Merlin didn’t deserve cruelty

Four-month old Merlin didn’t deserve to have his affection repaid with abuse when he was so badly scalded on his nose and paw that he will bear the scars for life. The RSPCA rescuer looking after Merlin was shocked at how bad his injuries were. The pain and suffering he endured was utterly heartbreaking.

Our dedicated vets and carers gave him emergency treatment and nursed him back to health. Thankfully his wounds have healed. But more animals like Merlin are still suffering. They need our help before it’s too late.

Please help rescue more animals like Merlin, with a monthly gift of £3.

Merlin made a remarkable recovery

Your gift will save lives

No animal deserves cruelty. They all deserve our loving care and protection. But keeping our animal rescuers on the road, bringing animals to safety and providing vital medical care costs money. We simply can’t do it without the kindness of people like you. 

Without supporters' donations, we can’t help those animals like Merlin who’ve faced the worst abuse. Could you consider making a donation to help us be there for every kind of animal?
