Dogs in Hot Cars

Anyone seeing a dog in distress in a hot car should ring the RSPCA 24 Hour Helpline on 03001234999. There is now a priority button on the recorded message. It is Option 1.

Please do not send emails about this or any other concern about animals in distress as emails are only checked by a volunteer and are not for urgent matters. The local Branch has put up signs all over our area advising this course of action.

We have 4 dogs looking for foster homes or new homes. Please see our dog page

Feral cats feeding.

These are just some of the many ferals on a local industrial estate that are being fed & cared for by two local RSPCA supporters. In the last 18 months they have caught 41 cats & had them tested & neutered. 22 of these cats were female so this has prevented many litters of kittens being born which would have added to the feral population. There are 5 feeding stations & some cat shelters on the estate & as well as thanking our 2 supporters for their time & patience in feeding & catching these cats, we must also thank the local businesses who allow them on to their premises to carry out this vital work. The testing & neutering of these cats is paid for by our local Branch. The cats are also routinely wormed to help keep them healthy.

Hedgehog Release

Eleven hedgehogs who have overwintered at our Hedgehog Hotel have now been released back into the areas where they were found. See pictures on our Hedgehog page of Pinky, Perky & Porky, three siblings who were all found in daylight in Bainton. It was touch & go for poor Porky who was covered in fly strike.
