We need your help this Christmas! 

Join us through the days of Advent and help us fill our virtual Christmas stocking.  We will post a donation idea and animal story every day of Advent on on our Facebook and Twitter pages. We want you to follow us through the 24 days and help us raise vital funds for our cats and dogs. Follow us on Facebook (@RSPCAWHS) and Twitter (@RSPCA_WHS).

We have a special role within the RSPCA as we are a cruelty case boarding centre. This means we care for dogs and cats removed by the Inspectorate from situations of cruelty, abuse and neglect. We care for and rehabilitate them whilst the legal processes against their owners go through court.  

This means we care for some very damaged animals, both emotionally and physically, and have the added challenge of meeting their welfare needs in a kennel and cattery environment for prolonged periods of time. Once animals are either signed over or we win their cases in court, they are usually transferred to other branches to find their forever homes.  

Sadly, we can’t tell you about all the animals that are in our care, at present. This has to remain strictly confidential as legal proceedings are taking place. The stories you hear with named animals, have moved on for rehoming and any unnamed animals are currently in our care.  

Your donations could buy food for a cat with special dietary requirements as a result of being starved, buy training equipment to aid the rehabilitation of a dog that’s been beaten, or pay for vital veterinary treatment to ensure our cats and dogs can go on to find new forever homes.  

Please donate now to help animals in need this Christmas.
