Although we have found new homes for a couple of our baby rabbits the rest have moved to RSPCA Manchester and Salford branch where they will be available soon. We currently have 7 baby rabbits in our care. We have 3 white and the other 4 are a tan variation. These little cuties were all being kept as house rabbits
Please look out for this little cat who has been missing in Tintwistle.
This is a great event for all dog owners and those interested in adopting a new dog or puppy. Everyone welcome.
As this is a first joint venture each class will be just £1 to enter.
The Best in Show competition is just for the winners of each previous class and is free to enter.
Tombola, information and other pet stalls will be there on the day.
Judge to be announced.
Yoda, the black kitten, disappeared from her home at Thornsett Fields Farm, Birch Vale on 30th June, 2018. If you spot a little black cat in the area please, if possible, take her to your nearest vet to be scanned as little Yoda is microchipped. You will not be charged for this service.
This little 15 month old cat has gone missing from his Droylsden address. He is neutered and is marked with stripes and spots and microchipped. His family is desperate to find him as he has been missing 11th July 2018 . He doesn’t know the area well as this was only the second time he has ventured outdoors.
Please help his family to find him by checking your outbuildings and under bushes in your gardens.
If you find him or have any news please ring his worried family on 07494513755.
Please see photos of the winners of each class attending the Best in Show competition.
Thank you to everyone who braved the hot weather with their lovely dogs we raised £176 on the day and every penny will go towards caring for the dogs in our care who are waiting for loving homes.

Toby, a domestic short haired kitty who is thought to be about 3 years of age, came to the branch from one of our local veterinary surgeons. He was found as an injured stray by a kind lady who thought he had badly injured his leg and took him to the surgery to be scanned for a microchip and his leg repaired.
However, following examination, it was found that he has a club foot and will always limp and be unable to climb or escape from dangerous situations easily. He will be fine as an indoor cat or one which is allowed into a secure garden for a short while.
He is now changing every day. At first he hid away from his fosterer for a few days and now he is coming out of his shell and becoming more confident. He has settled down and is becoming a loving little cat who will make a great addition to any family.
He has now recovered from his operation and has moved into Bowler’s Cattery where he will be able to meet more potential adopters.
He will receive his second vaccinations on Wednesday 11th April and will then go to the Bowler’s cattery where he can be seen by more people and perhaps someone will offer him a loving home.

These two lovely boys are really lucky black cats who have found themselves their forever home.

Come along to our Fun Dog Show which will held in Stamford Park, Stalybridge on Sunday 29th April. Registration from 12 noon with the 1st class being held at 1pm.
This beautiful black and white, female kitty has been found straying in Springhead. Her finder has take her to Ian McConnell’s veterinary practice today. Sadly, she doesn’t have a microchip or collar and could have traveled a long way. She is in good health and will stay at the vets at least until tomorrow when she will be transferred to the cattery the branch uses if we have room and kept for 7 days before being advertised for adoption.
UPDATE – She has been found to be pregnant and is being taken to one of our brilliant volunteer fosterers where, unless she is claimed in the next week, she will have her kittens and all will be found new homes.
We’ve had an update from one of our Malamute x puppy adopters and they’ve sent some lovely photos.
They say, “He’s an absolute star, although taking him for walks takes ages as we’re always being stopped by other dog walkers, wanting to know everything about him. His big sister Lelia is finally accepting his presence, although it took her a couple of weeks.
Thanks again, for your help, but more importantly, thanks to you and all the other volunteers for all the effort and kindness you showed to our puppy. I know he didn’t have the greatest start in life, but with your help, Kosi is turning into a very handsome and healthy young chap.”
Wonky is a 5 year old Collie who has come into our care through no fault of his own. This young man just loves to be with people and is good with other dogs. He does pull a little on the lead but enjoys a good walk.
He is not particularly ball orientated but he has only just come in so we are hoping his playful side will soon come out.
Davina and Tutsy were adopted recently and their new family sent us an email and photos. They were lucky to find their forever family together and have certainly got their paws on the table.
This is what their family say “Just thought you’d like to know that Diva and Tuts have been as good as gold today and are settling in really well. We are SO happy and so are they. Here’s a couple of photos. If it’s appropriate you could let the previous owners know that they have landed on their feet and will be truly cherished.”
Winston’s owner sent us an update about how well he’s settled in and enjoying the first year of his new happy life.
“I adopted Winston in February 17……………He is an amazing addition to the household….. Loves me and follows me all over the house. He brings endless happiness & the odd scratch. Drops on the floor for morning belly rubs and he likes a chase”.
