Informasjon om virksomheten
Skrevet av virksomheten
At the RSPCA, we’re proud to be there for every kind— from pets in need to wild animals who need urgent care. Every day, our dedicated teams work tirelessly to protect animals, prevent cruelty, and offer hope in situations that are often distressing and complex. As a charity, we face difficult decisions about how to use our limited resources, and we must prioritise the most urgent and serious cases of abuse or neglect. This sometimes means we can’t attend every call, no matter how much we wish we could. When we’re unable to be there in person, we’ll help in other ways—offering you support, directing you to organisations that can help fast, and, when it’s safe, empowering you to take an animal to a vet. These shared efforts truly make a difference. We’re incredibly grateful for the kindness, patience, and support shown by the public. Together, we can continue to speak up for animals, protect those in need, and build a better world for every kind.

Great for microvolunteering
I can't speak for their phone lines or response to animal cruelty, which seems like most of the negative reviews. There is unfortunately a lot of animal cruelty in this country and they can only do so much. With microvolunteering, it's great for tasking and has a range of things to get involved in, really good initiative.

Hi Elijah,
Thank you so much for leaving us your review and for sharing your positive experience as a Microvolunteer. We’re truly grateful to all of our volunteers for donating their time to support the welfare of all animals.
Our dedicated teams all care very much about the animals they rescue and are caring for and, as you know, some animals come from such sad situations. We try our very best to help as many animals as we can and it breaks our hearts to know that we can't be everywhere we need to be, all of the time. We’re grateful to people like you who speak out about their positive experiences of the RSPCA, so thank you again.
Best wishes

Honestly, such a pity....
Called them to report animal neglect and they would not investigate, as they said they had a limited number of volunteers available.
Twice, I called them about injured wildlife on the road and they told me to catch the injured animal myself and bring it to a vet. So, without the substantial funding or workforce of a whole organisation, ALONE and with only a cardboard box, I did chase the injured wildlife for hours, catch it and bring it to a vet...
Honestly, I don't see the point in calling them if excuses and pity-me stories are all they provide.
Please don't reply to my review with some fake, hypocritical response. I believe in actions, not words... and, based on my own experiences and the other reviews on here, I can see what appears to be a pattern of justifying inadequate responses while vulnerable animals are left in despicable conditions.
Such a pity...

Microvolunteering
I am a microvolunteer for the RSPCA and I enjoy it very much! The tasks are easy and you can pick what you want to do. The communication is efficient and every opportunity is laid out very plainly. From the tasks I've carried out, I can tell that this organisation care about a range of topics and I'd like to do further volunteering/work for the RSPCA in future.

Useless.
Just shocking. Reported a neighbour who has had nine or ten dogs in about three or four years. Is seen kicking the dogs regularly, then they mostly just dissappear. Recently he's had three British Bulldogs, the first disappeared after a few weeks. One died two weeks ago of 'liver disease'. The last one died yesterday because it 'caught liver disease from the first'??? The dogs are not chipped. He has acquired a brindle XL Bully puppy now, around two weeks ago. The last XL Bully escaped after killing his two Frenchies, armed police responded and he was rounded up and disappeared by the owner.
So at best; he is physically abusive. Neglects to get them chipped, medical care and registered. (You can't get XL dogs anymore, it's illegal.) At worst he is a prolific animal hoarder and abuser, who kills them when there is a problem or he's bored.
RSPCA:
Didn't listen.
Said there wasn't enough evidence to investigate.
When I said don't you investigate to uncover evidence? She said no? Apparently that's not how it works? When I pointed out a visit to ask him where the dogs are and which vets they were taken to would uncover lies. Much like the 'catching of liver disease' nonsense. I was again told that's not how they work.
I would say they would only come out in extreme circumstances where there's an open and shut case. Where they would undoubtedly be too late. Perhaps one they could highlight and fundraiser off?
No help at all, uncaring, annoying, a day late and a dollar short. I will never donate to them again.

Amazing for microvolunteering
A really nice organisation - volunteering with them is an amazing experience. The only critical feedback I have is that I wish their call line was a bit more informative. Me and my friend found an injured pigeon and weren't able to get any essential advice from the RSPCA help centre.

Hi Elisha,
Thank you so much for your lovely review and for volunteering with us. The RSPCA is incredibly grateful for all of our dedicated volunteers who offer their time and support to help us create a kinder world for all animals.
Thank you also for trying to help the injured pigeon you found and for leaving your feedback about your experience contacting us. We’re so sorry you did not find your call helpful.
We truly understand how distressing it is to see an animal in need. In order to help as many animals as possible we will always ask people to take action to help small sick or injured wild animals themselves if they can by safely transporting them to a vet, rather than waiting for the RSPCA. That’s because it’s the quickest way for thousands of wild animals to get the urgent help they need. Every time a kind member of the public helps a wild animal, it frees up our specialist rescuers to reach animals suffering from cruelty and neglect.
You can find further information on our website advising how to help a sick or injured bird, including how to contain them. We hope that you find this useful:

Thank you again for your valuable feedback.

Rang the RSPCA about a sick cat that…
Rang the RSPCA about a sick cat that appeared feeding alongside the 20 or so feral/abandoned cats that I feed.
This one is friendly so I rang them hoping for some help. Their reaction was basically the problem was my responsibility and that I should catch it and take it to a vets. They do not have the staff to deal with these sorts of problems.
The tear jerking Tv advertisements that show a concerned officer turning up and taking the poor animal away to treat it are just a cynical way to receive donations.
This is the 2nd and last bad experience with them and I will not waste my time contacting them.
They did contact me back to see if I would like to set up a monthly direct debit to enable them to collect more money for not helping.

Hi John,
Thank you for your review and sharing your concerns regarding the cat you reported. We truly appreciate you looking out for an animal you believed was in distress.
We’re deeply sorry your experience didn’t reflect the care and compassion you expected. Every animal matters to us, and we’re working hard to improve how we communicate our limitations and provide guidance even when we can’t attend in person.
Please know that every report we receive matters to us. As a charity with limited resources, we have to prioritise the most urgent and severe cases of cruelty and neglect. This means there are times when we’re not able to take the action people hope for, even though we’ve carefully assessed the information provided.
That doesn’t mean your report wasn’t important — it helps us build a clearer picture of animal welfare issues in local communities, and we’re grateful that you took the time to speak up for an animal in need.
If you ever have concerns again, please do continue to contact us. We’re here to help, and we truly appreciate your support and compassion for animals.

Volunteering for the RSPCA through the Wildlife Friends
Volunteering for the RSPCA through the wildlife friends has shown me what a big impact this charity has on our environment and the local wildlife. The great variety of volunteering tasks available shows how extensively the RSPCA work to improve all animal welfare across multiple aspects. Tasks have ranged from improving my garden to accommodate wildlife, to helping to count and record species for data, to advocating online about their cause and goals. From doing just some of these activities, there were obvious differences made with many positive outcomes I noticed.
This charity really does make a huge difference and uses lots of effort. While tackling all these animal welfare issues across the UK is challenging, it is clear the RSPCA will not give up and this deserves recognition and appreciation.

Don't really care about animals
We had an injured fox in our garden - heavy breathing, trying to move, basically very much in pain but still alive. We call the RSPCA and they just say watch it for a couple hours see what happens even though it obviously was not going to get better. The fox ended up slowly dying after 2.5 hours.

RSPA left a letter saying I was not in and needed to talk to me about a report on my Cats
I have no cats or any pets at all
When I phoned the number on the letter it took an age to get a call handler who told me he could not give me any info on the report and seemed not to believe me that I had no pets
I asked if an injured animal had been seen at my address so I could look out for it but he seemed he could not be bothered and said some one might call me some time he did not know when. If they were concerned for Cat I feel they should have told me what report was concerning having sent an Agent to my address. It all felt like a box ticking exercise.

Just up dating the review having had the reply
I would like to make the reader aware the note instructed me to call the call centre at the cost of my time and phone bill ,it took 30 minutes just to get through when as stated in the reply the call handlers can't talk about the case
What was the point of getting me to call?
Up date to the new reply
Seems the RSPCA can reply to reviews almost immediately but not animal welfare issues so shows where the funds are prioritised. as to the new reply
The call was for over 30 min at national rate £ 4.80 plus connection fee for something that could be done on line for FREE poor service

Hi Liam
Thank you for feeding back to us and I’m sorry that your experience was not what you expected. If you’d like to fill out the website complaints form, our National Control Centre team will check how your call was handled and respond to you by email. Here’s the link:
https://www.rspca.org.uk/utilities/contactus/complaints/form
It’s worth mentioning that call handlers aren’t able to give out information from the officers’ database. They’re not officers themselves and when someone rings in response to a card or letter left by an officer, they log the information on the database to make the officer aware but can’t say exactly when the officer will ring back. This is because officers’ workloads are subject to constantly changing priorities due to us constantly receiving new reports of urgent animal welfare concerns.
With regard to your update, if an officer visits but a homeowner is out, depending on the type of concern reported to us they may leave a card or letter asking the person to call. The person’s number is then passed to the officer so they can ring back and arrange a visit.
Due to the volume of calls we’re receiving, unfortunately at times it may be necessary to queue to get through to a call handler or to try again at a less busy time. Calls to 03 numbers cost no more than a national rate call to an 01 or 02 number and must count towards any inclusive minutes in the same way as 01 and 02 calls. These rules apply to calls from any type of line.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes
