Based on reviews, created with AI
At the RSPCA, we’re proud to be there for every kind— from pets in need to wild animals who need urgent care. Every day, our dedicated teams work tirelessly to protect animals, prevent cruelty, and offer hope in situations that are often distressing and complex. As a charity, we face difficult decisions about how to use our limited resources, and we must prioritise the most urgent and serious cases of abuse or neglect. This sometimes means we can’t attend every call, no matter how much we wish we could. When we’re unable to be there in person, we’ll help in other ways—offering you support, directing you to organisations that can help fast, and, when it’s safe, empowering you to take an animal to a vet. These shared efforts truly make a difference. We’re incredibly grateful for the kindness, patience, and support shown by the public. Together, we can continue to speak up for animals, protect those in need, and build a better world for every kind.

I have a great house with a nice garden. I have one dog that is super friendly and loves every animal and human. I applied for a dog. Filled in their endless form. It said, if we don't contacted you assume you have not been successful. What sort of a response is that? I did not get a response in 2 months.
Reported German Shepherds being kept in the back of cramped vans in small cages for more than 24hrs a day in a security firm. Called RSPCA they said as long as they had food & water there's nothing they can do. I think about those 2 dog's every day. That was a year ago. 😔
I am appalled that the RSPCA have a tv advert for help off the public. I rang them 3 times last month to help me re home a pregnant cat she was on her 3rd litter of kittens all within 12 months. My neighbour had abandoned her.
They said they couldn’t help even though she was heavily pregnant and I was feeding her & giving her shelter somewhere warm ! I would have kept her but I have 2 cats and a dog who thinks cats want to play all the time so I was in an impossible situation. I told the RSPCA she was ready to have her kittens and I was worried she would be on the streets when she went into labour. The lady told that happens all the time in the UK were cats are giving birth on the streets. I am disgusted with the reply she gave me.!
They do not deserve any donations. This isn’t the first time I have asked these people for help. I found a kitten in the park under a tree with a little can of cat food at the side of him and when I rang the RSPCA & also the cats protection I was told they could not help. The little kitten still lives with me 3 years on and the pregnant cat is now in a new home and very happy ready to give birth to her kittens very shortly.
I do not know how the RSPCA have got the nerve to ask any of the public for help because when the public need help from them they dismiss any help.

Carnt give no stars. RSPCA cross lane Wallasey They took a stray/ free roaming cat. Locked it up. And tried to change it into a house cat. It had been free for years. Never took the cat’s feelings or what it wanted. Into account. At all it’s a long story I’m not going to b repeate again. This poor cat was ripped from all it new and was happy with. It had cat friends that as of today still look for it. All because a member of the public. STOLE it from the street outside its home and took it in as a stray. Cross lane didn’t apply the law animal welfare act act. 2006. Regarding this cat. Nor that it had a keeper/ owner. Just because he wasn’t chipped or had any identification doesn’t mean he had no owner. the Law under animal welfare act 2006. His owner was identified within a day but RSPCA wallasey refused to return it. They lied told lies to cover there actions that they had done. Yes stay away from. Cross lane Wallasey. There bad. And need closing down. The main RSPCA England & Wales are not involved in this case.

Are you kidding me??? 250 dogs rescued from a breeder because ‘ it got out of control’ and ZERO PROSECUTION BROUGHT BY THE RSPCA?! The rspca has always been woeful but this is a new cherry on the cake, how anyone can give money to an ‘animal charity’ that takes zero action after TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY ANIMALS ( DOGs ) HAVE BEEN HORRIBLY NEGLECTED ( intentionally) can not be worth donating to.
Needs shutting down and money going to real animal charities that actually care.
RSPCA response will say they care yet the prof is overwhelmingly against their lip service.
Disgusting
I emailed RSPCA they were uncaring I got no reply from them. There are good people who care about animals.

Reply from RSPCA (England and Wales)
Absolutely horrendous. I ve reported to incidents concerning ponies and both times they can't do anything about it. Awful service don't help when it's needed.
I pay into the RSPCA but have just cancelled my contribution so disgusted with this service

Crap charity. DO NOT DONATE TO THEM! I've tried for 4 weeks to get an answer from their online chat reporting service to always be met with being informed of no advisors being available. When I did get an answer some months ago, they wouldn't even take dogs living within an environment full of drugs / cannabis seriously and ignored it, would you believe! DO NOT DONATE TO THEM!

Do not give ,The CEO takes almost £250000 a year ,, Do as I do feed the birds and buy dog food for foxes,100% to the animals.

Found an injured Tawny owl which I took home & thought it would be a straight forward case of someone coming out to collect it, how wrong I was. I was asked questions & was then told that they couldn't give me a time as they are busy & don't have the staff. Could I leave it in a safe place please, I said no as I live rurally & there are feral cats around, they replied & said could I put a lid over it, to which I repeated my reply. I said due to them not giving me a time could I take it to where I was working half an hr away, no sorry it has to be collected from your address Peter.Have you tried your local vet Peter, yes but they were not interested in helping, ok thanks I'll try some other animal charities. Nobody who I tried got back to me either, the rehabilitation centre in Somerset said it looked like a wing injury & try your local vet ( nothing the matter with his wings ) hell of a diagnosis from 2 photos. The story seems to be here, is take it to the vets so they can put it to sleep, the majority of vets have limited experience with birds of prey by their own experience. Three days on nobody has been in touch with me, the poor thing would have been in a box for all that time, utterly disgusting organisation who actually DON'T GIVE A STUFF......... At the end of the phone call they have the cheek to ask for reviews ..........you couldn't make it up. The owl is currently eating, drinking & pooing, A huge thank you to Julie from Totnes Rare Breeds , who's advice , caring manner & offer to take the owl on after easter if required has restored my faith in the human race. What the hell has happened to the RSPCA ? no point at all in contacting them. I will never ever donate to this organisation ever again, there is a lot of more worthwhile animal charities out there.

Reply from RSPCA (England and Wales)
At this point just shut your organisation down. You are no longer qualified to call yourself ‘a charity for protecting and caring animals’, doesn’t even deserved to have ‘Royal’ in your name’. Phoned the hotline wanting support regarding a sick stray and not only got bombarded by donation messages, which is the only thing spca cared about, but received the response of the year from the phone operator as quoted ‘you only called because you don’t want to pay vet money to heal the cat’. without even understanding the full story. What an answer that was, doesn’t even have the basic human decency. This organisation is a national disgrace. Branding spca a clown show would make much reasonable sense than ‘charity’.

Reply from RSPCA (England and Wales)
What a disgusting CHARITY !!
Claiming to put animal welfare first !!
They have never ever helped me or animals I have seen neglected !!
They operate solely as a money making machine !!! Utterly disgusting ..,, the ROYAL name says it all another corrupt organisation.. no compassion or genuine care for animals just grasping money making crooks

Outside Morrisons at Sittingbourne 19th March I stopped to talk to Matt and Jim (1026 and 1027), they’d been there all day on their feet fund raising for the RSPCA, no pressure just friendly conversation, I signed up for a small monthly amount, a drop in the ocean but hope there were many others that day and other days. Great job they do for a great cause!

Rang about a dog left in the garden it’s been 6 days had the phone put down on me 3 times and the answer I was given was well we probably had all the info we needed they couldn’t give a toss fake money grabbing organisation

Reply from RSPCA (England and Wales)
If I could give minus stars I would.
Shocking shocking organisation that truly do not care about animals. It’s all about MONEY.
A poor dog has been left in an abandoned crack house that the police raided and boarded up, for 6 DAYS so far with no food or water. 6 DAYS!! And counting.
The RSPCA and police were called numerous times since the day after the raid when neighbours realised the dog was left in there. They did NOTHING. Finally after 3 days the RSPCA came and put a tape over the door to “ see if anyone’s attending to the dog”. That was 3 days ago and the seal has not been broken ( the tenant is not coming back) and STILL today they won’t rescue the dog. When asked when they are going to get the dog out they said another 48 hours, The RSPCA lady actually scoffed and said “ it might even be longer! The dogs barking so it’s still alive “.
She was aggressive, rude, confrontational, defensive and told me to “ go away “.
Today the police contacted the RSPCA and asked them to meet them at the house with a view to doing something. The RSPCAs reply? “ we are too busy, and under staffed “. So too bad poor little Frenchie , you’ll be left to starve to death in a crack den all alone.
You could have saved this sweet little dog. But you refused. Shane on you. I will tell everyone and anyone just how vile you are. Animal welfare?? My ass!! It takes a special kind of cruel to treat an animal this way, and there is non crueler than a group of narcissistic people
The dog will probably be dead soon, it’s already thin and abused, and they are prepared to leave it suffering for at least another 48 hours!?
I thought that was illegal?! It’ll be over a week by then and they could not care less.

First of all if you’re concerned about an animal then don’t contact these scammers. They are not interested helping any animals as all they want to do is fine people first. All they are here for is collecting donations and taking people to court. I phoned them out to rescue a dog as it was just dumped on a council estate. It has been there for days. I was working on that estate and noticed the dog. It was thin dirty and had no energy. Me and a few boys went to the shop and looked after it for a few days while waiting for the rspca to come out . They did come out and said as there is no owner for the dog there is nothing they can do. So I said the dog need professional care and need warmth and looking after and he said sorry there is nothing they can do without an owner coming forward. I said the dog has been abandoned. They said they can’t do anything. So I said best you go back in your little van and pissoff before I get a hammer and turn your van into box. So went faster then I could get my hammer out of my van. So a few of us put it on social media for someone to help the dog. A dog charity came out and rescued the dog. I have donated them for years . I can’t put names on here but the charity colour if yellow. So if you want to help an animal DONT contact them scammers RSPCA. Don’t waste your call. Rant over.
