We're a SANCTUARY in Kent who care for 137 abused, neglected and needy goats at our Maidstone-based home.

We're too small to be able to open to the public every day but we usually open each Sunday. Find out more about visiting us in NEWS AND EVENTS. This website has photos of most of our GOATS and brief details about their personal history and characters.

If you're concerned about the welfare of any goat, please contact us for advice.

And the name of the new baby goat...

Is Owen, named as the result of the competition at our May open day and raising £104 for the charity. Many thanks to all who participated.

As you can see, his broken leg has healed well, although it's left him with a pronounced limp. He might be a bit on the slow side, but he got there in the end!

Raise funds by donating your unwanted clothes!

There's a free collection service, the clothes are recycled so go to a good cause, and Buttercups receives a donation as well!

Advise Charity Ecosystem you have clothes to donate (at least 10kg worth). They'll send you a bag, then collect it when you tell them it's ready. The clothes are recycled and £4.00 is donated to Buttercups. Find out more or arrange the service here.

Buttercups is completely reliant on public donations to survive. If you're able to make a donation to help us continue our work, this would be wonderful. Either use the DONATE button towards the top of this page or find out more about donating HERE.
