About us:

The RSPCA Central, West & North East London Branch is a separately registered charity from the main RSPCA and is self-funding through a chain of charity shops. These shops pay for our two animal centres which accommodate over 1700 animals a year from our Branch area.

We take in the most sick, injured, abused and neglected animals from the streets of London and rehabilitate and re-home them. Our outreach programme operates seven days a week to offer help and comfort to animals that have been hit by cars, fallen from windows, lost their homes due to the death, imprisonment or eviction of their owners, or been beaten, abandoned or abused. Our amazing team of fosterers take in those animals which still have quality of life but are too old to find a new home or who are too poorly and need time to recover in a safe loving environment. 

Our specialist stables re-homing programme for feral and terrified cats ensures that those who cannot cope with a conventional home can find a future where they are fed and cared for but do not have to interact with people until they feel ready to do so.

We work with housing associations, local authorities, social workers, community groups and the police to provide help to animals in danger and distress.
