RSPCA Castlemaine Midland Animal Welfare joined the RSPCA in 1995. RSPCA Castlemaine has since provided care to hundreds of stray and abandoned animals annually, including 788 in the past year. RSPCA Inspectors within the region investigate cruelty complaints reported by the community. RSPCA Victoria receives more than 14,400 cruelty complaints each year and 46% are from regional Victoria. Castlemaine Million Paws Walk 2010 Thank you to everyone from the Castlemaine community who brought their four legged friends along to our Million Paws Walk. The event was an outstanding success with hundreds of people and their beloved pooches joining the RSPCA team for a fun day around the Castlemaine Botanical Gardens. More than $2,000 was raised, an amazing result that will help support the RSPCA's work in the Castlemaine region. Thanks also to our dedicated team of volunteers who ensured this event was such a fabulous success!
RSPCA Castlemaine desperately needs community support to fund the work of their local Inspector, and to help care for the thousands of animals in the shelter receives each year. Click here to make a donation to support the Castlemaine Shelter.
Adoption Animals
If you are looking for a new pet, RSPCA Castlemaine have lots of dogs and cats needing loving new homes. View the RSPCA Castlemaine adoption animals and you might just find your new best friend! Two RSPCA dogs, Cade and Angie (pictured right) were recently adopted during the Pawfect Match adopt-a-thon in Castlemaine. What a cute pair they make!!
Discount desexing- Ending Soon! Residents of the Mt Alexander shire are able to purchase discount cat desexing vouchers for $16 male and $25 female until 30th April when the scheme comes to and end. Hurry! This is a significant discount and saves unwanted litters facing an unknown fate. Vouchers can be purchased (for cash only) from the shelter. Contact Castlemaine RSPCA for more information. As at October 2009, we had sold 283 female cat desexing vouchers and 198 male cat desexing vouchers to pet owners in the Mount Alexander Shire, saving owners at least $100 per cat, and helping to alleviate the problem of unwanted cats and kittens in our area. Our ongoing campaign is gaining momentum. A stall at the local supermarket saw 14 vouchers sold in one morning!
Despite our best efforts and the sale of hundreds of desexing vouchers in our Shire, such sad occurrences still seem to happen on a far too regular basis. Please support our shelter so we can continue spreading the word about animal welfare in our region.
