The RSPCA Cardiff & District Branch has been in existence for well over a century!
Throughout this time we have continued to help local animals in need.
Via our Welfare Assistance Project, we issue vouchers enabling pet owners (on low income and in receipt of benefits) with emergency vet bills. And we help towards the cost of neutering and microchipping. In fact, we've just started a microchipping clinic at our Whitchurch Office (see our NEWS page for details).
We no longer have an animal centre in Cardiff, however, we continue to rehome hundreds of unwanted or cruelty case animals, using private boarding establishments and via our team of dedicated fosterers.
We often organise animal ‘Community Care’ events, where we offer help and guidance on many animal issues. We support our local RSPCA Inspectors in whatever way we can, as well as assisting our nearest RSPCA Animal Centres in Newport and Swansea, also the RSPCA Clinic at Merthyr Tydfil.
As you can see, RSPCA Cardiff & District is extremely active - but none of this would be possible without the help of our supporters. As with all RSPCA Branches, we receive no Government or lottery funding, and we have no direct financial support from the RSPCA National Society.
Therefore, we rely entirely on local fundraising and the generosity of our local supporters.
We hope you enjoy browsing our website to see some of the work we do locally and how you can help us ….. become a volunteer …… or fundraise for us …… make a donation …. or even remember us in your will.

We desperately need towels for our animals - clean, but in any condition. If you have any old spares, please drop them in to the office - or call us and we'll collect.
