RSPCA West Dorset Branch is a separate charity affiliated to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA). We cover the towns of Dorchester, Bridport, Weymouth, Portland, Lyme Regis, Charmouth, Sherborne and Axminster (Devon) as well as all the surrounding villages and hamlets. Our main priorities are the welfare and rehoming of local animals. We raise our funds within the Branch boundaries and all money raised is spent within the area. We are responsible for "Taylors Animal Rehoming Centre" at Kingston Maurward, Dorchester. |
If you wish to report an Animal Emergency or have concerns regarding the welfare of an animal please telephone 0300 1234 999. Please also call this number if you need to have an unowned or wild animal collected by an RSPCA Animal Collection Officer. PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL US REGARDING EMERGENCIES OR CRUELTY AS THIS IS NOT THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY OF DEALING WITH SUCH MATTERS. CALL 0300 1234 999 AND REPORT THE MATTER TO THE RSPCA NATIONAL CALL CENTRE. THANK YOU. |

Unfortunately, on the 27th September, we had to put our beloved Sharpie to sleep. He was old boy who had had a great life as our head receptionist for 4 years. Sharpie came to us on the 9th March 2014 with severe cat flu and he became our receptionist and called Taylors his home for the rest of his life. Sharpie had become increasingly ill and he no longer had a good quality of life, so we made the heart breaking decision to put him to sleep. As you can imagine this is very hard for all the staff and all that knew him. Thank you to everyone who met Sharpie and gave him cuddles and love.

We are in desperate need of more donated cat food for the residents at Taylor's. Can you help? Our cats are fed exclusively on Whiskas and Felix, as using a variety of cat foods can upset their tummies. If you could possibly donate a few cans or pouches, we would be extremely grateful. Food can be dropped off at Taylor's, or at any of our Charity Shops in Dorchester, Bridport and Sherborne. If you live too far away, you can donate cat food money by PayPal - just remember to send us a message to say that's what your donation is for. Thank you very much!
The animals at Taylor's have an Amazon Wish List...
The animals have compiled their Amazon Wish List which can be found here https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/registry/wishlist/?ie=UTF8&cid=AJC5927PJWLUQ If you would like to treat our animals please buy them a little pressie - you can have it delivered straight to Taylor's. Be sure to email us and let them know it's on the way as they would love to say Thank You! Calling All Knitters....
Can you help our cats & kittens feel snug and safe, whilst they await a new home. We need knitted or crocheted blankets for the cats to curl up on in their cat beds. Ideally they should measure 1 metre square (2 1/2 - 3 foot) so that they cover the whole cat bed or shelf. The blankets can be any colours and made out of any type of wool. A lot of the blankets that people make for us are made up of knitted squares and of all types of odd wool. We are always in need of lots of blankets, as they only have a limited shelf life, as they need to be washed at high temperatures to kill any germs, and can get quite furry after a while. Out of all the animal bedding we have here, these are what our cats prefer!!!!! If you can't knit, and would like to donate any wool for others to make us blankets, then please contact the Centre on 01305 259672 or call into our shops in Dorchester, Bridport and Sherborne.
