Created by RSPCA-WHS Volunteer Media Team Lisa, Fatula & Alex

Thinking about adding a new furry member to your family? Adopting from RSPCA WHS offers numerous benefits for both you and the animal.

Here are ten compelling reasons why adopting a cat or dog from our branch is a fantastic choice:

Life-Saving Impact: 

When you adopt from RSPCA WHS, you're giving a cat or dog a second chance at life. Many of our animals come to us from difficult situations, and your adoption provides them with a loving forever home.

Comprehensive Medical Care: 

Before adoption, all our cats and dogs receive thorough medical care. This includes vaccinations, microchipping, and spaying/neutering. Our veterinary team ensures that each animal is healthy and ready to join their new family.

Behavioural Support: 

Our team works with each cat and dog to address behavioural issues and ensure they are well-socialised. We provide the support you need to help your new pet adjust smoothly to their new home.

Variety of Pets: 

At RSPCA WHS, we offer a diverse range of cats and dogs, each with unique personalities and needs. Whether you're looking for a playful puppy, a laid-back senior dog, an affectionate kitten, or a calm adult cat, we have a pet to match your preferences and lifestyle.

Personalised Guidance: 

Our adoption process includes personalised support to help you find the perfect match. We provide detailed information about each animal's needs and characteristics, and our team is available to answer your questions and offer advice on pet care.

Affordability: 

Adopting from RSPCA WHS is often more affordable than purchasing from breeders or pet stores. Adoption fees cover vaccinations, microchipping, and spaying/neutering, ensuring you receive a well-cared-for pet at a reasonable cost.

Community Support: 

By adopting from RSPCA WHS, you're supporting a local charity that relies on community involvement and donations. Your adoption helps fund our efforts to rescue and care for cats and dogs in need, contributing to the welfare of animals in your area.

Lifelong Commitment:  

Adopting from RSPCA WHS means you're making a lifelong commitment to your new cat or dog. We work hard to match each animal with a responsible and loving owner, ensuring a happy future for both the pet and their new family.

Positive Impact: 

Your adoption helps address the issues of pet overpopulation and homelessness. By choosing to adopt, you’re part of a larger effort towards responsible pet ownership and helping to reduce the number of animals in shelters.

Heartwarming Stories: 

Every adoption from RSPCA WHS comes with its own heartwarming story. From a shy cat learning to trust again to a dog finding a family to call its own, each adoption brings joy and fulfilment. You’re not just bringing a pet into your home; you’re creating a lifelong bond filled with love and companionship.

Adopting a cat or dog from RSPCA WHS is a rewarding experience that benefits both you and the animal. With our commitment to comprehensive care, behavioural support, and personalised guidance, we make the adoption process as smooth and fulfilling as possible. Check out some of our stories
