Neglected and abused pets could miss out on vital support to find a new home after an animal rescue centre announced it could close due to financial pressures.
RSPCA Warrington, Halton and St Helens (RSPCA-WHS) said it is struggling to make ends meet to cover the £28,000 income every month needed to stay open. Any closure would mean the centre misses out on reaching its 40th anniversary next year and an uncertain future for the dogs and cats who are helped on their way to a new home every year.
Branch staff and volunteers specialise in helping animals rescued by RSPCA inspectors. A RSPCA-WHS spokeswoman said the team plays a major role in providing medical and behavioural rehabilitation and work with foster families and residents to find “truly loving forever homes”.
