From one of our adopters "I would heartily recommend cat adoption from the RSPCA. We were lucky enough to get Pasha and Shadow from the South West London RSPCA branch. They came to us at three months old; they were vaccinated, neutered, cat litter trained, wormed and microchipped. They are the most loving and gentle cats and have brought so much joy to our family. The RSPCA team were extremely supportive and responsive to our questions. Such a positive experience in helping us find the kittens who were right for our family!"

Our branch help hundreds of cats to find their purrfect homes and advocate the #AdoptDontShop message

Adopting a rescue animal is a big commitment and needs careful consideration as it will change your life and your life will have to change to fit around your pet.
