A double rescue

“These kittens were in a terrible state and going downhill quickly.”

When RSPCA Animal Rescue Officer Lee Ferrans first met these kittens, their eyes were crusted shut from a severe infection.

He knew that their situation was critical and rushed them to our hospital for emergency veterinary care. They were weak, visibly suffering, and Beatrice had a high fever.

We treated their conjunctivitis with eye drops and antibiotics before moving them to our Bryn-y-Maen Animal Centre. Over months of expert care, their eyes healed and they grew into healthy, happy cats.

IN NEED OF RESCUE

Dante and Beatrice were sick with flu, itchy from an untreated flea infestation and had painful weeping eyes. They had been suffering for a week without treatment.

A LOVING NEW HOME

Now, they’re safe and healthy with their loving new owners. Beatrice can be shy, but Dante is always by her side, giving her the confidence she needs to explore.

The Big Give Back to Animals

Reports of animal neglect are up 26%*

Animals are remarkable: they offer us unconditional love and bring joy into our lives every day. 

But during the coldest months, more cats and dogs are neglected and abandoned than any other time of the year. Dogs like Nova, who would’ve died without urgent help, are depending on us right now for survival. 

We’ll never give up on animals who need us, but our rescue teams and centres are stretched. As a charity, the RSPCA is independent of government. We rely on public donations to rescue animals in desperate need. Together, we can help more animals survive, heal and get a second chance at a life full of love. 

Will you donate £3 a month and give back to animals this winter?
