RSPCA WA

We are WA’s leading animal welfare charity organisation, preventing cruelty and promoting kindness.

When animals are let down by their owners, left helpless, traumatised and alone, they rely on RSPCA WA to step in and give them a second chance at life, love and happiness. Since 1892, RSPCA WA has worked tirelessly to prevent animal cruelty. We have rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed animals of many kinds and given them a second chance. We have educated the community and lobbied the Government to

promote animal welfare and prevent cruelty. Our Mission:
Lead the improvement of animal welfare in WA through prevention and intervention programs, advocacy, and education. We do this through:
🐾 Promoting and enforcing animal welfare legislation and driving legislative change
🐾 Educating and influencing the community
🐾 Achieving organisational excellence and delivering best practice animal care. At RSPCA WA we are dedicated to improving the treatment of animals because we believe it strengthens our society, enhances our lives and contributes to a better world. We have made great strides towards our vision, but there is still a long way to go. RSPCA WA would simply not exist without individuals and organisations who share our vision. We rely on the generosity of animal lovers to contribute around $9 million each year, the majority of what it costs to carry out our animal protection work. In order to overcome the challenges of increasing demand, rising costs and a vast geographical service area, it is critical that RSPCA WA continue to grow its supporter base. Through personal donations and gifts, and corporate fundraising initiatives, as well as a calendar of events, we will work to connect with people who want to protect and save Western Australia’s most vulnerable animals.

Please keep your cat safely contained to your property!

Cat containment means keeping your cat on your property at all times—day and night. This can be done by keeping them indoors or giving them access to a secure outdoor enclosure (i.e. a cat run).

Free-roaming cats face serious risks, including:
🐾 Being hit by a car
🐾 Injuring or killing native wildlife
🐾 Being attacked by dogs or other animals
🐾 Contracting infections or diseases
🐾 Eating toxic plants or substances
🐾 Being stolen, lost, or abused
🐾 Picking up fleas or ticks
🐾 Snake bites
🐾 Unwanted pregnancy or causing overbreeding

That last one is especially critical. Shelters across the state are overwhelmed—right now, we’re caring for 78 cats and kittens, stretching our resources to the limit. And the surrenders aren't slowing down.

Keeping your cat contained protects them, our environment, and reduces the strain on rescue services.

Please help spread the word — share this with friends, family, and your local community.

There’s only one thing that breaks our hearts more than seeing an older animal come into our care — and that’s when one is returned to us.

You might remember Tuppence, the sweet 12-year-old cat we featured around this time last year on our socials. After finally finding what seemed like her forever home, she was heartbreakingly returned.

It's been a confusing and difficult time for her. Our animal attendants and volunteers are doing everything they can to make her feel safe and loved, but we can see her hope fading.

Tuppence deserves more. She deserves someone to choose her — not for a moment, but for life. Someone who’ll offer her a cozy lap on a rainy day, or a sunny window where she can nap in peace. After all she’s been through, she just wants stability, kindness, and a quiet place to call home.

If you think you could give Tuppence the loving retirement home she’s been dreaming of, please come meet her. She might not rush over to greet you — and who could blame her? — but with a little patience and gentleness, she’ll show you just how much love she still has to give. ❤️

Her adoption profile can be found via the 🔗 in the comments. 👇

Will you give a puppy a toy? 🥺

In the last week we've had an additional 30 puppies come into our care and, heartbreakingly, they don't have a lot of toys to play with. We're burning through our supplies and soon, these pups won't have any toys to call their own. 😔

It's so important that these pups, at such a critical time in their development, get the enrichment and fun they need.

Please, if you have any spare toys or enrichment toys (like lick mats, KONG toys, snufflemats, slow feeder bowls, and food puzzles) around the home that you no longer use, our shelter animals would really appreciate it.

You can also order online from places such as Target or Kmart and get them delivered right to our doors if you can't make a donation to the shelter.

Thank you in advance! 🥰

Drop off location: 108 Malaga Drive, Malaga.

All other strategies to woo potential adopters have failed, so Juno's employing something new - tongue bloops. 👅

Nine times out of 10, if you visit her in her condo she will do a cute meow and poke her tiny tongue out. She's adorable, and we have our paws crossed this helps her find the home of her dreams (preferably one with owners who love taking selfies, because otherwise that 😜 face would go to waste!)

If you'd like to learn more about Juno, head to her profile in the comments. 👇 Better yet, come in and meet her! We're open from 9am - 4pm today. She can't wait to see you! 😝

We need your help this .

It’s been another busy few weeks in the shelter and the surrenders aren’t slowing down. We’ve just received a large number of cats who aren’t coping so well in our care. More are on the way. We've also got several cats who are in protective custody (we can't show their faces) who need a loving, caring home to live in while their owners are being prosecuted. 😔

Most of these new cats carry feline coronavirus, so we're searching for foster homes without any other cats while they recover.

When fostering, we will give you everything you need including bedding, pet food, bowls, toys, vet care and medications. The only thing you will need to provide is plenty of love and a warm home. 🥰

If you have space in your home and your heart for a sick and homeless cat in need, please put through a foster application today. We will pair you with a suitable furry friend as soon as we can. And, if you can't foster, please help spread the word by tagging someone who might be able to help or share this post to your local community groups.

Our foster application form can be found via the 🔗 in the comments.

From a heartbreaking past to a heartwarming present – Marnie’s transformation is nothing short of incredible. 💛

If you've been following our socials, by now you'd have heard of Marnie, a dog who faced awful neglect and spent a lot of time with us rehabilitating from her ordeal. You can see how poorly she was when we first met her - she was skin and bone. 💔

We've just received an adoption update from Marnie's new owners and we are just so happy for her. She now lives her best life with her loving family – and her greyhound brother, Eric, who helped her settle in quickly.

Despite her rough start, Marnie showed her true colours fast: clever, cheeky, and endlessly affectionate.

“She’s much more curious and intelligent than Eric,” says her adopter, Jessica. “She’s upended spice racks, eaten the TV remote, drenched the house in oat milk, and stolen a full bag of dental treats... we’ve had to learn how to Marnie-proof the house!”

These days, her mischief is reserved for toys (and the odd shoe), and her daily routine includes bird-watching from the deck, zoomies, snuggles, and bedtime in her favourite PJs. 💕

Jessica says, “Marnie is a total stage 5 clinger who thinks she’s a lap dog, even though she’s 34kg. Her tail wags up and down instead of side to side – it’s like she was assembled wrong, but in the cutest way.”

Marnie’s story is a powerful reminder of why rescue matters. “She’s so sweet and kind-natured – you’d never guess what she’s been through. We can't imagine our lives without her.”

💚 Every animal deserves a second chance, just like Marnie.

Help more animals like Marnie find their happy ending – make a tax-deductible donation to before 30 June. You can donate by heading to the 🔗 in the comments. 👇

🚨 Pigeon beaten with golf club at WA minesite – $126,000 in fines handed down. 🚨

Three men pleaded guilty to animal cruelty today after a Snapchat video showing a pigeon being struck multiple times with a golf club was reported to us.

Kalgoorlie Magistrates Court heard the bird was alive throughout the attack and discarded while still moving. The caption of the video read "may his soul rest in peace [rolling on the floor laughing emoji]” and the trio were heard laughing at their actions.

This sentencing outcome is profoundly significant and we hope the message is loud and clear to those who think that cruelty towards animals is okay.

Thanks to the member of the public who reported this senseless act of cruelty, justice has been served. 🙌

Everyone has a bad haircut every now and then. Kara's worried nobody will adopt her because of her's... will you prove her wrong? ❤️

World, meet Kara the Persian cat! She came into our care after her original owners could no longer keep up with her grooming requirements. The poor girl had some tangles that lead to her fresh, trimmed-down look.

Don't worry, she's nice and toasty in her climate-controlled cat condo, with plenty of blankets and bedding for her to choose from.

She's only a year old and loves a smooch and snuggle.

If you'd like to learn more, please head to the 🔗 in the comments. If you can't take her on, help us spread the word by telling your friends and family, and sharing to your local community groups. ❤️

Need something to make you smile? We've got you covered with this beautiful adoption update.

We were so delighted to see this adoption update from Free the Hounds president Mel! ❤️🥹

As you can see from the pictures, sweet cat Hugo is living his best life with her new owner and furry friends since his adoption earlier this year. Mel sent through a heart-warming update and we just HAD to share it with everyone!

"A typical day for Hugo is breakfast with his two cat sisters Holly and Scout. This is after he's spent the morning roaming around the house, talking to everyone, asking for pats and food.

"In the afternoon, he will settle with Gina the greyhound and have a sleep on one of her beds, my bed, or my daughter's until dinner time.

"We already have so many fond memories with him - like the first time he cuddled with our other cats and Gina. We knew he felt safe and accepted, it was so lovely to see.

"He's such a goofball - he has us laughing every single day. He talks nonstop and if my daughter makes a cat sound, he responds to her from wherever in the house she is.

"This cat is the best cat I've ever encountered. We love him so much. Thank you for saving him so we got to meet him! 🥰❤️"

We're so happy that Hugo is happy! Thank you again Mel for giving him such a wonderful second chance - please give him a big pat and cuddle from all of us at RSPCA WA. 🥰❤️

We’re at cat-pacity — our cattery is full. 😭

Right now, our cattery is filled with cats and kittens in need, and the worst part is, there are more waiting to come in every day. 💔

A later-than-usual kitten season and several large-scale cruelty cases have pushed us to the limit — we’re running out of space, and fast.

If you’ve been thinking about adding a furry friend to your family, please don’t wait. Visit our website or animal care centre and meet the incredible felines waiting to steal your heart. 💙

We know that for many, life is tough at the moment.

At RSPCA WA, we believe that everyone deserves access to compassionate care —people and pets. That’s why we run Community Action Days across WA, to reach out with kindness, not judgment. To stand beside people who love their pets but simply can’t afford the basics right now.

From free vet checks and microchipping to flea and worm treatments, food, and advice — our team is there to help.

Our Community Action Days are run across the state throughout the year, with the next one happening tomorrow in Clarkson.

To keep up to date on when and where our upcoming Community Action Days are being held, head to the link in the comments or give us a follow on our socials.

Together, we can build stronger, kinder communities — one wagging (or purring) tail at a time. 💙

📸 Here's a happy snap from our Community Action Day last week in Balga with Inspector Bridie. 🐶
