We initially applied to adopt a dog at RSPCA HULL but someone else beat us to it so we continued our search and found a very handsome dog at this center and our application was accepted and we were invited to a meet \\u0026 greet, unfortunately we found we were incompatible with the dog we had chosen, the staff were absolutely brilliant and recognising our disappointment and the fact we had travelled so far suggest we look at some of the other dogs available. Well to cut this story short we ended up being \\\"adopted\\\" by Bullseye, the most affable, amenable, loving, funny character who has insinuated himself into our hearts. We are so greatful to all the staff at RSPCA drb South Yorkshire for their care and dedication to the animals in their care and for all the help they gave us.

Our first experience with RSPCA was back in 2004. We adopted a 10month old collie cross (Luci). Unfortunately she passed away in 2018. In 2022 it felt like the right time for a another dog. RSPCA was our first place to look \\u0026 we welcomed into our home a 26week old staffy (Trevor). We ended up back at the RSPCA in December 2022 \\u0026 also adopted a 9month old cat (Poppy). All the staff we had the pleasure of meeting, we're amazing, friendly, welcoming \\u0026 extremely knowledgeable which was comforting. I would highly recommend them to anyone. It's an unbelievable feeling when you know you are giving them a forever home \\u0026 a positive new journey. Thank you to al the staff.

Called in to drop off 3 cat beds that had been gathering dust in the dining room as the boys prefer the setees and our bed ?. Worthwhile place who care greatly for animals that are less unfortunate than most pets. Animals can be viewed on line and then you fill in a form saying what animal you are interested in. There is a shop on site and they are always grateful for donations. Great place.

I encountered multiple issues while adopting two cats from RSPCA Doncaster:\\n- The cats were listed as two males but are one male and one female.\\n- I ended up with three different dates of birth for the cats (who are siblings).\\n- On the first phone call I was told their last vet appointment was nearly a month ago and they would need to see the adoption centre?s vet again before being adopted. Then, on the call to give me a visit/collection date, the staff member was confused when I asked about this - saying they didn?t need to visit the vet again (and hadn?t visited since my last phone call).\\n- I was informed that the cats? runny eyes are them just requiring help grooming. I asked if they were still fully insurable and it was indicated that I would be able to get them fully insured. They gave four weeks free health insurance, which I thought would cover all health issues. I was told they were fully vaccinated so I wouldn?t have to worry about getting them to the vets for vaccinations any time soon. After getting them home, when sitting in a quiet room, it was clear both had blocked/runny noses and needed taking to a vet. Since then, they have had countless visits to the vets. They have been on two types of eye drops, metacam, probiotics, an injection of antibiotics and are now on antibiotic tablets and ocryl. And have had tests for for FIV and FeLV. I understand that adoption centres cannot detect all problems but it is very clear that these cats were unwell before I adopted them (even though I was told that they had had no signs of cat flue flareups since being at the adoption centre). Since they were ill before I got them, nothing has been covered by insurance. Vet bills have cost a lot! And the cats are still unwell, and so this cost is only going upwards. (I am looking after them alone and having to take time off work to get them to expensive vets appointments.) The vet was also surprised to learn that the adoption centre doesn?t test cats for FIV and FeLV (fortunately the test my vet did came back negative).\\n\\nI am a first time pet owner and adopted from RSPCA as I trusted their knowledge/experience that I would have two healthy happy cats that wouldn?t cost me lots in vets bills (as I would have insurance covering all future problems).\\nI have two adorable happy (but poorly) cats (Amelia (formally Salem) has become super confident and is currently curled up on my lap; Marco (formally Loki) is looking jealously at Amelia and hates the vets so gets worried every time I put my shoes on).\\nI don?t want to put others off adopting pets (hence me not putting a lower star rating) - the pets at the adoption centre need a safe home, so please give them one! But please be wary, ask to check through all documentation and talk to a vet first if there are any signs of health issues (don?t be pushed to take a pet asap)!\\nPlease improve the adoption centre so that others do not get put off adopting!

We went in to check allergies for my partner as he is allergic to cats, so to find the right one it took some navigation. The rspca were so helpful. We found a cat we liked, we had a meeting with her and they let us take her blanket home to see how he would be overnight.. The next day we picked her up and she is loving life! (well.. I think she is!) We picked out some new things for her at the Rspca shop for great prices. I would highly recommend going here if you are looking to rescue, looking for new or donated belongings for your pet or even to donate ?

Wanted to rehome a beautiful dog but instead of seeing if the dogs like people they see if your dogs like there dogs right from the first meet. This isnt how you do things...I'm not being funny on the woman who rather put on loads of foundation on her face than make a good decision but you DONT make a decision that boils down to my dog... my dog got on with BOO which they would of been good friends! I look after the dog feed it house it and be a strong alfa for it not to mention pick up its toilet times.. no wonder you have dogs sitting in that place.. she needs to be sacked because shes the cause of dogs over staying. Plus BOO isnt even getting fed enough! Shes very skinny and from the first time to the last BOO had lost her confidence. I wonder why. The way the woman was talking she was so judgemental because she didn't atal want us to have the dog.

Fabulous staff who couldn't be more helpful. First class accommodation for the pets and total dedication. This is the second time we have adopted from them and they are just superb. Thank you to everyone.

I was so impressed with the whole process of adopting a cat.\\nCommunication with this branch was excellent.\\nWe picked up the cat we chose and were absolutely amazed with the fantastic team at Bawtry reception and with young Georgia who volunteers there and took us to meet the cat. We were equally amazed with the cleanliness of the cats' dormitory.\\nBack to reception to sort out the paperwork - we cannot emphasise enough the care, the quality \\u0026 the professionalism of the teams that day that dealt with the adoption process.\\nIt was an enjoyable experience.
