RSPCA Suffolk Central Branch

Animal welfare, rehoming, pet rescue and adoption.

The RSPCA Suffolk Central Branch takes in, rehabilitates, rehomes and provides veterinary treatment for hundreds of animals each year in Suffolk.

We are a separately registered and mainly self-funding branch of the RSPCA, helping local animals in need.

Our Animal Centre at Martlesham, Veterinary Clinic in Ipswich and various veterinary voucher schemes cost us in excess of £751,414 to run in 2021. So, we rely heavily on the generosity and support of the local community as well as our own fundraising.

At any one time, our Animal Centre can be looking after up to 28 dogs, 56 cats, 20 rabbits and 40 ferrets (excluding young), in addition to many small animals, birds and wildlife. Our aim is to find suitable, caring and permanent homes for the animals brought into our care.

We also help local pet owners on low incomes by providing reduced cost veterinary assistance and subsidised neutering and microchipping.

If you are thinking of getting a pet, please consider our animals.
