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.

Betty has gained so much confidence!
This shows a huge transformation since Betty was adopted last year! 🥰❤️

Betty, who was known as Nala, came into our care in July last year after her owner could no longer care for her. A month later, she was found by her forever humans after being relocated to Pet Barn.

Her adopters, Lily and Venessa have sent an adoption update that shocked us all!

Venessa said, "she was really shy and nervous! She did not greet us, or came around for pats like other bubbly, playful cats we have met. She just sat in the corner, and looked a bit cautious." They were prepared to accept Betty and love her in spite of her shyness, but this subdued nature didn’t last long.

"It took only couple of days (we followed some suggestions about settling cat to their new home) for her to wander around the whole house like a boss and come through. She actually likes hanging out with us, sitting together on the sofa and getting pats. She is so playful and cheeky. She does zoomies, especially in the morning." 😺😂

Betty's true playful nature has certainly come out since she was adopted, and we're so grateful to her new owners for giving Betty a forever home where she feels comfortable enough to come out of her shell.

"We’d love to highlight that adopting Betty has added joys to our lives. And perhaps to encourage others to take a chance on adopting what looks like ‘introverted’ or shy ones." 😃

Thank you, Lily and Venessa, for this amazing story of transformation. We are so grateful that you opened your hearts and home to this shy girl and are living your happily ever after! 😍🐾

Fluffy the Rottweiler is ready for a home! Will you be the one who adopts him? 😍

Also known as Mr Fluff or Fluffmeister, this one-year-old Rottie can't wait for his forever person to walk in and choose him! 🥰

He sadly hasn't been coping well in the shelter environment - he much prefers the creature comforts of a caring home. All he wants is a home where he can have endless toys (he is obsessed with them), treats, and cuddles. 🐶

Fluffy would do best where:
🐾 he is the only dog in the home (but he can have outside doggy friends in the future!)
🐾 older, dog-savvy children, pending a meet (he can be a bit boisterous!)
🐾 full-time workers (as long as Fluffy's had plenty of physical and mental enrichment!)

Think he'd be paw-fect for you? Come and meet him tomorrow at our Malaga shelter - gates open at 9am! And if you can't adopt him yourself, please help us spread the word! 🥰

His profile can be found via the 🔗 in the comments. 👇

PLEASE keep your cat contained to your property!

'Cat containment' means keeping your cat contained on your property at all times, preventing them from roaming during the night and day. They can either be kept strictly indoors or have access to a secure outdoor cat run enclosure.

Cats who are allowed to roam freely are more susceptible to the following risks:
🐾 Being hit by a car
🐾 Being attacked by a dog or other wildlife or pets
🐾 Acquiring a serious infection
🐾 Eating toxic plants or poisonous substances
🐾 Being stolen or abused
🐾 Picking up ticks or fleas
🐾 Being bitten by a snake
🐾 Becoming pregnant / impregnating other cats.

The last point is very important, as shelters and pounds across the state feel this strain, especially during kitten season. At the moment, we have 113 cats and kittens in care, placing a great strain on our resources while we wait for them to become ready for rehoming.

Please, if you're able to, keep your cat contained to your property. It's safer for them, the environment, and will save you a lot of heartache in the long run.

For tips on how to contain your cat, how to transition your cat from outdoor to indoor, and how to keep your cat happy indoors, head to the 🔗 in the comments!

In the market for a confident, loving, handsome cat? Meet Slinky Boi! 😺

This cute two-year-old floof came to us as an unclaimed pound stray from the City of Joondalup early December last year and is finally ready for a home.

Oh, and did we mention he's a tripod kitty? Yes, this cat may be missing his back leg, but all he truly misses is having a family to call his own. Could this be with you? 🥰

He's suitable for first-time cat owners, can live with kids (pending a meet), other animals (if introduced appropriately), and full-time workers. Honestly, we don't know why he's still here. He's so paw-fect. 😍

You can meet him at our Malaga shelter as early as 9am tomorrow morning! He can't wait to meet you. His profile can be found via the 🔗 in the comments.

📢 URGENT call for foster carers! 📢

We recently issued a desperate plea for towels and blankets, because of a large influx of dogs that came into our care over Christmas, and we’re so happy to share that the WA community answered our call for help with overwhelming compassion. We can’t thank you enough! We received so many donations in just a few days that we have been able to fully stock our shelves with the towels and blankets we need for the dogs in our care.

But now we need your help again.

We need over 100 foster carers for so-called designer breed dogs, such as golden retrievers and spaniels, who came into our care over Christmas. 😔

These dogs need loving homes in which to de-stress, learn how to socialise, and recover. 🐶

Most of these dogs have limited exposure to people and being handled, so are not suitable for first time dog owners. They will need some additional care and long-term training. Many don't know how to walk on a lead yet and they may have never been in a “normal home”. This means they might be scared of everyday things that we take for granted, like the sound of the washing machine, and they are definitely not ready for the dog park or any busy places yet. They will need to take it slowly as they learn how to integrate into a family home environment.

These will likely be long-term foster commitments. We will pay for everything you need while they are on foster including food, vet checks and other supplies. All we ask is that you are able to bring them to us regularly in Malaga for scheduled treatment and vet checks. 🥰

The dogs do have some infectious diseases and while they’re receiving medical treatment to ensure they are a low risk of infecting others, if you already have a dog at home, your dog will need to be fully vaccinated before you can foster one of these dogs. This is something that will be explained in more detail during the application process.

Please, are you able to help by applying to foster or by sharing this post?

The compassion of the WA community never ceases to amaze us, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your continued support and care for WA’s most vulnerable animals.

Our first adoption update for the year, and we couldn't have asked for a cuter one! 🥰

Peppa, formerly known as Wednesday, was rehomed late in 2021. Her owner reached out to us via Instagram, and we just had to share the update with you! 🥰

"Peppa came to us after her litter was found living with a few kittens and chickens as a puppy. She's the most gentle, obedient and calm dog who settled in with her brother so quickly. She loves to sneak onto the couch when we're not watching.

"We call her our 'camper chair' because she folds her body and legs away into the weirdest shapes. 😆

"Her favourite toy is a football and as soon as you come home from work, she greets you with her footy in her mouth ready to play!

"We're so grateful to have her in our lives. Thank you for all that you do to help dogs find their forever homes."

We are so glad you're living the absolute best life, Peppa! Thank you, Meg, for adopting her - please give her one big cuddle from all of us at RSPCA WA! 🐶🥹

06/01/2025

Our dogs are waiting for someone to adopt them! 🥺 Check out our website (🔗 in comments) to see the adoption profiles of these dogs and come to our animal care centre in Malaga to meet them. 🥰🐾 All dogs deserve a second chance and a loving family. Help by giving a home to a rescue animal this week. 🩵💚

WA - you are simply the best. 💖

In case you missed it, last Friday we put out a desperate plea to the public asking for much-needed towel and blanket donations, as we were burning through our supplies due to some of our record 445 animals in care battling infectious diseases. We only had enough to last the week - reserves were the lowest they'd ever been.

We have been floored by the response.

Pictured below is just a fraction of the hundreds of towels and blankets we've received over the weekend from kindhearted people. This doesn't include what was collected at participating Vetwest Animal Hospitals clinics, as well as the online donations that have also started to trickle in.

Given this, we believe we'll have more than enough now to care for the animals! 🥰❤️ Participating Vetwest locations will cease to collect donations by their respective closing times this Thursday to give our volunteers enough time to do a final pickup of donated items on Friday.

From the staff, volunteers, and of course the beloved animals here at RSPCA WA - thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Words cannot describe the sheer gratitude we feel. 🥰❤️

Lana's been waiting so patiently for a home now. It's been 160 days...

Lana is a two-year-old mastiff who came to us all the way from Bunbury late last July. She's very sweet, playful, and has the best smile around! We really thought she'd get a home before Christmas, especially since we featured her in our annual 12 Strays of Christmas adoption push, however she's had very little interest. 😔

This snuggly girl:
🐾 knows basic skills and loves her treats!
🐾 can live with older children, pending a meet.
🐾 prefers part-time workers.
🐾 would do best in a home where she's the only dog (but can have doggy friends in the future!)

Think she's the dog for you? Come in and meet her at our Malaga shelter. Gates open at 9am today! 🥰🐾

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

‼️‼️TOWELS AND BLANKETS URGENTLY NEEDED ‼️‼️

We have a record-breaking 445 animals in care at the moment, many of whom have infectious diseases. To reduce the spread of disease and prevent a site-wide outbreak, we've had to throw out towels and blankets once they're soiled and we are rapidly burning through our reserves. We sadly only have enough linens to last until next week!

Please take a peek into your linen cupboards this weekend. If you have any towels in your home that you no longer use, as well as blankets, please consider donating them.

You can make donations to our Malaga Animal Care Centre (108 Malaga Drive, Malaga), as well as the below Vetwest Animal Hospitals locations who have graciously volunteered to act as drop-off points for donations.

🐾 Vetwest Mandurah
🐾 Vetwest Rockingham
🐾 Vetwest Armadale-Byford
🐾 Vetwest Canningvale
🐾 Vetwest Clarkson
🐾 Vetwest Currambine
🐾 Vetwest Midland

Thank you so much to everyone who can make a kind donation, as well as Vetwest Animal Hospitals for being such an invaluable partner and helping us help the animals. 🐶❤️

Meet Hot Wheels, the kelpie cross Chihuahua who can't wait to find a home! 😍

Hot Wheels is the paw-fect dog for families and first-time dog owners - he's fun, playful, and oh so handsome!

This two-year-old boy can:
🐾live with children, pending a meet.
🐾live with another appropriately-sized dog, pending a meet.
🐾can live with full-time workers, if given a sufficient settling-in period.

We do not have any history of him living with a cat.

If you think you have the best home for this tiny bundle of joy, come in and meet him tomorrow! Our gates open at 9am. His adoption profile can be found via the 🔗 in the comments. 👇

Before arriving to our Malaga shelter, please ensure that all family members who live in the house can attend, as well as any dogs who will be living with Hot Wheels. A meet and greet with everyone prior to adoption is required. We will not be putting him on hold, and he will go to the first home who is compatible. 🥰

We're celebrating the new year by showing everyone our three most popular adoption posts, all with happy endings! 🥰

🥉 Coming in third is Squid, the loveable cat who stole hearts last June. The sweet two-year-old black cat had just returned from a short stint in a foster care home and was rapidly shutting down in the shelter. Our hearts broke for this sweet cat, and our Facebook audience rallied together to help find him the paw-fect home. 🐈‍⬛

🥈 Second place goes to another cat named Aysha, who captured the attention of many last June as well! The two-year-old Burmese cat had very little life experience and was very nervous, but her post was shared far and wide. She found the best home and we couldn't be happier for her. 🥰

🥇 Lastly, our first place goes to none other than Sparky. During the Easer long weekend last year, a kind human found 13-year-old Sparky wandering along a highway in Margaret River. She took him straight to a vet. However, given the clear signs of neglect on this Border Collie, a call was made to one of our inspectors. Inspector Genna brought sweet Sparky to our shelter. While we were able to successfully treat his skin, flea and fur issues, we sadly could not save one of his eyes. However, he never let his partial blindness stop him!

His post EXPLODED with support and the very next day, he found a loving home where he is still being spoiled rotten by his paw-rents and siblings (both furry and non-furry!) 😍

We cannot do a thing without your support - thank you as always for helping us give fairy-tale endings for animals just like Squid, Aysha, and Sparky. Here's to another amazing year of incredible welfare outcomes in 2025. ❤️

Don't miss out on these pet safety tips for tonight's fireworks!

Do you have a petrified pooch, a skittish horse or even a scaredy cat?

New Year’s Eve fireworks can be the scariest time for WA pets, with many left trembling and traumatised, and some taking off to try and escape the noise, becoming lost or in danger.

Here are some tips to keep pets safe and comfortable. 🎆

We really thought Strawberry, who has been in our care since 7 November, would have found a home in time for Christmas... but this sadly was not the case. 😔 Will you give this innocent puppy the home she's been waiting so patiently for?

Strawberry the six-month-old Staffy has nothing but love and affection to give. Just like her namesake, she is sweet as can be with a dash of zest to keep things exciting!

She can live with another dog, older kids, and full-time workers - given her compatibility, we thought she'd be snatched right up. But she's had such little interest... 😔

She would suit a home where she can continue to learn about the big wide world around her. Plenty of toys, walks, and socialisation would be ideal. Strawberry would greatly benefit from ongoing puppy training to improve her socialisation, as she can be a bit excitable and boisterous. 🥰

Think she would make the paw-fect addition to your family? Please come to our Malaga shelter tomorrow - gates open at 9am!

You can learn more about her via the 🔗 in the comments. 👇

They may have been abandoned, abused, and neglected but the animals at RSPCA WA haven’t been forgotten this Christmas. 💙

It turns out they were all on the nice list! 🥰

Last night, Santa Paws delivered scrumptious treats and a new toy to every single dog, cat, guinea pig, rat, rabbit, duck, and goat at our Animal Care Centre in Malaga.

Just look at these happy faces! 🥹

The animals will spend the rest of the day with the ten staff and 21 volunteers who have given up their day to serve up over 800 meals and to play with the new toys gifted by Santa Paws!

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎅🏻🎄
