We are an independent branch of the RSPCA and receive no funding from the government and very little direct funding from the National Society.
Any regular monthly donations will automatically go to the National Society unless you specify Wirral & Chester Branch or our Charity Number 219766.
Candy was found as a stray. She is a lovely 1 year old who is looking for a home where she can have a little love and attention. She can be quite nervous around people so need to go to a quiet home with no children. Please give her a chance.
Further to the closure of our Clinic in Livingstone Street, Birkenhead last October, it has now been sold to a local vet and has now re-opened as a private Veterinary Practice. Those wishing to register with Birkenhead Veterinary Centre can contact them directly as the RSPCA do not operate from there any longer.
CAT & DOG FOSTERERS
Due to the impact of the Animal Welfare Act we now receive far more dogs that have significant behavioural or health problems, which means they spend more time with us. Some dogs unfortunately don't cope with kennel life as well as others and this can lead to kennel stress. To help alleviate this problem we look to fosterer's who can provide a home environment whilst we seek a 'forever home'.
We also are looking for Cat Fosterers, we sometimes get either heavily pregnant cats or cats with young kittens that cannot be rehomed until about 9 weeks so, if you think you could look after mum and kittens until this time please contact us. We will provide everything you will need. Also cats sometime require cage rest after an injury and need a foster home whilst they recuperate.
To become a fosterer you need to be an animal lover, who can provide a quiet environment in which the dog/cat can relax and feel at home, as well as learning some social skills that a kennel environment doesn't provide.
The role of the fosterer is therefore unsuitable for anyone who works full-time, has very young children, several animals of their own or is away from home for long periods.
We will of course provide appropriate equipment and pay for any veterinary treatment during the fostering period.
These positions are voluntary but you will have the joy of helping unwanted animals and the knowledge that with your help they have been given a second or third chance of being in a loving home. You only have to look on our website page "Happy Homes" to see what a truly rewarding job it is and what a difference you can make.
The hard part comes when you have to return the animals to us so that they can be re-homed to a new loving family.
If you believe that you can meet these requirements and have time on your hands to offer such care and attention, then please contact Kay or Beth (Animal Centre Managers) - Tel: 0151-638-6318.
