Animal suffering doesn’t stop for Christmas,
so neither will we.

While many of us prepare to celebrate, far too many animals are left abandoned and neglected. We’re calling on everyone who believes that no animal should be left to suffer, to join the Christmas Rescue.

As long as any animal is suffering, we will keep going to reach and rescue them - even on Christmas Day. For many animals, the RSPCA is their only hope. We’ll bring animals who are scared and in pain to the safety and warmth of our animal centres.

Will you join the Christmas Rescue? Together, we can turn an animal’s worst suffering into the best Christmas yet - because it will be the one where their lives change forever.
