About Us

Here you can find all the information you need about the RSPCA Northamptonshire Branch.

Branch Information

The Northamptonshire Branch of the RSPCA is a self-financing organisation committed to providing animal welfare services in the area.

The Branch is affiliated to the National RSPCA, but is a registered charity responsible for raising its own funds locally. All money raised by the branch through fundraising, house to house collections, sponsored events and our charity shops is spent on Northamptonshire animals.

Aims and Objectives

Our key aim is to deliver animal welfare and to alleviate suffering. Our objectives are many fold and in support of our key aim we are involved in many areas of animal care.

We support and assist the National organisation in their work around the county: we often take over and pick up the pieces….

After the National Inspectorate have either acquired or removed animals from danger or neglect. We ensure that animals placed into our care are restored to full health and socialised, ready for re-homing with suitable adopters. We ensure by 'home visiting' that people adopting our animals understand the commitment required.
We assist people on 'means-tested' benefits with some of the costs of neutering and emergency veterinary treatment, to make sure some of the more vulnerable animals that otherwise would not get to see a vet when in need, receive the treatment they need.

We provide a subsidised Pet Microchipping service throughout the area and at regular public events. We also Campaign and work on many of the issues raised by the National RSPCA.

All of this work is both very expensive and time consuming, we are a registered charity responsible for raising our own funds locally and rely entirely on the generosity and goodwill of local supporters and animal lovers. If you would like to help us in anyway please register with us completely free of charge and without obligation.

The Branch holds bi-monthly meetings, which are a good opportunity to see the full range of activities taking place in your local area. See our Events page for more details.
