Sprotbrough WI Spring Fair was a huge success. Thank you to everyone who came along to support us.

Last week we presented a cheque for £820 to Steve and Lauren from Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

Here at the RSPCA Doncaster and Rotherham Branch, we care for over 1000 animals per year ranging from dogs, cats, puppies and kittens to birds, wildlife and rabbits. We aim to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home every animal that we care for. That being said, some animals are in our care longer than others.

Here are some of our current long-stay residents, all of whom are ready and waiting for their forever families.

We're happy to announce our previous longest-stay rabbit, Casper has a reserve so will hopefully be going to his forever home very soon. This means that Elena is our most current longest-stay bunny who is looking for a family. She is a shy bunny that needs to build her confidence. She loves her veggies, digging through her bedding and having a good snooze. She would benefit from the company of another rabbit friend. An ideal home for Elena would be with children over the age of 10 years old.

Our longest-stay feline residents are Desmond and Reginald; this playful pair, are on the lookout for their new home together. Desmond is sweet-natured but is a little timid at times. However, his confident pal Reginald brings him out to be his true self, and they conquer the world together. The pair can live with children aged 5 + and with other cats. They may also be able to live with cat-friendly dogs if introduced slowly.

We are also searching for a family for the lovely Mac, he came into the centre through no fault of his own and has found it hard to adapt to cattery life. Mac has been on foster for the last few months and is proving to be a very nice-natured, affectionate cat. He does take a while to come round to his surroundings and get used to people, but once he is happy around you, he will snuggle up to your leg and do zoomies around the house. Mac would be best suited to an adult-only home where he can be left to do things in his own time without being pushed. He should also be the only pet for now until he settles in.

Unfortunately, Stella is still with us, she is our longest-stay canine. She's now 1 years old and has been with us for almost half of her life. Stella is a sweet girl and could live with children over 12 years old. She would need to be the only dog in the household for now. Due to a leg injury early on in life, Stella requires physiotherapy treatment and would need a family who understands she may need additional care in the future.

Whether you are on the lookout for a dynamic duo or a sole companion, we have a wide variety of animals currently available for adoption – from dogs and cats to rabbits and guinea pigs.

When one of our animals becomes available for adoption, they are posted on our website (https:// www.rspcadoncasterrotherham.org.uk/animals-for-adoption) and Facebook page. If you are interested in adopting an animal, please follow the process explained on our website.

There are many ways to help RSPCA Doncaster, Rotherham and District Branch with our mission to rehome and rehabilitate animals including volunteering, donating cash or goods, leaving a legacy, and sponsoring through our Safe Haven programme and attending events.

We have charity shops at Bawtry, Rossington and Thorne, as well as eBay and Depop. At the Animal Centre, we rehabilitate and re-home the animals in our care and have a pet supplies store on site for all your requirements.
