Happy 30th Birthday, RSPCA Cornwall Branch!

Poppy from the RSPCA Cornwall Branch came to talk to us about the charity’s work. This organisation is a self-funded rehabilitation and rehoming centre, relying on the kindness of the local community to give animals in need a second chance.

Every year, the branch cares for hundreds of cats and dogs across Cornwall who have experienced cruelty, neglect or abandonment. Animals receive daily care, veterinary treatment, and help to rebuild trust and confidence. When they are ready, they are carefully matched with new homes where they can thrive. With community support, the branch helps reduce suffering and improve animal welfare across Cornwall.

The RSPCA Cornwall Branch runs the Venton Animal Centre near St Columb. It is a completely self-funded, independent branch and receives no automatic funding from the national RSPCA.

We heard some wonderful success stories about dogs and cats who are now living their best lives.

Have you ever thought about fostering an animal? It’s a great way of caring for an animal without all the expense. The RSPCA remains the legal owner, but you can provide a foster home for as little as a few days or for much longer.
