***National Call Centre Update*** 

At the beginning of the Coronavirus crisis our national cruelty line (0300 1234 999) temporarily stopped being a 24-hour service. This has now become a permanent change and the line is open 7am-10pm, seven days a week.

***PLEASE NOTE FROM THE 31st MAY 2022 THESE TIMES WILL BE CHANGING TO 8AM TO 8PM***

Please visit the following link www.rspca.org.uk/reportcruelty, which includes a helpful checklist of the information they will need when you call.

This is an incredibly difficult time for us across the RSPCA, as is it is for everyone and we appreciate your ongoing support.

Animal welfare needs

The welfare of an animal includes its physical and mental state and we consider that good animal welfare implies both fitness and a sense of well-being. We believe that an animals welfare should be considered in terms of 'FIVE NEEDS':

1. The need for a suitable environment

2. The need for a suitable diet

3. the need to be able to exhibit normal behaviour patterns

4. The need it has to be housed with, or apart from, other animals

5. The need to be protected from pain, suffering, injury and disease.
