Providing shelter, love and care to cats and dogs everyday. Please see email below for queries.

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 ยฃ2000 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.
As England kick off here's a video of Zeus getting into the football spirit! โฝ๏ธ๐ฅ
We may be bias but we think his ball control, dribbling ๐คค, speed and cuteness is better than most footballers around at the moment ๐คฃ๐
๐ซถ
It won't suprise you that he's not a fan of passing the ball onto other players ๐คทโโ๏ธ and really enjoys being the star of the show ๐คฃ๐๐๐
Our Princess M is here to let you all know that she's trying out for England soon ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐คฃโฝ๏ธ๐ฅ
But also to remind you of the DANGERS of the heat and your pets!
Please please please be so careful with all pets during these higher temperatures- we are reaching temperatures at times that alot of people aren't used to and can't cope with so think about your furry family members too ๐ฅบ๐ฅต๐ก
Also remember that heat is the intensity of a tempreture - it's not measured by the sun... just because the sun isn't out doesn't mean the tempreture isn't too warm for safe exercise and fun ๐ฅบ๐ and that while they are inside and at home it's your responsibility to ensure you have measures in place to keep them comfortable, happy and cool inside too!
We have said this so many times before ๐
Heat stroke is DEADLY. Your dog will not die from missing a midday walk but they may if you walk them. ๐ And your cats! Where possible keep them indoors during the peak heat! With little shade, extremely hot tarmac and not alot of water sources this kind of heat is dangerous for them too! Not alot of people think of cats struggling but with the temperatures predicted we know they will!
- Avoid peak heat times! Walkies early in the morning and late in the evening are best! ๐ถโโ๏ธ๐ถโโ๏ธ
- Plenty of cooling measures available to your dogs AND cats! Cooling mats, cooling bandanas - close the curtains in one room to create shade and a cooler room... paddling pools, no unsupervised garden time, frozen kongs or licki mats, plenty of fresh cool water... there's so many fun cooling ideas out there! ๐ฅฐ
- Where possible, even when avoiding peak heat go for a walk where there's shaded areas and ideally rural - avoid street walking to reduce the risk of burning your dogs pads- concrete can and does hold onto heat very well! ๐
- Absolutely do not leave your dog or cat in a hot car.๐ You can loose them in minutes ๐
- Pop suncream on those light ears and noses! Just like us, especially lighter animals- they can burn without being in direct sunlight. ๐
- Be the fun police if you have to! ๐ฎโโ๏ธ๐ฎโโ๏ธ Don't let your pooch play excessively while in the heat - find them something calming to do with their brain instead! (Stuffed kong, treat balls, puzzle feeders, destruction boxes etc) ๐ and keep your cat indoors and entertained.
- Check your gardens and fencing before allowing your dog to have a short toilet break - the LAST thing you want is your dog getting loose and running in the heat!!!! ๐ญ
Here are the common signs of heatstroke (as provided by our wonderful friends down at the PDSA):
โ ๏ธ Excessive panting and salivating
โ ๏ธ Drowsiness/Lethargy
โ ๏ธ Collapsing/Weakness
โ ๏ธ Vomitting/Diarrohea
โ ๏ธ Bright red tongue
โ ๏ธ Pale gums
โ ๏ธ Excessive thirst (Dehydration)
Pets at a higher risk of heat stroke are:
๐พ Puppies/Kittens
๐พ Elderly
๐พ Obese
๐พ Heart/Respiratory conditions
๐พ Short-nosed breeds (Bulldogs, Frenchies, Pugs, Persians etc)
If you are concerned that your pet has heat stroke, please don't delay in getting them to a vet as soon as possible ๐
We hope you all stay safe and have some fun with your furries while doing so - OUT OF THE HEAT! ๐๐ฅฐ๐๐๐
**Also note that the suitable tempretures are a guide... you know your pets better than anyone else - those tempretures that maybe okay for another dog, cat or small furry may still be too hot for your pet!**
Our resident spooky sisters Penny and Lucy! ๐ป Think of the cats from lady and the tramp and that's kind of the vibe these ladies have! ๐โโฌ๏ธ๐โโฌ๏ธ
These girls are very very in sync! It's scary! ๐คฃ there has even been moments where they both swish and hook their tails in the same position or randomly stop to have a wash at the same time! ๐ซถ๐๐
They are so alike in temperament and just like alot of human siblings/twins they do everything together! They sleep together, eat together, go for a wander on the cattery together - they are inseparable ๐ซถ
They are also another pair who haven't had any interest ๐ฅบ and they have come so far from the pair of nervous cats shaking in the back of their safety den to the gorgeous, cheeky, interactive girls they are now! ๐ฅน
Could you be their humans? ๐ก

โจ๏ธ๐Potential missing Mum and Kittens ๐โจ๏ธ
We have had this little one brought along to us with her 4 kittens ๐
Collected today by a caring member of public after they were found alone inside a tiny cat carrier in a carpark near the library in Firth Park S5 ๐
No collar or microchip found but mum has a mark from a collar she has had in the past, and all the family are in really good, condition.
We think the kittens are around 10weeks old and mum a youngster herself, with a possibility to be pregnant already again ๐
We have called mum Bronte and the kittens all have author names too ๐๐๐
If you recognise this mumma, please reach out to us on [email protected] - we don't respond to rehoming or reclaim enquiries on our social media pages.
Please be kind - but also be kind to your rescue centres big or small - we are all feeling the same feelings and struggles at the moment ๐๐
Our Kiki has been piggy dippin' ๐
Over the last few days we've had the paddling pools out and set up for some safe fun in the sun for our pooches onsite! ๐ฆ
Did your pooches have some safe fun in the sun over the weekend? What did you do to keep your doggos cool? ๐๐๐
We thought it would be ideal to post this photo on a Monday morning because we feel Kikis face just kinda sums up Mondays for most of us ๐คฃ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Although she has a rather sassy looking face ... our girl is actually a sweet and funny lady! ๐ซถ and will hopefully be looking for her new home very soon! ๐ก
Happy Monday! ๐๐
Our gorgeous boy Flash! โก๏ธ
If we are honest, we expected him to be... gone in a flash, but he hasn't ๐ฅบ
Poor Flash hasn't had one single application ๐ and it's such a shame as he's such a character cat!
Is he a lapcat? Not exactly ๐
Is he a couch potato? Not really ๐
Does he have a cheeky nibble on you from time to time? Maybe ๐
But does he deserve to still be over looked after being in our care 74 days? No, he definitely doesn't ๐
74 days is so long for a cat to spend in cat pen and in rescue - now we of course do everything we can to enrich all of our animals daily, and a pen is better than on the streets and awfully injured like he was ๐ but we have a vision of the puuuurfect life for Flash and it's not here with us...
We can see him waking up nice and early, having a biiiiiiiig stretch (he loves a good big stretch) then wandering upstairs to go and trample over his mum and dad in bed until they wake up to give him breakfast! โฐ๏ธ After a good hearty meal, we can see him giving everyone a fuss and then going off on adventures! Playing in the grass and outdoors all day long! The breeze sailing through his magnificent whiskers, the sun on his adorable little nose, feeling the mud and soil on his little toe beans! Chasing the leaves, the bees and bugs! ๐ Potentially saying hello to the people that cross his path ๐ฅฐ Then when he's all tuckered out - heading home to see his favorite people in the whole world! (As when he loves you Flash loves you hard!๐ฅน) Dancing round his mums feet in the kitchen while she cooks and then demanding his own tea too! Snuggling up on the sofa with all the family to enjoy abit of tele - probably even abit of corrie as we feel with his temperament he'd love a good drama show before having a comfortable sleep dreaming of all the good things in life as he knows he's now loved and safe forever .... ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
So, when we see his little face at his window in a morning, we of course smile - how could you not?! But we also feel our hearts drop as we so want all of that above for him ๐ฅบ even his last Facebook post didn't get much reach so please please please like, comment and share our boy far and wide! To hopefully catch the eye of his perfect forever family! ๐ซถ๐ก๐๐
If anyone would like to contribute to Flash and our other long stay animals care you can do below or by all means you can send them a little gift! We are always in need of treats for both dogs and cats, dog and cat meat in jelly, tuna and squeezy primula cheese ๐ซถ๐๐

Remember, if itโs too hot for your hands or your bare feet, then itโs too hot for their paw pads! โ ๏ธ
If youโre unsure whether itโs okay to let your pet go for a walk on pavements, a simple way to test the temperature is by holding your bare skin on the tarmac for five seconds โฑ๏ธ
If you find it painful, then your pet will find it painful to walk on!
To protect your pet, itโs best to avoid walks during the hottest part of the day, which is usually between 8am and 6pm. If you can't safely exercise your dog, missing a day won't hurt.
[Visual description: A close-up picture of a dogโs paw pad which looks very red and sore after being burnt from walking on a hot pavement.]
Say cheeeeeeeeeeeeeese ๐ง๐ท
Here are two of the pooches we are currently caring for (they aren't quite ready for adoption yet) out for a walk EARLY this morning (as it's so warm out there already ๐ฅต)
Zeus and Kiki came into our care separately but are enjoying some walks together to enrich their rescue journey and build on their safe dog interactions! ๐
Zeus is still under going some supportive training (along with a fair few of our other pooches ๐ฅบ) and Miss Kiki is under our vet for medical support BUT both pooches really benefit from the use of squeezy primula cheese and we are running low ๐
Squeezy cheese is such a valuable training aid for us here so we go through it like lightening ๐ง and just like for Kiki we can use it to hide medications in for our pooches ๐คซ
If you can spare anything towards us going and doing a big cheese shop please do ๐๐ป or if you would just like to donate some directly you can drop it off to the rehoming centre everyday between the hours of 10am and 3:30pm ๐๐ง
All of our centre doggos and staff will be very grateful for anything you can spare! ๐๐๐

We are so proud of our resident sass pants James! ๐๐ค๐๐
So James has taken a HUGE step and moved onto our main cattery unit! ๐ฅน and we are so pleased to say he's adapting to the move so well! ๐
He used to have a special room on our back units as we were worried he wouldn't be able to cope with the busier unit and strangers having access to see him (when our cattery is open public can walk down the main unit) but it seems he's actually enjoying having more to see!
He's still cautious of course but that's just James in general! We are sure he will be back to bap bapping our feet in no time! ๐ฅน๐๐
Such a clever boy! He is still on the look out for his very special home ๐๐๐

Just look at that beautiful face! ๐ฅฐ๐๐
That is the very signature soft and gorgeous face that we know all of you shepherd lovers will just adore! ๐ฅฐ๐๐
Meet - Miss Faye! Our very dinky little shepherd girlie! ๐๐
Faye came to us to start her rescue journey a few weeks ago and will be on the look out for her forever family very very soon! ๐
But until then we thought you would enjoy meeting her! ๐ฅฐ๐๐
Miss Willow ๐๐๐
We are very pleased to say we are now back on track with Miss Willow again ๐ค๐๐
After we did her ยฃ248 surgery to remove a cancerous ear tip she was also on medications for an awful inner ear infection ๐ We and the vets thought that we were getting somewhere with this but then, what felt like out of nowhere, our girlie got very poorly with her ear again- this time it was her ear flap skin and upper ear ๐ so, we started a new treatment of steroids too and we think we are out of the other side again! ๐๐ค๐๐
Our little lady has been through the wars while here with us but hopefully she won't have to wait too much longer to find her forever family! ๐ค๐๐
Those little peeps ๐ฅบ๐ฅฐ๐๐
You really wouldn't expect to see our gorgeous Remy pop his head out after hearing those! ๐ฅฐ๐๐
Rem came to us after being found straying and actually got himself trapped somewhere silly ๐คฆโโ๏ธ poor little love๐๐
He is now feeling much better and growing relationships with his carers - he can be shy but treats are the way to his heart ๐คฃ๐ฝ so we thought he was ready to start the hunt for his forever home and make his Facebook debut ๐๐๐
He's BIG.. he's BOUNCY... he's.... well actually nope he isn't any of those ๐คฃ๐ถ
He's actually very dinky (very small pocket bully) He's extremely chilled and lazy ๐ด and he's our handsome boy Jacko ๐ถ๐
Now, if someone is on the look out for a couch potato of a pooch that only requires minimal exercise a day and plenty of fuzzy blankets and sun spots in the house - then our boy is just the one for you! ๐คฃ๐๐ถ
Jacko really is an easy and friendly boy! Nothing phases him, he's met many people including vets and some of our volunteers and he honestly just isn't bothered! ๐คฃ๐
He loves to lay on his back on your lap snoozing, he gets sassy if we turn his lights on and open up his kennel before 9am, he LOVES his treats and enjoys the slower things in life ๐คฃ๐ถ
He's had very little interest and we can't understand why as he is the perfect land seal bully boy! ๐ถ
See his rehoming page below ๐

Our Coco is back and showing off her beautiful nose job! ๐คฃ look at those nice big nostrils! And all healed up! โบ๏ธ๐๐
We are so surprised no one has snapped her up yet ๐ฅบ she's had a couple of enquiries but when we explain more about her needs people don't respond ๐
We know she's a special girl but we also know her special human/humans are out there! ๐ฅบ๐ก
Our girl hasn't been through what she has, to not get her happy ending! 514 days in RSPCA care as part of a cruelty investigation, multiple surgeries, seeing her doggy friends come and go, trips to the vet, being prodded and poked, medication trials, diet trials, so much waiting ๐- and she still is the happiest dog we have on site! ๐ฅบ SHE DESERVES HER NEW LIFE ๐ฅบ๐๐
If you can't offer her a home, please like and share her post, as someone you know may have a Coco Loco shaped hole in their lives! ๐ค๐ฅบ๐ก๐๐

โจ๏ธ๐Potential missing kitten ๐โจ๏ธ
We have had this little one brought along to us ๐ Due to their dirty furr and extremely fearful nature we strongly suspect this little love has been born outside but we do need to see if there's an owner out there on the off chance ๐
Collected today by a caring member of public after they were darting in and out of traffic around the Wicker Archers S4 (a very very busy road ๐) We have since been informed of building works very close to this area so we think these could have spooked our little one out of their known area and into the road ๐
No collar or microchip found so we have taken photos of this little loves markings incase anyone recognises them ๐
We think around 12-16 weeks old ๐
We have called them Sunny๐๐๐
If you recognise this kitten please reach out to us on [email protected] - we don't respond to rehoming or reclaim enquiries on our social media pages. Understandably this baby couldn't be re-released with a paper collar due to their age, vulnerability, the area found and us not knowing if they have someone caring for them. ๐
Alternatively - if you have spicy/nervous cat experience and could foster this baby for us - please reach out on the above email... if they were born outside their whole world will have been turned upside down and they will be so frightened right now - and we need to get them in an experienced home sooner rather than later for socialising while we try to find either an owner or their forever home! ๐ฅบ๐๐๐ป๐ก๐๐
Please join us in wishing our Princess Margherita ๐ good luck! ๐ฅน๐๐ป๐๐
Our brown eyed beauty who happens to have the most squishiest face is off to the pet hospital today to get her cherry eye surgery later to hopefully fix the issue for her, once and for all ๐ฅน๐๐ป
She is such an amazing pooch who is extremely resilient- so sorting this out for her is the least we can do ๐
In an ideal world our girlie would be coming back to a snuggly sofa to recover on in either a foster or forever home ๐ฅบ but sadly she's still waiting ๐ So we will continue to spoil her rotten until her forever people come along! Including supporting her through her recovery ๐ก
We will keep you all upto date - we know we will all be anxiously awaiting updates ๐๐ป๐๐
Here we have an eagerly awaited Breakfast bunch update! ๐ค๐๐๐
Momma - Croissant and her babies Beans, Eggy, Toast, Bacon, Porridge and Granola ๐ฅ๐ซ๐ณ๐๐ฅ have settled amazingly into their foster home! And really are having the best time and the best start now! ๐ค๐๐
Momma has had abit of an upset tummy but we are working on that ๐ซฃ (she is currently on a special sensitive diet of I/D dry food and kitten gastrointestinal wet food which can be found on our wishlist if you want to send her a gift or if you would like to pop a little something in for our next food order we would all be very grateful! ๐๐ป) but all this little family are thriving, being loved, cared for and spoilt rotten! ๐๐๐

(Special thank you to our new foster family that are coming on board to the RSPCA Sheffield foster network and taking in this little family!) ๐ฅฐ๐๐ Thankfully after a check over at our vets the only ailments these have are a heavy flea and worm burden which is such a releif ๐๐ We never expected so much kindness on our post this morning so a big thank you for all the kind words and donations ๐ฅฐ We honestly can't tell you all how demanding rescue is at the moment and we know that all of the amazing rescues out there are just like us and doing everything in their power to ride the tsunami of help demands daily so all we ask is that all that kindness given to us today is given to every animal rescue right now ๐ฅบ it's so difficult but we are all keeping going ๐ฅฐ๐๐ We shall keep you all posted on this adorable little bunch ๐๐

The absoulte importance of partnership! ๐๐ On this a little dreary Wednesday morning we wanted to share a situation with you all that has now concluded with THE BEST outcome thanks to rescues and charities working together! ๐ช This mum cat Peach (lovingly named by our vets) and her babies were homeless and living in a garden - a caring member of public spotted them and brought them along to us - the first step of the animal rescue journey that took place yesterday! ๐ฅฐ๐๐ Straight away we could see that mummy was doing her best but her babies had gunky sealed shut eyes, were smaller than you would expect and were in need of an urgent vet check due to one little one not being very active at all - The first point of partnership comes in now ... Our team immediately contacted our amazing vets the PDSA pet hospital explained the situation and they squeezed her in for a check that afternoon ๐ช๐ฅฐ The next hurdle was figuring out how to keep this momma and her vulnerable babies safe ๐ฅบ we don't have a maternity unit free at the moment and all of our foster carers have babies - so we started making enquiries and this is the next benefit of our current partnerships! Our friends who we are partnered up with at Cats Protection Sheffield & District Branch heard our calls for help and although they themselves were in the same position as us they put the feelers out further for us... And after lots of messaging from volunteers, staff out of hours and drivers stepping up to help - Peach and her family at 10 am today are off to a foster home in Trafford to be cared for by the Cats protection Trafford branch ๐ฅน๐ช๐๐ This is such an amazing example of ourselves, The PDSA Sheffield, The Sheffield and Trafford Cats protection and dedicated volunteers and staff all working TOGETHER for the same aim - to ensure this little family's safety and welfare ๐ฅน๐๐ Team work makes the dream work! ๐ช๐๐ Happy Wednesday guys! ๐๐๐
We promised you we would update you on how Sprout got on! And here we are ๐๐๐ Sprout continued to get better and so no longer needed to stay in his recovery foster home ๐ he needed more space and freedom ... and as always aunty Kerry said "I've got room!" - we would all be so lost without our amazing foster humans like Kerry! ๐ฅฐ๐๐ The bonus is Kerry has baby Fudge (update on him coming up tomorrow!) So it means little Sprout also gets to have a new friend after his brother Radish passed away ๐ which is amazing for them both! ๐๐ Very lucky boys living their little best lives in foster! ๐ฅฐ๐๐

The harsh reality faced by rescues at the moment! ๐ฅบ๐๐ On Wednesday afternoon a member of public came to us with a box of kittens who were born outside and mum had apparently not been back for weeks ๐ฅบ While figuring out some accommodation for these little ones our eagle eyed staff noticed these babies were infact very poorly little mites ๐ฅบ๐ In the last 3 days they have had an emergency vet visit everyday ๐ they are emaciated, have very upset tummies, infected claws, watery eyes, temperatures, dehydration bloods taken and they kept going flat on us ๐ฅบ Thankfully they are split off into pairs and all in emergency recovery foster now but our vegetable kittens are paying the ultimate price for being born unwanted ๐ while we have also had to spend hundreds on their care and getting them the dietary requirements they need (on world veterinary day we want to give a huge thankyou to our friends at the PDSA pet hospital who have been there for our little ones everytime they have needed them! ๐) All of our babies have a hell of a fight to just survive ๐ฅบ aged around 5 weeks and weighing between 500 and 700 grams ๐ญ it's pitiful and unnecessary that they have had to go through what they have! ๐ and just like other rescues we are now picking up the pieces and have already had gut wrenching and teary moments with these babies- they have only been in our care for 72 hours, how is this a fair life for them? How do people see this as acceptable ๐ฅบ when neutering is available to every single cat owner ๐๐ Cabbage, Courgette, Sprout, Radish, Turnip and Broccoli - you're all safe with us and we will keep doing everything we can for you ๐ฅบ๐๐ If anyone would like to donate towards their care they are currently having to have gastro intestinal kitten food which can be found on our amazon wishlist or you can send over a financial donation via our website ๐ฅฐ In all of the negativity in this post there's one thing that makes us sm
Fudge update! ๐ฅฐ๐๐ Many of you saw our post of our little emergency intake Fudge ๐ค So, we are now in a position to give you all an update! When Fudge saw our vet on Monday night they confirmed there are no breaks in any of his main leg bones so his femur, tibia and fibula are all intact! Phew! ๐ he does however have swelling and stiffness in his hock ๐ฅบ this could be a muscle injury over a bone injury or the result of an old infected injury like a bite - poor baby! So, he's on strict rest, antibiotics and pain relief as and when needed as he's such a tiny tot ... he's only 525 grams at around 5 weeks ๐ฅบ one of Rigatonis babies is the same age and DOUBLE that ๐ he also had plenty of unwanted guests deep in his furr that will have been draining him ๐ As you can see though! He's taking it all in his stride and having a lovely time out in foster! ๐ค he is apparently such a loud purrer and really loves a snuggle!!! He has already started toe touching and trying to use his little leg so we are hopefully headed in the right direction! Our main thing is getting him all the goodness he needs to keep his little body fighting and maintaining while we keep him getting better ๐๐๐
Baby Goose! ๐ฅบ๐ฅฐ๐๐ Our floppy eared, kangaroo bouncing, poo bag stealing baby is on the look out for his forever home! ๐ฅฐ He came to us after another organisation stepped in to save him but then needed our help to take over the rehoming side! ... A homeless little boy with no where else to go.. we just had to squeeze him in! ๐๐๐ Goose is so clever and so sweet but he is also, an undersocialised puppy! With the right routine, structure and support he will be amazing but this little laddo has had alot of change and abit of a chaotic time in his short life and that really shows with how he behaves sometimes ๐ฅบ๐๐ Puppy's should be safe, loved and be having consistent training from the moment they wake up to the moment they go to bed ... but he hasn't had that ๐ So we are looking for a special family that don't mind putting in a little work and getting a HUGE reward - as he we think he will be absolutely amazing, with time ๐ฅฐ๐๐ Could that be with you? ๐ก๐ฅฐ๐๐ https://www.rspca.org.uk/findapet/search/details/-/Animal/GOOSE/ref/BSA2129455/rehome

Purr-tastic! ๐ฅน๐๐ Our amazing mummy cat Rigatoni is taking the best care of her pasta babies - Ramen, Noodle and Macaroni ๐๐ No one came forward to claim our girl ao all of this little family will now be on the look out for their forever home via us in the future ๐๐๐ That won't be for a while yet though as these little babies need quite abit more time with momma ๐๐๐ But just listen to those purrs, she's such a happy lady along with being a very proud mum ๐ฅฐ๐๐
