No, we don’t operate animal rescue or rehoming facilities.
If you need to report animal cruelty, have found a stray or injured animal, please contact the national RSPCA.
For emergencies, injured animals or cruelty concerns, you should contact the national RSPCA directly.
They are responsible for rescue, investigations and emergency response.
