The South London branch of the RSPCA cares for the welfare of animals in our area thanks to the generosity of our wonderful volunteers & supporters.
It is National Marine Week at the moment, a time to reflect on our wonderfully diverse marine wildlife and what we should do to protect it. More of that later. Grey and harbour (or common) seals can be seen all year round largely on the northern coasts of the UK. To the untrained eye, telling the … Continue reading British Wildlife Animal Of The Month – The Seal
This is the story of three cats adopted by Kyle, who takes up the story. "We originally saw Pan advertised for adoption on Instagram and we both immediately knew she would make a great addition to the family. She had just had a litter of kittens, who were already reserved. All we had to do … Continue reading Dust, Pan & Brush The Cats Clean Up
The story of a stray cat named Chips who came to us rather the worse for wear. Everything worked out well this time as a family that had been feeding him have decided to adopt him and pay for his expensive dental and eye treatments. That is so kind hearted of them, with treatments potentially … Continue reading Chipper Chips
The number of stray cats we are seeing is spiralling unfortunately. This could be a symptom of the financial crisis as owners abandon pets they can no longer afford, or decline to pay for neutering and then find themselves with unwanted kittens. It’s a sad state of affairs but abandonment should never be an option. … Continue reading Bob Cat
With stray cats on the increase, we often receive calls from concerned people who see the collarless felines in their gardens. We recently had a group of four sisters come into our care.

This can include assisting owners in need of financial assistance to provide treatment for their special friends. Tiggles was just such a case recently. He needed costly urgent dental treatment, which his owner … Continue reading Tiggles’s Teeth Trauma
Our Animal Welfare Officer reports on an unusual case..... Some of you may already know of Persephone, our very special diabetic cat who we’ve desperately been looking for a home for. She came to us under very sad circumstances which we haven’t before written about in such detail. Very upsettingly, Persephone’s previous owner had locked … Continue reading The Perils of Persephone The Cat
According to the UK Bat Conservation Trust we have 18 different species of bat in the UK, the most common of which is the aptly named common pipistrelle. As we sit out on the warm summer evenings, there is every chance that we will spot a bat at nighttime hunting for moths. It is unlikely … Continue reading British Wildlife Species of the Month, June, the Bat
If you’ve been following us on social media, you might remember Molly the beautiful calico cat we’ve had in foster care for while. We don’t know a great deal about her origin story, but we do know that she was sadly abandoned in Croydon in the middle of December which I can imagine was an … Continue reading Sweet Moggy Molly
We rescued Felix in January as a frightened injured stray. After we treated him, Laura agreed to foster him pending us finding the ideal forever home. Laura takes up the story, “When Felix first arrived in February, he was timid and hid under a dresser with only his tail visible. I couldn’t pet him or … Continue reading Foster Failure Felix
