West Hatch Wildlife Centre in Taunton treats thousands of animals from the far South West, the West Country and Southern England every year.  The veterinary staff are complemented by experts in animal husbandry and rehabilitation, enabling the highest standards of treatment and care.  During the busy summer months, our staff are supported by tireless and committed volunteers – we just couldn’t survive without them!

Visiting West Hatch

Because the welfare of the animals is our priority, we can’t allow the public to tour the centre as too much human contact can prevent animals from making a full recovery.  However, supervised visits for vocational courses or groups may be possible.  These need to be booked in advance.  Please email westhatchwl@rspca.org.uk.

National Control Centre

Call our cruelty line only to report cruelty, neglect or an animal in distress on 0300 1234 999 between the hours of 8am to 8pm.  The call will cost the same as any call to a UK landline number.
