen by our vets and cared for until they are ready for a new family.
Refuge for the abandoned
We operate a strict non-destruction policy. Every animal stays with us for as long as it takes.
Shelter for the lost
Dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and small pets all find warmth, food and company here.
About us
Bramcote Rescue Centre is located in the village of Bramcote near Nottingham and has been rescuing abandoned animals for over 35 years. Many lost, unwanted and poorly treated pets have found refuge and shelter at the centre and eventually moved on to loving new homes.
We rehome most domestic pets — dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, rabbits, guinea pigs and rodents — all with a non-destruction policy. We are a charity and rely entirely on donations to run the centre. We sometimes need fosterers when the rescue is full, and we always use fosterers for our dogs. Advice is given free with all of our adopted animals, so if you would like to adopt, or simply want to know more, please do get in touch.
The Ash House Rabbit Retreat
Our rabbit and guinea pig shed, donated to us by the late Mr Ashley Pare. The animals have large compartments with plenty of space to move around, and on dry days they go outside into a run for exercise.
Cats & kittens
Our cats and kittens are housed in the cattery, each with a large compartment should they need their own space — though most play happily together. All cats are sterilised, vaccinated and treated for fleas and worms before they leave us. We do not breed.
Dogs
We do not have kennels at the rescue, so every dog we take in lives with a fosterer in their own home until a permanent family is found.
A note on ferrets
We are not able to take in ferrets. If you would like to offer a home to a rescue ferret, please contact Clare Goddard at the Ferret Hotel in Bulwell, Nottingham on 07572 124335.

Life at the centre
