The RSPCA Sheffield Branch is a rehabiliation and rehoming centre for cats and dogs. We are separate to the National RSPCA and reliant on local support.
The RSPCA Sheffield Branch is a separately registered charity to the National RSPCA which is based in Horsham, Sussex.
Although we receive some support from the National RSPCA we have to generate all our own running costs ourselves, through local fundraising in the Sheffield area. We do not receive any funding from the government or local authority. The Sheffield branch of the RSPCA is run by volunteer trustees and costs over £2000 per day to run. This money has to be raised in the Sheffield area only, by staff and volunteers through fund raising, donations and legacies.
We rehome over 1000 animals per year from our centre, all of which have come to us further to rescue from cruelty or neglect, or that their owners are no longer able to care for them. Our job is to rehabilitate, retrain and rehome these animals and to raise the funds to do so.
The RSPCA Sheffield Branch, based in Attercliffe is made up of:
-The Sheffield Animal Centre which rehomes unwanted, neglected and abandoned cats and dogs. We neuter, vaccinate and microchip every dog and cat which comes to the Centre. We also occasionally run Dog Training Classes from the Animal Centre.
- A Welfare Veterinary Clinic which offers reduced-rate neutering, vaccinations, flea/worm treatments and microchipping to people who are on low incomes and in receipt of certain benefits.
- The Charity Emporiums, situated around Sheffield are a vital source of regular income for the centre. We have shops in Hillsborough Barracks, Stocksbridge, The Moor, Woodseats and Firth Park which sell second hand goods and furniture. We offer a free furniture collection service.
We never put an animal to sleep unless advised to do so by a vet, to prevent further suffering or for severe aggression to people.
