Founded in 1962 RSPCA Westmorland is an independent and mostly self-funding branch of the RSPCA, based in the historic town of Kendal.
The main aim is to take in neglected or abused animals and then nurse them back to health, rehabilitate them and find a loving permanent home for each and every one. The RSPCA is an essential service which relies heavily on the wonderful work carried out by the dedicated team of volunteers within the local community. Every penny raised is used by the branch specifically for the care of animals and the prevention of further cruelty or neglect. As part of the service veterinary treatment is provided for animals owned by people on means tested benefits. The animals are neutered, microchipped and vaccinated (where appropriate) before they are rehomed.
The rescued dogs and cats are cared for at the Milnthorpe Kennels and Cattery by Stella and Chris Norman and their team until they are adopted or fostered. The Westmorland branch manager Christine Lowe explained how one rescue dog found his happy ending. When Golden Retriever Troy first came to the kennels he was in a very sorry state but it soon became obvious he had found his forever home, winning the hearts of Stella and Chris Norman who nursed him back to health.
