RSPCA Solent Branch supports a 400 square mile catchment area in Hampshire with The Stubbington Ark animal centre at the heart of everything we do.
Every year hundreds of animals are abandoned, rejected and cruelly mistreated and The RSPCA Solent branch work closely with the Inspectorate to rescue, rehabilitate, rehome and release as many of these animal as we possibly can. As a separately registered Branch of the RSPCA, this means that we are responsible for raising our own funds to deliver vital animal welfare services to a wide range of different species.
Expansion of the Stubbington Ark animal centre has been necessary year by year to keep pace with the ever-growing demands. Even though we now have some great facilities there is a constant need to update and maintain our animal centre.
‘The Ark’ as we are locally known, considers education vital to ensure a better future for animals and we are one of the few animal centres in the country to have developed an Education Centre, encouraging visits from school parties, youth groups and adult groups.
We are able to house cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, all small rodents, stock animals and numerous species of wildlife.
Most of our animals are neutered on site at our in house Veterinary Unit complete with operating theatre and we microchip all adopted cats, dogs, rabbits and ferrets.
Our team of dedicated staff and volunteers strive to rescue and rehabilitate all animals and ensure that they all receive the best possible care and the chance to find their new forever homes or be released back into the wild.
