Meet Slinky, a 2 year old boy whose life has been saved today by my friend, Mel. Both of them were winners today.
In the last 6 weeks, two of my friends have adopted new additions to their families from the local RSPCA.. Now I am not in a position to add any other pets to my brood of animals, however I got on the RSPCA website and my heart nearly broke looking at the adorable animals without homes. and it wasn't just cats and dogs, there were birds, fish and even a little ferret called Banana!
So you pay a small price for the animal, and it comes de sexed, vaccinated and with a clean bill of health! The money goes straight back into the RSPCA to continue the good work they are doing, and you give a good home to someone who needs it. Plus, you aren't supporting some terrible puppy farm!
I am definitely an animal person and would be lost and lonely without my dogs and kitty (none of whom are rescue animals, I do admit). If you are in the market for a brand new friend, why not check out the local RSPCA or animal shelter?
My kitty is famous! I would never get an animal from anywhere else. Going to the RSPCA is both a happy and sad exprience... Happy to see all the animals there looking so happy and health, and sad because I can't take them all home with me!
ReplyDeleteThe RSPCA hardly receives any government funding so every little donation really helps them provide a great service :)
Thanks Mel, and thanks for letting me share your story! Maybe one day you can own a farm and rescue them all.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to say that I would go down to the RSPCA, but even looking on the website was heartbreaking, and you know my tendency for tears! :) I do often participate in cup cake day though, and I will donate more now that I know they don't get a lot of Government funding, as i had not realised that before.
