Adoption fees

Adoption fees help cover a small fraction of the cost of preparing RSPCA animals for new homes.

Each animal is desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, health and behaviour checked to ensure it's ready to start a new and happy life.

Cats and dogs adoption fee includes a bag of Hill's premium pet food per animal (excluding seniors and not in conjunction with any other offer).
