Rehoming information

Thank you for showing an interest in adopting one of our animals. They are at the animal centre through no fault of their own.

Many have been abused and neglected and desperately need a stable new home and loving care. All the animals in our care want to be adopted and we want to do our best to achieve this.   

In 2009, the branch successfully re-homed 315 dogs, 277 cats, and 141 rabbits and other animals.

We are very proud to announce that, based on RSPCA rehoming figures for 2008/09, our animal centre achieved the 3rd best record in the country for rehoming dogs and the 12th best in the country for rehoming cats.

We all need a home!

Important

It is important that you visit the Warrington Animal Centre to see the animal that you are interested in.  We are happy to answer any questions over the phone, but we cannot arrange adoptions by phone, you must come to the centre in person to adopt.

If you wish to enquire about the availability of a particular type/breed of animal held at the centre for adoption, please telephone during opening hours as we do not respond to emails about this subject.

Home checks are made to ensure that each animal goes to a suitable home and to ensure that there a good match between the animal and the potential adopter and that the new home is suitable for that animal.

The adoption fees from July 2009 are:

  • Cats £50; kittens £60 
  • Dogs from £95; puppies £110 
  • Rabbits: female £20; neutered males £27
  • Guinea Pigs, Degus, Gerbils, Hamsters, Mice, Rats, Chinchillas, Chipmunks, Budgies, Cockatiels, Canaries at various prices when available

All animals entering the animal centre are examined, treated (including worming and flea treatment), neutered (dogs, cats, male rabbits) and micro-chipped prior to re-homing. Occasionally puppies and kittens, if very young, will not have been neutered and, in these cases, a voucher will be issued to cover the cost of future treatment.

We highly recommend pet insurance, as expenses can be quite high should the animal suffer an accident or develop a serious illness in later life.
