Celia Hammond Animal Trust

1986 Celia Hamond founded the Celia Hammond Animal Trust, with the main objective of setting up low cost neuter and vaccination clinics, thus bringing responsible pet ownership within the reach of everyone. After a huge fund raising effort, the first clinic opened in Lewisham, South East London, in October 1995 and was fully booked almost from day one. After a short while an average of fifty dogs and one hundred cats were being neutered every week. In January 1999 a second clinic was opened in East London and was soon neutering the same numbers. Both London clinics operate a 24-hour rescue/rehoming service. Celia's sanctuary in East Sussex usually has around three hundred animals either awaiting rehoming or resident in comfort in the sanctuary's sixty acres of beautiful countryside for the rest of their lives.
