The RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) is the world’s oldest animal welfare organisation.
Founded in 1824, the Society aims to prevent cruelty and promote kindness to animals. The RSPCA is a charity that has
grown into an organisation with more than 110 animal shelters and clinics, as well as specialised veterinary and wildlife
hospitals. The RSPCA’s 323 inspectors investigate reports of cruelty, offer advice and information in most cases, or
prosecute under UK law when appropriate. The RSPCA also provides advice and support to nearly 400 organisations in
80 countries around the world
