RSPCA in action

We're the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) and we've been here, looking out for animals, since 1824.

It's our vision to work for a world in which all humans respect and live in harmony with all other members of the animal kingdom.

Every day, with the help of our people and our generous supporters, we take steps to achieve our mission. From rescuing a stranded deer to changing the law, we've already achieved so much and come so far.

Take a look around these pages to discover all about our history and heritage and find out what makes us the leading animal welfare charity.

The RSPCA is a registered charity in England and Wales. Charity number 219099.

Pets come in all shapes and sizes, from cats to chinchillas, fish to goats, rabbits to snakes!

Our pets are amazing – they can offer us company, affection, comfort and fun, therefore they deserve our care and respect.
