RSPCA Manchester and Salford Branch

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...

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...
