RSPCA Clwyd and Colwyn branch

RSPCA Clwyd and Colwyn branch We are a branch of the RSPCA raising money locally to support our animal welfare work. But we've changed with the times.

The history of the RSPCA

We were founded in a London coffee shop in 1824. The men present knew they were creating the world’s first animal welfare charity, but they couldn’t have imagined the size and shape that the charity would become today. Back then we were the SPCA - Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Royal patronage followed in 1837 and Queen Victoria gave permission to add t

he royal R in 1840, making us the RSPCA as we’re known worldwide today. Moving with the times

When we were founded, our focus was working animals, such as ‘pit ponies’, who were worked down the coal mines. During the First and Second World Wars we worked to help the millions of animals enlisted to serve alongside British, Commonwealth and Allied forces. And, our work with pets that we’re best known for today, only developed with the trend to keep them. The law

We've always been influential in forming and improving animal welfare law. In 1822, two years before we were founded, ‘Martin’s Act’ was passed. It was the very first animal welfare law and it forbade ‘the cruel and improper treatment of cattle’. Thirteen years on, in 1835, and ‘Pease’s Act’ consolidated this law. The prohibition of cruelty was extended to dogs and other domestic animals, bear-baiting and cock-fighting was forbidden, and it insisted on better standards for slaughter houses. Other successes along the way have included laws for lab animals, the abolition of fur farming in the UK, the ban of fox hunting with dogs and the animal welfare act. Today we are still changing the law - find out how. A nation of animal lovers

The greatest shift across the times has been in attitude. In the UK we’re known as ‘a nation of animal lovers’ but it wasn’t always that way. When we were founded it was a challenge to get the British public to recognise animals as sentient beings - and not just commodities for food, transport or sport. It’s inspiring to think how much more of a difference we can make

Meet Edith 🥰. Edith is the mother of Panda, Peach, Cheeto and Tink who have recently been featured on our page. Edith is now looking for her forever home. The SWEETEST most affectionate girl who just wants company and fusses. Edith came to us through no fault of her own with her 4 kittens and was suspected to be pregnant. Fortunately we established Edith was infact not pregnant and so she has now been neutered and in search of a loving family. She is staying with us at the surgery and is available to meet, subject to request. She will be fully vaccinated, chipped and up-to-date with flea and worm as part of our adoption process. Please call reception and speak with Skakira for more information 01745 355798

We Currently have 3 babies in our care who are looking for their forever homes. There are also 2 more on the way into us. We believe them to be around 7 weeks old. Spot, who is the smallest, is a male. Felix and Oreo are both females. Spot is a little shy but enjoys a fuss once comfortable. Felix and Oreo are both super confident babies and both adore loads of fuss and attention. All are fully litter trained and can either go individually or together. Vaccinations etc will be administered once they are old enough (9 weeks). They are up-to-date with Flea and worming. If you are in a position to offer any of these guys a home then please contact reception and ask to speak with Shakira (Monday-Thursday) 01745 355798 🥰

The answer was: a juvenile cormorant Juvenile cormorants can vary in appearance, with some being brown and others being very white. They often have a whitish throat and belly, and may have brownish streaking on the edges. They also have VERY sharp beaks - as you can see 👀

Time to say goodbye to Mr Grebe. Eager to get back to nature after a short stay with us and some TLC this week. Such an endearing creature who we enjoyed caring for very much 👩‍⚕️ 🥰
