Well done you! There is Lost Cats Brighton or Cats Protection who rehome to the area who have oodles of cats at their headquarters in Haywards Heath xx

I certainly wouldn't recommend Lost Cats myself, we had a very bad experience with them - we visited there when looking to find a rescue Cat to home - I was not chuffed at having to explain the word "retard" & other choice phrases DD had overheard being used about another non English family visiting at the same time we were -

the people who run it do a very good job, so I do hate to criticise someone who gives up there own free time & home for a charity, but their views should be kept to themselves & out of earshot of visitorsHmm - I also found they took a dislike to us too & only offered us 2 Cats who were older than they told us & also pretty wild - not suitable for us at all.

Cats Protection on the other hand are brilliant, they have a far more sensible approach to rehoming - ie Cats to suit the home, rather than a blanket ban on things like - no kids under 10, not near roads etc as a lot do - so Cats placed with them are far more likely to be rehomed more quickly & with the right family - we got both our Cats from the NCC in Chelwoodgate

If you still need an alternative, we got our cat from WADARS (Worthing and District Animal Rescue Service). He was in a foster home with his mum and siblings when we went to choose him (with a lovely lady called Eve Christmas, I kid you not), but Wadars did our house check and paid for microchipping, neutering and jabs.
