We are a branch of the RSPCA and are, in the main, self-funding.  We raise our funds locally and spend it locally, helping animals in need in our branch’s area.

We are run by a Committee of locally elected Trustees who are responsible for the management of the Branch. 

Until we have enough funding for an animal centre we are dependent on the help of a private cattery and our marvellous team of fosterers who help look after any animals which we are able to take in (sorry, currently no dogs) until new homes can be found.

We have a shop at 19 Churchyard, Hitchin (open from 9am to 4.30pm Monday to Saturday) where we sell a wide variety of good quality used items ranging from clothing, shoes and bric-a-brac to small items of furniture.  

We rely on our team of volunteers who provide help with many different ways such as helping with fundraising, home visits, fostering, taking animals to and from vets and lending a hand in our shop.   If you have an hour or two you can spare to help us on a regular basis do please get in touch.
