Do you sponsor a cat or dog?

Do You Sponsor a

RSPCA Sponsorship is one of the best ways you can help dogs and cats in need. It allows them to recover from neglect, abuse and abandonment in the safe, caring environment of our animal centres. Did you know that 2, 149 dogs and 4,903 cats were taken into our care during 2020? By sponsoring dog kennels or cat pods in our animal centres across England and Wales, you’ll be giving the gift of: life-saving veterinary treatment; shelter and safety; food and treats, plus expert rehabilitation and loving care. In return, you’ll receive a welcome pack, along with regular updates and photos from our centres all about the animals you’re helping. You’ll be able to see what a difference your Sponsorship is making to the dogs and cats in our care.

How does sponsorship help?

1) Annual vaccines - Many of the dogs we care for need urgent and ongoing medical care. As well as helping fund safe, warm kennels for all dogs, RSPCA Sponsors help pay for everything from annual vaccines or flea and worm treatment to emergency surgery and treating chronic conditions. 2) Rehabilitation - We rescue dogs from terrible situations. Some have been abused, others neglected meaning they’ve never had human contact. It can take weeks, months – or longer – for them to recover and be ready for a new life, in a loving home. Your sponsorship could help fund this expert rehabilitation for dogs in our care. 3) New bedding - Sponsorship helps keep our cat pods well stocked, so our feline friends can feel at home while they’re with us. Somewhere warm and cosy to sleep, fun toys to keep them stimulated. Giving the gift of RSPCA Sponsorship is becoming more widely known and popular amongst animal lovers. Our animal centres across England and Wales are almost solely funded by the public. We rely on the

generosity of our sponsors to keep them all running. With more than 800 cats and dogs staying in our 14 animal centres at any one time, sponsorship couldn’t be more important. Our behaviour and welfare workers are able to work closely with the dogs that come into their care, because of the funding that comes from sponsorship. So many of them have been traumatised by cruelty and neglect, so they need a lot of extra help to overcome that. Special training plans are created, that are unique to each dog, in order for them to grow their confidence and trust people one more. If you need to contact our Branch (North
