Our charity was formed in 1962, and covers the County of Westmorland.
Our branch is run by a network of trustees, staff and volunteers including a branch manager. Our mission in the local area is to help and re home cats in need and help local owners with neutering and welfare payments.
The branch is an independent registered charity and no way funded by the "National" RSPCA so therefore we are responsible for raising all our own funds to continue the work we do.
We also help with wildlife and do TNR "Trap Neuter Release" work within the local area.
Cattery Plans
We have some exciting plans for the branch with the opening of our very own cattery here in Kendal by the end of 2025. This will enable us to help more local cats and finally give us our own space rather than using boarding facilities.
Unfortunately at the moment we are unable to help with dogs.
Our Aim
- To alleviate suffering and to rehabilitate neglected animals.
- To find new and loving ‘forever’ homes for our animals.
- To promote neutering & microchipping campaigns around our area.
- To offer financial assistance towards veterinary treatment for those pet owners in receipt of means tested benefits.
- To provide information and on-going educational campaigns regarding positive animal welfare.
