Terrified. Beaten. Broken.
After weeks of cruelty, Berlioz was found with terrible injuries, including multiple skull fractures, broken ribs and missing teeth, causing him terrible pain and suffering. Our inspector, who rescued four-month-old Berlioz, recalls “I was shocked and heartbroken. The kitten was so tiny. He must have been terrified”.
We rescued Berlioz and rushed him to the vet’s for the urgent treatment he so desperately needed. Berlioz was nursed back to health in our animal centre and, thankfully, he made a full recovery. But this summer more animals are suffering out of sight and urgently need our help before it’s too late.

Merlin didn’t deserve cruelty
Four-month old Merlin didn’t deserve to have his affection repaid with abuse when he was so badly scalded on his nose and paw that he will bear the scars for life. The RSPCA rescuer looking after Merlin was shocked at how bad his injuries were. The pain and suffering he endured was utterly heartbreaking.
Our dedicated vets and carers gave him emergency treatment and nursed him back to health. Thankfully his wounds have healed. But more animals like Merlin are still suffering. They need our help before it’s too late.
