An animal centre is thriving after its recent redevelopment has made it both a rescue centre and an education hub for the community. The RSPCA Radcliffe Animal Centre completed its new reception and education building shortly before the pandemic hit, but say that now things have settled down they can really make use of their facilities with the community as a rehoming and education centre.
There has been a rescue centre on the site in Radcliffe since 1964, but the trust which runs the centre now was created in 1973, and later split into three parts. The recent redevelopment has allowed for dozens of educational signs to be placed in each area of the site, so that visitors can learn more about the animals and how to care for them properly, in addition to the greater work the centre does.
At the end of November 2022, there were 36 cats in the centre, 8 rabbits and 68 dogs. Before the redevelopment of the reception area and new education suite, the centre redeveloped the cattery and kennel blocks.
