RESCUE AND CARE
SAFE FROM HARM "Clare had all the expertise
to get Cranberry to safety
and arrange his care."
WE RESCUE THOUSANDS OF ANIMALS FROM CRUELTY
AND NEGLECT - OUR CENTRES AND BRANCHES TOOK IN
MORE THAN 50,000 IN 2023. AND IT DOESN'T END THERE.
Working with our dedicated supporters, we give them
whatever treatment and recovery time they need before finding
them a new home or releasing them back into the wild.
Team effort saves Cranberry
When Karen spotted a sick seal, she called her friend Janet, who
alerted us. Karen kept watch, while Janet and grandson Finn met one
of our inspectors Clare Wilson and guided her to the spot.
Clare got the sick seal into a special bag, and all three women lifted him
back up the dunes. Clare then booked him a place at a local vet surgery,
where he was treated for mouth rot. Later, volunteers at a nearby
aquarium named him Cranberry and nursed him to full health over
four months, before releasing him back into the sea.
"Clare had all the expertise to get Cranberry to safety and arrange his
care," says Janet. "Our first instinct was to call the RSPCA - we're so glad
we did."
IN 2023 OUR WILDLIFE
CENTRES TOOK IN
7,456 WILD ANIMALS.
