The Cheshire (Altrincham) Branch of the RSPCA was founded in 1963 and is based in the Altrincham / Sale area, although we cover a large area of Cheshire which runs from Sale and Carrington in the north, down through Knutsford and Northwich and as far south as Holmes Chapel and Sandiway.
We work closely with RSPCA Inspectors to provide direct animal welfare services in these areas. This includes veterinary care and safe homes for unwanted animals and those that the RSPCA Inspectors have rescued from harm.
As a Local RSPCA Branch, we are an independently registered charity run by volunteers and we rely heavily on local fundraising activities and public support to allow us to continue this work.
If you see an animal on our website that you would like to re-home the first step is to contact us to for further details and we will reserve the animal for you if you wish to proceed. We are always happy to give help and advice about re-homing an animal.
The next step is to arrange with you to carry out a home visit which allows us to ensure the home is suitable and also gives you the opportunity to ask any further questions you may have about rehoming an animal. We aim to carry out home visits within a week of the animal being reserved.
