RSPCA Manchester and Salford Branch

The first week of June is National Volunteers Week. Each year we celebrate it with a social gathering to say thank you to our amazing team of volunteers who work on the retail and animal side of things at the branch. In the past we’ve had afternoon teas, a garden...

It feels like it has been a quiet week but on reflection it just seems that way in comparison to last week’s frenzy of activity with the large rabbit case. In reality we have had 15 new admissions, but because they have trickled in over the course of the week it...

It was 6.50pm on Monday evening when the National RSPCA inspector, who should have finished 2 hours ago, arrived with 44 rabbits in her van. As she opened her van doors and I peered in to look, a touch of hysteria washed over me. In one vari-kennel were around 20...

Blog by Susie Hughes, our charity manager: We have been all about the cats this week, which makes a change because it tends to be the lagomorphs (aka bunnies) that rule at the centre! With 5 new cat admissions, each with their own heart breaking story, they represent...

Who could have ever predicted the situation we currently find ourselves in as a nation? In these uncertain and scary times it can be hard to keep focused and carry on but we will and we must! Although our charity shops (and main source of income) are now shut the...

It's been an exciting journey for the past few months! After years of dreaming we opened our animal centre in July 2019 in Salford. Our branch has always used private boarders and foster homes to care for it's animals and the move to our very own, brand spanking new...

Our long term volunteer Hannah takes a wander around our first ever animal centre! Time flies as they say and when it comes to volunteering for RSPCA Manchester & Salford I can certainly concur. I totted up my years of service today and I'm on year 11 after...

Many of our regular supporters and adopters will know that we don't actually have an animal centre. We use private boarding and our foster mum's and dad's to look after all the animals in our care. However, that's going to change this year as we are opening our very...

I'm writing this blog post on a Monday morning. The office is always the busiest today with staff playing catch up from over the weekend which includes the usual office calls, emails and queries, liaising with National RSPCA staff about which...
