About RSPCA - Hillingdon, Slough, Windsor, Kingston & District

The Slough, Uxbridge and District Branch of the RSPCA is an individually registered charity that depends on local support to fund its vital animal welfare work. The RSPCA is structured so all branches are self funding, we do not currently receive any government or lottery funding.

The Slough, Uxbridge and District RSPCA helped over 8,000 animals in need last year, by:

- Providing veterinary care to over 5,500 pet owners who otherwise couldn't afford treatment for their sick or injured pets

- Finding homes for 1,498 unwanted, neglected and abused animals

- Promoting responsible pet ownership, through the provision of neutering, microchipping, as well as providing primary animal heath care such as worming, flea treatment and vaccinations

Our history

The RSPCA has a long history in the local area. The veterinary clinic in Hillingdon was first started during the Second World War in response to the many war-orphaned and abandoned animals. RAF Uxbridge supplied scraps from their cookhouse to help feed the animals.

The clinic was originally a timber hut and evolved to the existing brick building in 1952. In May 1999, the clinic closed for essential modernisation and reopened eight months later
