RSPCA Clwyd and Colwyn branch

RSPCA Clwyd and Colwyn branch The history of the RSPCA

We were founded in a London coffee shop in 1824. Back then we were the SPCA - Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

We are an independent branch practice of the RSPCA separate to the main RSPCA working tirelessly to support animal welfare in our local area by raising money locally and providing subsidised veterinary services through our clinic . 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

. Royal patronage followed in 1837 and Queen Victoria gave permission to add the 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. But we've changed with the times. 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

**UPDATE 10/02/2025 - the ring number is not registered/correct for it to be a wild bird. It’s therefore safe to assume he is domestic and someone is missing him (we assume him as he’s very vocal!).

This little guy was brought into us yesterday by a member of the public who found him/her in Rhyl highstreet. We are fairly sure it’s a European greenfinch or a canary. Seems very comfortable around people and does have a ring. We are unsure if wild or someone is missing him/her? Please call the practice if you have any information 🐦 01745 355798

Gracie is looking for her forever home 🏡❤️

Gracie came into our care through no fault of her own along with her sister Frankie. The pair are not bonded and Gracie much prefers people to other cats. It is for this reason that we are looking to rehome them separately. Gracie is the more reserved of the two and would enjoy being the only cat in the household. Gracie is currently in foster care and hasn’t had any issues adjusting to the dogs in the home. She is a very sweet lady with a lovely nature who will make a great addition to your home.

Please support our adoption scheme and consider Gracie if you’re in a position to offer her a place in your family.

For more information, please call reception 01745 355798.

31/01/2025 - ADOPTED 🥰

Could you offer Cruella a home? Cruella is not keen on people and would need her own space with somewhere warm to sleep. With time, she may come round but as it stands she would be best suited to a yard, small holding or farm where she can be left to her own devices. We are unaware of her background as she cane to us as a stray, but we have managed to spay, vaccinate and microchip her. If you are in a position to offer Cruella a place please contact us 01745 355798

Beautiful Cosmo enjoying some well deserved post op fusses yesterday. Volume up ⬆️ 🐱

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 👩‍⚕️ 🥰

Thank you Adam
