The RSPCA Sheffield Branch is a separately registered charity to the National RSPCA which is based in Horsham, Sussex. Although we receive some support from the National RSPCA we have to generate all our own running costs ourselves, through local fundraising in the Sheffield area. We do not receive any funding from the government or local authority. The Sheffield branch of the RSPCA is run by volu
nteer trustees and costs over £2000 per day to run. This money has to be raised in the Sheffield area only, by staff and volunteers through fundraising, donations and legacies. We aim to rehome over 1000 animals per year from our shelter and support many more, all of which have come to us via rescue from cruelty or neglect, or that their owners are no longer able to care for them. Many other animals are also offered an emergency short stay until they can go somewhere that better suits their needs. Our job is to offer love, kindness and care, and to rehabilitate and rehome these lovely animals and to raise the funds to do so. The RSPCA Sheffield Branch, based in Attercliffe is made up of:
-The Sheffield Animal Centre which rehomes unwanted, neglected and abandoned cats and dogs. We neuter, vaccinate and microchip every dog and cat which comes to the Centre.
- Our Charity shops, situated around Sheffield are a vital source of regular income for the centre. We have great shops in Broomhill, Chapeltown, Woodseats and a brilliant eBay shop which all sell second-hand and vintage goods. We never put an animal to sleep unless advised to do so by a vet, to prevent further suffering or for severe aggression to people.
