Our impact

Transforming lives.

We believe that every cat and dog should have the opportunity to enjoy a healthy life and a happy home. So from advice and support, to rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming, we exist to positively transform the lives of pets and their owners.

We are . . . Kind . Dedicated . Inspirational . Open and Honest . Expert

Established at the Claverton Down site in 1939, we serve a 650 square mile area across Bath, north east Somerset and parts of Wiltshire. We are the Bath and District Branch of the national RSPCA charity and we are a Full Member of the Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH) – both demand a very high standard in animal welfare. We have been awarded the highest award for stray dog welfare from the RSPCA, in 2023.

Animal care and costs

Every animal admitted to our care has a veterinary health check, given up to date flea, worm and vaccination treatments and neutered if necessary. Each animal has a behavioural assessment and an individual care plan to improve their welfare on site and their chances of adoption. 

Costs per kennel, including facilities, consumables and staff = £283 per week. 

Costs per cattery pod, including facilities, consumables and staff = £140 per week.
