<span lang="EN" style="background: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When I started as manager at the RSPCA
Manchester & Salford branch 10 years ago I could not have imagined what my
work could be like 10 years down the line. I'm not sure I could have even
imagined still being here 10 years later, but I think that is testament to the
fact that this is such a varied and unique job. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In
2008 the RSPCA Manchester & Salford Branch consisted of one charity shop
with 2 part time staff and 2 animal rehoming staff. I laugh now, but I didn't
even drive back then! Thankfully it was a condition of my employment that I had
to learn to drive and within a year I had passed my test. Now in 2018 my job is
largely out and about on the road, we have 5 charity shops with 13 retail
staff, 3 p/t rehoming staff and an office administrator. The branch now needs
over half a million a year to operate, which is no mean feat to achieve as a
self-funding charity.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In
2008 we admitted just over 300 cats, dogs and rabbits. We had a handful of
foster carers back then and paid to keep our animals in private boarding
establishments. <span style="background: white; mso-highlight: white;">By the end
of 2018 we will have admitted in the region of 500 cats,</span> rabbits, guinea
pigs, rats and reptiles. We still operate largely out of boarding facilities
but have a considerable network of dedicated volunteer foster carers to help us
specialise in rehabilitating animals who cannot cope in a ‘kennel’ environment.
These days we have carved a name for ourselves for helping animals with complex
health and behavioural issues. We love nothing more than helping a cat that requires
extensive care to help save a limb, a rabbit gradually adjust to life outside a
cage or a lizard struggling to heal from its former life of deprivation.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The
striking diversity of the animals the RSPCA Manchester and Salford Branch now
admits reflects how we have adapted to best support the needs of the National RSPCA
inspectorate to do their job (we are a separately registered charity to the National Society but work closely with them to take in animals they rescue). Our focus is ever more on rabbit admissions, with
a monthly vet bill that routinely exceeds £3,000 for just this one species. Then
there is the Reptile Project at the Stockport Adoption Centre where we admit a
small range of inspector rescued lizards and snakes thanks to Support Adoption
for Pets and Pets at Home installing a suite of vivaria in their Stockport
store. This is a partnership project with the National RSPCA and we work
closely together and financially support the cost of rehabilitating and
rehoming these animals. Sadly we see first hand how these poor creatures suffer
as a result of ill-advised husbandry, and you wouldn’t believe the number of
stray reptiles the inspectors collect once there are a few hot days in summer!</span></span></div>

course all of this has broadened my knowledge beyond belief. It is an absolute
privilege to work with such a wide range of animals under the guidance of
experts and a relentlessly committed team of people. It steered me to
consolidate my knowledge with a qualification from Bristol University in
Companion Animal Welfare and Behaviour in 2014. My savings never did recover
after that but I am all the better for the education and continue with CPD to

am hugely proud of the RSPCA Manchester & Salford Branch’s achievements.
Our team is amazing and everyone seems so connected to what we do. Without
everyone’s contribution we simply could not function. Every person’s
contribution, passion, love and commitment means that each year we really make
a difference to so many individuals. The team are what drive me to keep going,
along with the supporters and donors who show us that they care on a regular
basis. Like the unfamiliar donor who sends in a cheque, or the adopter who
emails an update 5 years after they took their beloved animal home, the adopter
who comes back to us for a new companion, or the supporter who sends us an
email to say thank you for doing what we do. These things spur me on.</span><br />

<span lang="EN" style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When
I first wrote this blog I went into detail about how challenging and difficult
the job can be and documented some of the most upsetting cases I had seen over
the years. But then an encounter occurred that made feel like celebrating
rather than dwelling on the sadness that we see. One Saturday recently a
potential adopter came to meet a pedigree cat that had been used for breeding
purposes. The cat was timid and generally worried about life and needed a very
special home. As soon as the cat and the visitor met each other they formed an
instant connection and purring commenced for the next 15 minutes! I encouraged
the potential adopter to stay as long as she wanted but after 20 minutes she
said she had to go because a taxi was running for her outside. It transpired
that the lady had been let down with a lift and travelled a good 30 minutes via
a taxi to make sure ‘she did not let the cat down just like her previous owner
had’. The lady said she knew from the moment she saw her photograph on the
website that this was the cat for her. When the time came to leave tears began
to well because she did not want to leave her behind. She knew how special this
little girl was and what a difference she could make to her life. I was so moved
and in an instant the horrors of the week melted away. It’s moments like these
that set you up to keeping fighting on.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

am grateful to have been a part of something so special over the last 10 years.
I am grateful to the people who have made it so special and for motivating and
inspiring me, and above all making me smile when I have felt like I have
nothing left to smile about. The next 10 years will likely be much of the same,
but one thing is for sure, I’ll still keep admitting more animals than we have
space for!</span></span></div>

The office is always the busiest today with staff playing catch up from over the weekend which includes the usual office calls, emails and queries, liaising with National RSPCA staff about which new animals are coming into our care, dealing with animals currently in our care (vet trips, delivering supplies, organising pictures and write ups for ones ready for adoption) not including all the admin involved with running our branch and its 5 shops, phew! But today we got an extra special reminder as to why it's all worth it when we received an amazing update.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Our regular social media followers will recognise Dobby's name instantly. Dobby came into our care as a tiny, terrified and broken little boy. An extremely distressing video of a black and white kitten was given to the National RSPCA who sent an inspector out straight away. The video shows a kitten being repeatedly thrown from a trampoline by young children and eventually hitting the ground. <a href="https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/rspca-investigate-after-children-filmed-14751444">You can read the news story here but be aware of distressing footage and images. </a> Thankfully the amazing inspector located the kitten from the video and took him straight into a vet for emergency treatment. <span style="font-size: x-small;">Please note that the cruelty investigation is now closed but for legal reasons we cannot provide further details.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Despite his happy little face, on examination he was found to have a broken collar bone, swollen head and other soft tissue injuries. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Thanks to the amazing vet treatment he received and lots of TLC by the vets and nurses, the little kitten, now named Dobby pulled through. Once stable he moved into our branch's care and into a foster home. After a few weeks his foster parents helped him to literally bounce back into a lively, playful kitten.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Whilst in his foster home Dobby met his foster parents resident cats but also other foster kittens. He made a special bond with Harry. Harry is another kitten who had a terrible start and had to be rescued. He was found scared and alone in a member of the public's garden. Thankfully he was also collected by a National RSPCA inspector and came into our care where he met Dobby. They were best buddies from the start and we truly believe they helped each other get better and focus on being kittens again! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So back to today, Monday morning and we received this picture....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik0MzH4InMF1QNW59d3Xm7XGZN6N7psUeCqncUM1JXcRlT1aoGx5TF5p-c-v6zpxD1MmbPfdwvIPyujPP8ngSqHS2RgJU_UmcOFnGJ0RiZHE1_2JfisjZPbF_sJ01EttEfTBbKv9K-V9U/s1600/Dobby+and+Harry+in+their+new+home.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik0MzH4InMF1QNW59d3Xm7XGZN6N7psUeCqncUM1JXcRlT1aoGx5TF5p-c-v6zpxD1MmbPfdwvIPyujPP8ngSqHS2RgJU_UmcOFnGJ0RiZHE1_2JfisjZPbF_sJ01EttEfTBbKv9K-V9U/s640/Dobby+and+Harry+in+their+new+home.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Dobby & Harry settled into their forever home after being adopted last week. So there you go - this is what it's all about. All the hard work from the people who reported both kittens as needing help, the National RSPCA who went out to assist, the vets & nurses who treated them to the foster home who got them 'right' again to the amazing people who decided to adopt and not shop and take our boys into their family. Go team RSPCA!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Of course our work never stops and as I write this the National RSPCA will be taking hundreds of calls of animals in need, vets & nurses will be treating abused and injured animals and our foster homes will be working hard caring for their charges. If you'd like to help there's lots of ways you can!</span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Fast forward and we've been open a month and its been going
better than any of us expected! We've been really well received within the community and sales have been fantastic. Our charity shops fund our work therefore the more money they make the more animals we can help who have been rescued from cruelty, neglect and abandonment by the National RSPCA inspectors. The shop couldn't have opened at a better time as demand on the charity has continued. <b>In June our animal rehoming team smashed their adoption record and rehomed 56 animals </b>(that's 31 cats, 11 rabbits, 6 guinea pigs, 6 rats and 2 reptiles!). So a huge thank you to everyone that has made us so welcome to the area!</span><br />

TV. It is an immersive and engrossing experience following individuals through
highs and lows, watching them fighting against the odds; let's face it so many of us root for the underdog! Funnily enough this pretty much sums up our experience of rehabilitating
and rehoming National RSPCA rescued animals. </span></span></span></div>

is akin to a ‘journey’ like that of a reality TV star. It is frequently
over-flowing with feelings as we lunge from one emotion to the next as we take
into our hearts and our care individuals who need us the most. Often in one day
we experience euphoria, hope, frustration and sometimes despair. Having an
animal to hug when times are tough should not be underated! </span></span></span></div>

volunteers and staff at the Manchester and Salford branch. Nearly 600 animals
came into the branch’s care, many with problems we just couldn’t overcome due to the nature of the neglect and/or cruelty they experienced. However, 482 did find homes by the end of the year whilst the rest got to sit it out a bit longer waiting for a
special home to call their own. Our staff and volunteers work so hard for each and every animal and we are so grateful to them.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt;">A highlight of 2017 has been
<b>working closely with the RSPCA Greater Manchester Animal Hospital </b>taking in
cats that have had extensive fracture repairs and in need of long term
rehabilitation. We are always happy to help, whenever we can, with animals that need months <span style="font-size: small;">of additional care before they are ready to be adopted. Our spaces are limited as we are only a small charity that rely on foster homes but we do make a difference to cats like Dennis…..</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Dennis was reported to the National RSPCA in mid-2017. He was reported to have been found alone, dragging his leg behind him and in a rather terrible state. He was quickly picked up and brought to the local animal hospital. X-rays showed he had a femoral head fracture. It was thought that the leg could possibly be saved but after many operations vets had to admit defeat and remove the leg entirely. Poor Dennis was now a tripod! After several months of treatment and rehabilitation he was finally put up for adoption towards the end of the year.</span></span></span></div>

Sadly Dennis is now our longest stay cat, as such we've popped him back into a foster home as he wasn't keen on the cattery.

and will be our first new shop in 5 years, so we are all really excited about
this new opportunity. If you live in the area keep us in mind as we'll need lots of good quality donations when we first open! Our charity shops fund the majority of our work so they really are truly vital.</span></span></span></div>

for 6.5 years I thought I had a good idea of what being an inspector involved
but as I approach the end of week 10 (of 31) I cringe at how clueless I was.
Last week me and my group of 24 other trainees finally left the classroom where
we'd spent 2 months studying the English legal system, police powers, the
Animal Welfare Act and various other bits of legislation. Considering the National RSPCA
inspectors have no legal power it's amazing how much they need to know and how
dependent they are on the Police and on good animal welfare laws to back them
up. </span></i></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<i><span style="background: #f1f0f0; color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">After talking about what we can and can't do we finally got to put some of
our new knowledge into practice with 3 weeks of field training; I've been
sent to the Shropshire group which covers a vast, rural area. So far I've
checked on chickens, sheep, a few dog welfare concerns and have a meeting
booked in regarding puppy farms. It's very different seeing these things in
real life to on the TV especially when you don't know what's waiting for you
behind the front door but it's great to finally start helping the team. </span></i></div>

<i><span style="background: #f1f0f0; color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">Thankfully we did get a little light relief before the real work with a visit
to one of the four National RSPCA wildlife hospitals. I spent two days at West Hatch in
Somerset learning handling techniques as calls to attend injured wildlife are
by far the most common. A Barn Owl, a hedgehog, a bat, a very angry swan and over 30
juvenile seals (very cute but very aggressive!) had the pleasure of my company
but I fear after practising catching and bagging, the swan may never speak to
me again. </span></i></div>

<i><span style="background: #f1f0f0; color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">We have more exams, more legislation and thankfully plenty more
practical learning sessions such as boat training and large animal care lined
up for us over then next 20 weeks but looking forward to seeing some of the
animals I've rescued going up for adoption at the Manchester and Salford
Branch, only 5 months left to wait!</span></i></div>

as we have two members of staff leaving us this year! As a team of four ladies
(on the animal side of things) the loss of half our workforce is a scary
thought! However, we are extremely happy as Deborah (left) who has been
with us for 6 years, 3 months, has been accepted on to the National RSPCA
inspector training course and Catherine (below) is leaving us
temporally to have another beautiful baby! </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">We are so very proud of ‘our Deb’ for making it
through the rigorous selection process and starting her training in November.
She’ll be training for a year before graduating as a fully fledged inspector.
As many of you will know, we work very closely with the National RSPCA
inspectors who are the front line service for rescuing the animals we then
rehabilitate and rehome. Therefore, we hope to see lots of Deborah in her new
role!</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The most common reasons that animals come into our
care are abandonment (being left in woods, outside vets or at the side of busy
roads to name a few!) or due to concerns over welfare. However, in the second
half of the year we’ve had two unusual cases we’d like to share with you!</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>

National RSPCA inspectors were called to a case where a cat was reported to have a hook in her mouth. On arrival, lo and behold that was indeed the case! This poor girl had a fish hook completely through her delicate mouth. Thankfully, she was rescued and received immediate vet care. The offending item was removed and after some TLC Annette, as we named her, is now up for adoption!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sadly, Annette wasn’t microchipped and her owner did not come forward but <a href="http://www.manchesterandsalfordrspca.org.uk/cats.html">we are hopeful she’ll find a new, loving family very soon or even, maybe with you?!</a></span></div>

As much as we absolutely dote on our cats, piggies, ratties, mice and reptiles—rabbits are our passion. As such, when we received a request from an inspector to take in a badly burned rabbit we had to help. However, we were shocked when we actually saw our girl, Pia. She was found by staff at a car scrapyard, collapsed with burns, probably caused by something on site. She was quickly sent for a consultation with our exotic vet and began treatment which included twice daily cleaning and medication. Despite the pain she must have been in Pia remained trusting of people and adores her fusses! She has been a true success story and is also now available for adoption. <a href="http://www.manchesterandsalfordrspca.org.uk/rabbits.html">Perfect house bunny anyone?</a></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span lang="en-GB" style="language: en-GB; mso-ansi-language: en-GB; mso-ligatures: none;">With so many needy animals coming into our care this year it’s no wonder that the monthly cost to run the branch is currently roughly £30,000. To put this into perspective, the basic cost of neutering, microchipping, vaccinating, blood testing and flea/worming a cat ready for adoption is nearly £300. Add to that any costs for treating additional health problems plus paying for boarding in a private cattery (we don’t have an animal centre) and food, litter, toys etc—the expenses can soon can spiral! Therefore, anyone who offers to fundraise for us is welcomed with giant, open arms! This Autumn we’ve had several amazing supporters step forward and do amazing challenges for our animals….</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span lang="en-GB" style="font-weight: bold;">June's heatwave saw animal rehoming grind to a halt for over a week. Seemingly the idea of having to keep windows and doors shut to prevent newly adopted cats and kittens from escaping was too much, and who could disagree! Whilst our rehoming figures for June were lower than normal we still had many new admissions and some surprising ones at that!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span lang="en-GB" style="language: en-GB; mso-ansi-language: en-GB; mso-ligatures: none;">At the height of the stifling heat it seems that some reptiles in Manchester also got the chance to bask in the natural warmth and UV on offer, or so it seemed. On the Monday a tortoise found themselves in an industrial park in Salford, whilst a frantic member of the public in South Manchester lost their juvenile tortoise following a potter in the garden. Two missing tortoises in one day is pretty remarkable and we had high hopes that they were one and the same, but alas were not. The next day brought us a very tame corn snake that had been found slithering in a suburban street (not quite as uncommon as you'd think!). But the following day brought us a double surprise, albeit double edged.</span></span></div>

She had a job come through to collect a stray Iguana with a lump on the side of his face. Not sounding good we made immediate plans to meet with inspector and make provision for him to be seen by an exotic vet specialist. This was quite an exciting time for us as we generally only help with snakes, geckos and bearded dragons so imagine our surprise when the same inspector got another a call to collect another iguana, this time at the RSPCA Greater Manchester Animal Hospital in Salford. </span></span></div>

By now it was early evening and so we accompanied her to a specialist exotic vets out of hours. Upon immediate sight of the first iguana it was clear that it was no coincidence that he had found himself homeless. His enormous facial swelling was preventing him from eating and he was emaciated, with no fat reserved left on him. The likely diagnosis was one of 3 things: an abscess, tumour or osteomyelitis, any one of which was going to be causing him considerable pain and unlikely to be successfully treated. The vet advised that euthanasia was the kindest option and seeing him in the flesh, in such obvious distress, we couldn't help but think he had deliberately and cruelly abandoned.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span lang="en-GB" style="language: en-GB; mso-ansi-language: en-GB; mso-ligatures: none;">The other iguana was in good health, albeit retaining some of his shed. He was quite a feisty chap but it wasn't until he got warmed up overnight that he revealed just how grumpy he was, although it has to be said that iguanas are notorious for this behaviour. So we had to board him at the specialist vets for week to give the owner a chance to come forward. Unsurprisingly no one claimed him so we transferred him to a specialist reptile facility for assessment and rehoming. </span></span></div>

We then have to find the money to pay for the veterinary treatment, boarding and transfer of the animals and this doesn't come cheap. For the two iguanas we spent over £300 taking care of their needs. This is £300 that we have to raise ourselves as we do not receive any government funding. One third of our money comes from our <a href="http://www.manchesterandsalfordrspca.org.uk/shop_locations.html">4 charity shops</a>, another third through legacies and the remaining from community fundraising, donations and grants. So you can see that your support truly helps us to save lives and, crucially, end suffering.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A hutch is not nearly enough for these energetic and intelligent creatures and companionship with their own kind is often vital. Despite spending the past 9 years educating adopters in the North West on the merits of good rabbit welfare we are still inundated with the little critters. I’ve lost track of the amount of times Susie, the charity's manager, has promised not to admit another bunny until our numbers drop and then cave in as an Inspector shows her a photo of a large breed bunny in a tiny hutch with nothing but bread for food. But that’s why we are here after all, to help those who have not experienced a good start in life. <span style="background-color: #351c75;"><b><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #351c75;">You can help us help more rabbits in need by texting BUNS09 £1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or £10 to 70070 today!</span></span></span></b></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span lang="en-GB" style="language: en-GB; mso-ansi-language: en-GB; mso-ligatures: none;">Thankfully the never ending calls from inspectors to admit animals have been offset by our remarkable rehoming figures for this quarter. We have already found forever homes for 129 animals in 2017 which is unheard of as January, February and March are normally the quiet time when we gather together our aims and ideas for the year ahead, but no such luck. Last year I selfishly despaired when we failed to hit the 500 mark when really, for such a small branch without its own animal centre, 498 animals rehomed is well worth celebrating (I could have fit another 2 in somewhere at home, I’m sure!) but it looks like we are well on target this year to achieve another record breaking year. </span></span></div>

On closer examination she was found to have a metal plate in her pelvis, so was obviously as well loved companion at some point. Without a traceable owner we ended up having to amputate her tail and find her a new home which I am very happy to say we did in March after 9 weeks rehabilitation. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span lang="en-GB" style="language: en-GB; mso-ansi-language: en-GB; mso-ligatures: none;">Just this week alone we have been asked to help with three large scale rabbit rescues, ranging from 40 to 80 rabbits in each single property. It is massive undertaking which one branch cannot cope with alone so all the branches from the surrounding areas just have to take what they can. The upside of these cases is a constant stream of cuteness for us as there will always be one mummy bunny having just given birth; we have a litter in at the moment that are 4 weeks old who are just the perfect size for snuggling! </span></span></div>

I’m always moved to see brave, determined people fighting against the elements as they burst through the door with ‘bags for life’ full of goodies in their hands and we always make sure to give them a hero’s welcome. Good news is that Spring is here and the weather is finally getting warmer!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span lang="en-GB" style="color: black;">Sunny days are always the most profitable so it’s vital we make the most of every single one we get. If you’ve started your spring clear out, we’d be incredibly grateful for some more summery dresses, tops and t-shirts. They absolutely fly off the rails when the climate is right so we really never can have enough.</span></span></div>

You are more than welcome to drop it into any of the shops for us to pass on, and of course you can always double your contribution by buying a few things while you’re here if you fancy treating yourself.</span></span></div>

It is a rare limited edition book called Wyman Shoots Chagall by Bill Wyman. It is edition number 19 of 50 and includes a signed and numbered photo of the artist Chagall and his wife! The donor was aware of its potential value and has so generously given us this and many other amazing books to raise money for the animals.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Franklin came into our care <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">three</span> months ago with a
terrible injury as a result of one of these lethal elasticated collars. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">M</span>ostly likely, Franklin</span> got his collar caught on something, then
pawed at his collar to try and free himself and in
the process got his leg stuck through it instead. The collar was then
tightly lassoed around his neck and armpit and as time wore on the
collar began to dig in to his skin and create a deep tear. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Twelve</span> weeks on
and the wound looks as <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">painful</span> as ever and our vet

collar embedded under his armpit Franklin has received <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">five</span> operations in
an attempt to rejoin the skin and heal the gaping hole which has formed. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">He ha<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">s undergone</span></span> pioneering surgery involving<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span>a complicated skin graft, but as the skin in this area is so delicate,
and cats aren’t the easiest animals to keep still even on cage rest (and

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">After the final attempt at re-stitching the hole
failed at the end of March we sombrely took him back to the vets. Not
knowing if there was anything left to try we thought it might be time to
give up for his sake but our excellent vet had one last suggestion<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">:</span>
leg amputation. Amputating what seemed to be a fully<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">-</span>functioning limb
was a big decision but as the vet explained, the limb had a long open
wound on it that would <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">likely </span>never heal. So we booked him in for the op. It
seemed quite drastic but if it would save
Franklin’s life we were willing to give it a go. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="Normal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The wound was continually opening up because there was
very little skin to work with and Franklin was pulling on it every time
he stretched out, went to the toilet or just stood up. By amputating
the leg more skin would be available to close
the wound and Franklin wouldn’t be able to put pressure on the wound as
he’d have no leg to pull at the armpit. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Now we are just keeping everything crossed that the
surgery goes well and our lad makes a speedy recovery. Not having to be

will be Franklin’s final operation and then we can start working towards
getting him ready for adoption. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Keen followers of our work may be forgiven in thinking that
we’ve had a quiet start to 2017. The website has been a little barren at times,
appearing like there have been few animals in our care, but behind the scenes
it’s fair to say we’ve been close to melt down on more occasions than we care
to count. So if we were caring for so many animals at our branch why doesn’t our website reflect this I hear you ask? Well
as Winter time sees a drop in kittens and pregnant queens we have the time and resources to focus on those animals that need extra TLC and veterinary intervention. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The RSPCA Greater Manchester Animal Hospital (run by the National RSPCA) has been
undertaking some amazing rehabilitation work with animals rescued by National RSPCA inspectors of late (the ones you see on TV!). Once healthy enough to be discharged we’ve been offering our care
skills to take in animals that are still a fair way off being ready for
adoption. These animals need regular medication, frequent vet trips and of
course carry extra costs with their rehabilitation too. In our last blog we
introduced you to our special little Sausage. After 5 weeks she is now fully
recovered from her infection and tail amputation and is finally listed on our
<a href="http://www.manchesterandsalfordrspca.org.uk/cats.html">‘cats for adoption’ page</a>. Sausage is a typical example of the kind of animals
we are aiming to help before the kitten season renders most animal
charities (avoidably) hand-tied for months on end. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Kip</b> has had a
relatively quick turnaround compared to some of our other cases with his
rehabilitation lasting just 3 weeks. However, 5 vet trips in that short space
of time he’s certainly been making use of our staff! Kip was rescued by the
National RSPCA after being found straying with an injury on his front left paw.
Basically he had two nasty puncture wounds on his pad and one toe had been
completely degloved. His paw looked like it had been through a meat mangler, as
you can see from the picture! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Kip arrived at the RSPCA animal hospital on the 26<sup>th</sup> January and after receiving treatment he was transferred to our branch on
the 2<sup>nd</sup> February. Kip was discharged with a nice green bandage
going all the way up his leg and a care plan in place for him which involved
antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs and Manuka honey for the wound. What
complicated matters slightly was his determination to get the bandage off,
which soon resulted in him wearing the cone of shame and an extra vet trip.
Three weeks on and you’d barely notice that Kip’s paw had anything wrong with
it. Thanks to his diligent foster mum and a fantastic group of veterinary staff
he now just has a hard little lump at the end of his toe which will probably
always remain there: certainly a far cry from his bloody paw, which could have
resulted in a whole leg amputation if left untreated had infection set in.
Not surprisingly, after spending so much time nursing him back to health, his
foster mum has decided to keep him, lucky boy!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Next up we have <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Mossy</b>,
a 3 year old cat who was collected by an inspector at the end of January having
been found straying with a broken front leg.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>His fracture was so bad that again amputation was considered but the
vets believed it was worth trying to save his leg first, which meant fitting a metal
support on the outside of his leg to help the broken bones fuse back together.
We knew that Mossy would be with us a good few months and would need a long
list of medication including frequent paw massages to stop it swelling up.
Three weeks into his rehabilitation and he’s making good progress, he’s on cage
rest to stop him trying to walk around but his foster mum reports that his
metal support doesn’t stop him trying. He’s also wearing a cone to prevent him
licking the wound; the poor lad must be quite uncomfortable with all the extra
gear he’s got on at the moment. But a recent vet check shows he’s heading in
the right direction, at least another 6 weeks of cage rest is needed before a
second x-ray is taken and his metal support is removed. So watch this space for
updates!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">You might have seen in our previous blogs and newsletters
cases of cats with allergies who take a while to ‘get right’. These poor things
normally come into our care bald or scabby or with upset stomachs and 9 times
out of 10 it’s a food or flea allergy which has done the damage. We currently
have two such residents; <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Eunice</b>, a 5
year old tortie who only has half her body covered in hair. She’s over groomed
so much that the rest of her is bald. And <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Chess</b>,
a chunky fella who has a persistent scabby area on his neck which he can’t stop
scratching at. </span></div>

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In both cases the cause is unknown but steroids are helping
to make them more comfortable whilst we figure it out. We are hopeful that
Chess will hopefully be ready for adoption in about a month. He’s currently
wearing a cone to prevent him scratching and once the area is healed the vets
are confident he can come off the steroids and lead a normal life. Eunice and
her bald belly and back on the other hand may take longer to cure, a food
allergy is a possible cause but it may also be stress. Currently she’s being
spoilt in a foster home and until her fur has fully grown back she will need to
continue the medication. Then the plan is to wean her off the steroids and see
if she starts to over groom again. If she does then she may need a specialist
diet or to go back on a low maintenance dose of steroids but I’m sure we’ll
find a solution in the end. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Last but by no means least is <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Franklin</b>, a 5 year old tabby boy who is just the most loving lad
you could ever wish to meet. He is my foster cat so I may be a little biased
but he really is great. Sadly he’s spending more time at the vets than he is in
my house at the moment. I don’t want to say too much about my boy because I’m
planning on making him the star of my next blog post but in brief he came into
our care at the end of January after being found stray with a nasty collar
wound injury. Collar wound injuries are my absolute bug bare and so unnecessary.
They are always caused by elasticated cat collars and typically the cat gets
their leg stuck through having tried to free themselves from being caught on a
bush or fence. They reach their arm through their collar to try and get free
and end up cutting the skin under the armpit. Left undiscovered the collar digs
in day after day and causes the most merciless of injuries. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This type of injury
takes months and months to heal and often has an unhappy ending because the
skin is so delicate in that area. So far Franklin is on his third operation to
fix the wound, he has to be kept on cage rest to stop him moving around, he has
to wear a collar to stop him licking the area <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">and </i>he needs to be bathed 5 to 6 times a day to keep the wound dry.
Phew. We have everything crossed for Franklin, things are looking positive at
the moment but it’s so easy for the wound to break down that things can quickly
change. <b>Keep your eyes peeled for our next blog for more about our Franklin</b> and
in the meantime make sure if your cat does wear a collar that it's a 'snap release' design and of course that they are microchipped too! </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So now you know a little about what has been going on behind
the scenes at the RSPCA Manchester & Salford Branch! We feel it’s a
privilege to be able to help these special case animals and in an ideal world
we’d never have to turn away an animal just because their recovery time was
predicted to last many weeks or months. <b>But sadly, in Summer, we get
overwhelmed by a completely preventable and unnecessary occurrence; huge numbers of unwanted pregnant cats and kittens coming into our care because
so many people don’t have their animals neutered.</b> Female cats can become
pregnant at 4 months of age! </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As soon as Spring arrives we know we’ll be drowning in
adorable kittens once again. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">

<div class="MsoNormal">

low incomes</b> (please call 0161 882 0680 option 4 or email rspcamcr_salford@btconnect.com if you live in our area and need help neutering your cat). </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Maybe encourage that friend you have to hurry up

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485780885248_75603"><span style="font-size: small;">Last week we told you the strange tale of Sausage the cat; found terribly injured following a suspected road traffic collision. Strangely, once xrayed, it was clear that she had received some life-saving surgery only recently but was not microchipped, had no collar and despite extensive efforts by our team, no one had come forward to claim her or report her missing. Read the <a href="http://rspcamcrsalford.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/the-mysterious-case-of-sausage-cat.html">full original blog post here.</a></span></span></span></span></span></div>

However, she's been a little crafty and manages to avoid her antibiotic tablets! For this reason she's had to have an injection instead - there's no avoiding that! The next step is bound to be interesting as she needs to wear her 'cone of shame' for another week.....!</span></span></span></span></span></div>

homeless, wet through and limping, a member of the public called the National
RSPCA to report that a small black cat was in need of rescue. From where she
was collected in a nearby northern town, she was taken to the RSPCA Greater
Manchester Animal Hospital in Salford. Immediately apparent was that this sweet
little girl had a flaccid tail, a nasty skin infection around her backend and was
limping. X-rays soon revealed, amongst other things, that she had most likely
been in a road traffic collision (RTC). Her tail was broken from a 'pulling' injury and required
amputation. Even more eyebrow raising was the x-ray that revealed she had
undergone major surgery to repair a broken pelvis. There it was, plain to see,
the image of a large plate screwed to one side of the pelvis.</span></span></span></span></div>

this little girl deepened. She had been through major surgery at the cost of
hundreds, if not thousands of pounds, had been lovingly nursed back to health
only to find herself in need of rescue again. There was no form of identification on
her, not even a microchip. It was all so very puzzling.</span></span></span></span></div>

that she was likely around 2 months post op, the fur having all grown back and
the fracture well healed. Perhaps she had escaped from the home after being
under 'house rest' for so long and got lost. But the question still remained,
why would someone pay so much money to save their beloved pet but not have them
microchipped? Similarly, why had the tail been left, when it was definitely in
need of removal? Perhaps further surgery was next on the agenda along with a
chip implant and the owner had run out of funds? There was so many questions
that needed to be answered.</span></span></span></span></div>

first meeting her (and having been in the care of the hospital for a week) she
was released into our care, here at the RSPCA Manchester & Salford Branch (we are a separately run charity to the hospital). No
owner had come forward despite being listed online so I collected her and took
to her foster mum, coincidentally my own mum, Janis. Upon meeting her we
both declared what a “poor sausage” she was and the name 'Sausage' stuck.</span></span></span></span></div>

sorry state; her bottom so very sore, requiring twice daily attention and
medication. This in itself is a big ask of anybody but made all the worse when
Janis discovered that Sausage did not have complete control over her bowel
movements and found herself also cleaning up poop to boot. Sausage was
nonetheless litter trained but it appeared that the RTC had also affected a
little of her sphincter control too.</span></span></span></span></div>

of cross infection Sausage could not have her tail amputated until her skin was
better. She had to wear a dreaded 'cone of shame' and over the coming days she
became more and more withdrawn. She seemed depressed and maybe even in pain and
it began us asking what was the right thing to do by her.</span></span></span></span></div>

relief and antibiotic cream it was time to take our little Sausage for a vet
check up. To our relief we were told that her skin infection had cleared and
the cone could come off and she could stop all medication. We were advised that
her poo control could be improved by a high fibre diet, so the more dry food
the better, and that the vet was now happy to amputate her tail if we thought
it was necessary. After living with Sausage for 5 days Janis was sure that
amputation was needed. Having a dead, drooped tail didn’t bother Sausage but it
did make using the litter tray rather messy as she couldn’t lift it up to get
it out of the way, so we booked her in for the operation.</span></span></span></span></div>

that vet trip we saw an instant change in her mood, being cone free and not
having cream applied to your bottom twice a day would make anyone happy! She’s
now spent 5 days relaxing and she’s like a different cat, she comes out for
fusses, greets you with a soft, contended purr and likes to sit out on show and
be admired. Sadly her poop control has not yet improved yet but it is early
days; we can experiment with different high fibre foods once the tail is
sorted. No doubt the cone will be put back on after the tail amputation but it
won’t be for long.</span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></span></span></div>

We don’t have our own animal centre and instead rely heavily on volunteer foster homes and private boarding facilities to care for our animals, and yet in 2016 we achieved results equivalent to branches with animal centres.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

By sending rabbits out on a temporary fostering basis it has given more people the confidence to try and find a buddy for their bunnies, no bunny should be lonely after all! </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

A total of 53 rats were found abandoned. Someone had clearly allowed things to get out of hand and decided to abandon them all when they could no longer cope. Branches across the region were asked to take in what they could so we admitted 11 to start with, followed by another 12 the week after. Our 23 rats quickly doubled in number as the females began to give birth and we soon found our office had turned into the ‘rat room’. Sadly a number of the rats were in a terrible condition but we managed to rehome the majority of the poor little things, including all 20 babies which were born in our care. We now just have one rat left from that case, Rowan, an elderly gentleman who has been suffering with on/off respiratory issues but thankfully he’s found himself a long term foster home so he isn’t too concerned about being overlooked!</span></span></span></span></span></div>

So </span><span lang="en-GB" style="font-weight: bold;">we launched the Reptile Rehabilitation and Rehoming Project </span><span lang="en-GB">in conjunction with the National RSPCA. We have purpose built facilities in our mini adoption centre at Pets at Home in Stockpor, kindly funded by Support Adoption for Pets. National RSPCA staff who run the centre have received specialist training to care for a variety species including bearded dragons, snakes and geckos. Rehoming started off slowly but by December we saw interest in our scaley friends increase and Jafar the bearded dragon, one of our first residents, found himself a fantastic home after waiting patiently since April. In 2016 we are proud to have admitted 25 and rehomed 15, sadly 5 had to be put to sleep due to severe health problems caused by the neglect they had suffered.</span></span></span></div>

Not only that but this year is the first time we have not had to close due to cat flu so that has helped towards our record rehoming figures too. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB" style="font-weight: bold;">We’ve seen some amazing cats pass through our cattery </span><span lang="en-GB">gates in 2016 and we’ve had a couple of special appeals for homes which have all been a massive success, but one character stands out above the rest, our handsome hunk Kurt. Kurt came to us in May after being found stray with an injured tail. He had to have the end amputated but was otherwise a healthy and happy chap. He waited for a home for two months but had no interest despite being placid, cat friendly and a gentle giant but in July he started to drink excessively. After a range of blood and urine tests he was diagnosed with renal dysfunction. This had us all in tears at the time, thinking we’d never find a home for him as if no one was interested before, why would someone want him now on a special diet and a shortened life expectancy but thankfully a miracle happened; a lovely lady came forward and Kurt is now living the high life as an owned and much loved companion animal.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">Towards the end of the year we teamed up with Cats Protection to trial a new approach to our </span><span lang="en-GB" style="font-weight: bold;">animal welfare work</span><span lang="en-GB">. A team of staff and volunteers went door to door offering free neutering, vaccinations and microchipping to cats and dogs in two targeted areas identified by data as potentially benefitting from this kind of support. We had a great response, especially in microchipping dogs, which in April became a legal requirement. So we are looking at rolling the scheme out in other areas in 2017 with our friends from Cats Protection. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">So as we say goodbye to 2016 and take a deep sigh of relief as we finish the last adoption pack, we can at least feel some satisfaction that a record breaking 498 unwanted animals are now safely tucked up inside their forever homes, preparing for a new year of regular meals, clean bedding and a loving carer. And none of that would be possible without the kindness of strangers, </span><span lang="en-GB" style="font-weight: bold;">thank you to the 498 people who have chosen to adopt rather than shop for animals in 2016 </span><span lang="en-GB">and to those supporters who continually surprise and motivate us with donations, words of encouragement and their time. From team RSPCA M&S and the 88 animals currently in our care, thank you for all you have done to make 2016 a year to remember. Roll on 2017!</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Our latest guest blog post by our branch manager Susie Hughes:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Some of you may recall Bobby from our <a href="http://rspcamcrsalford.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/bobby-baby-bunny.html">blog earlier in the year</a>. He defied the odds to
recover from one of the most horrific cases of ignorance and neglect we had
seen in a while. Alas, since then more animals have come
into the care of RSPCA Manchester and Salford Branch that have equally
distressed and dumbfounded us but all the while Bobby has been quietly fighting
for survival all over again.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When Bobby was well enough for rehoming we shared his story of recovery with
you all, but little did we know his journey had only just begun. Bobby quickly
disappeared from the adoption pages and commenced a 4 month period of
uncertainty as he battled a liver infection.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We learnt that liver infections are more common in juvenile rabbits than
most people know and because the liver regenerates most owners won't ever 'see'
any symptoms in their baby bunny much more than drinking too much. But how many
of us really know how much is too much? The juvenile bunny typically repairs
themselves without any of us knowing there was ever a problem in the first
instance, but in Bobby's case his water consumption was unmissable. Blood tests
confirmed it was his liver function causing the problem so he began a long
course of treatment.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Weeks went by and Bobby hit puberty with gusto. This meant he had the
overwhelming urge to mark his territory (something normally we can stop with neutering!). It was not his fault, he had become a
slave to his hormones but he could not be neutered due to the risk of the
anaesthetic effecting his liver further and hampering his recovery. His water
consumption was upwards of half a litre a day and this hormonally charge
mini-beast was unable to stop himself from peeing everywhere but in a litter
tray. Months ensued of mopping and cursing and filling his home with as many
litter trays as was humanly possible but it still did not deter him. It wasn't
just me that became fed up with the mess, my own rabbits became fed up living
alongside him being so offensive. Normally tolerant of any lodgers,
Reenie and Donk decided to fight back with their own wee wars, driving me to distraction! After 3 months of wading through wee in my house I was at breaking
point and there was no sign of pending recovery.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Of course I couldn't give anyone else the burden of looking after him and we
couldn't afford to board him where the bunnies are kept. I had no choice
but to continue but had by now lost all hope of him ever recovering. The exotic rabbit
specialist vet, however, was certain Bobby had a positive future ahead of him
and whilst he was growing and thriving in all other respects I confess to
having deliberately stopped myself from forming an attachment with him. To be
honest this wasn't hard because he was just so dirty! By now not a single wee
or poo landed in a litter tray and my floor was ruined. Admittedly a small price
to pay for saving a life, but I would have been a millionaire by now had I got
shares in kitchen roll!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">At the end of a long summer and when another blood test revealed no
improvement in his liver I felt so disheartened. I just couldn't see any hope
and began to fear for his future. And one day it popped out. "I love you
Bobby". As soon as I had said it I caught my breath in shock. But he then
did a massive wee on the floor and I went back to grumbling again!</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">What came of Bobby's frequent medicating actually surprised me. You
would have thought he'd be opposed to being picked up given the amount of
injections and oral medication he had but quiet the opposite occurred.
Now don't get me wrong, he's evasive of capture, but once in your arms he is
relaxed and easy to handle. This was in massive contrast to how he was as a
baby, but who could blame him given how sore he must've been to the touch.
Bobby had also grown in confidence, seemingly helped by his testosterone and he
no longer was scared of people, the resident dog or other bunnies. The latter
was my greatest source of happiness because I never thought he would be able to
be paired with a companion after the horrific attacks he endured as a baby. But
now I could see there was real hope that this lad would want a lady rabbit friend to
explore and enjoy life with.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I went away for 2 weeks in October and so Bobby boarded at the vets (in the
holiday section). I returned to the news that his water consumption had
begun to drop and over the following 2 weeks at home I continued with the daily
routine of measuring how much he was drinking. After a month of being off medication
and a decline in his drinking we repeated the blood test. Finally we had the
results we had been waiting for: Bobby's liver function was stable, there was
no more progression in the disease and he could be neutered! My joy was
palpable!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Within 3 weeks of being neutered Bobby had stopped peeing everywhere and my
rabbits had lessened their own wee retaliation. My little fighter, who had
become part of the furniture, was finally ready for rehoming. So it is
with a huge sense of relief, albeit tinged with a heavy heart, that we now
search for a special home for this extraordinary bunny. He is without doubt one
of the RSPCA Manchester and Salford Branch's greatest triumphs this year and
after 6 months and roughly £460 of veterinary costs it is my wish this Christmas that he
finds a home as a cherished house rabbit.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So why adopt Bobby? To give him the chance to blossom into the cheeky
adventurer he is desperate to be. So he can wrap you round his paws to get
extra veggies from you. To give a true survivor the outcome he deserves, and to
save me from myself! But above all to support the work of the RSPCA M&S and enable
us to help many more animals in desperate need like Bobby. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Without your help,
through adoption, donations and <a href="http://www.manchesterandsalfordrspca.org.uk/wishlist.html">gifts for the animals</a>, we could not continue to
do what we do. Sadly there are many more animals like Bobby who need us. You
can make a difference to his life and so many others and be reassured that we
are there for them. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Throughout December we will be sharing our animals' (past and present) wishes to Santa on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/RSPCAManchesterandsalford/">Facebook</a> & <a href="https://twitter.com/rspcamcrsalford">Twitter</a>!

From sales to donations, the support from our customers has been absolutely incredible and I’d like to offer my sincere thanks to all of you for contributing to the rehabilitation and rehoming of over 340 animals through 2016 so far. We’ve been given many wonderful, exciting and downright bizarre donations, and I’d like to list some of my personal favourites:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span lang="en-GB" style="font-weight: bold;">Just like us, many of the animals that come into our care suffer from allergies or sensitivities which sadly massively increases their time waiting for a forever home. </span><span lang="en-GB" style="language: en-GB; mso-ansi-language: en-GB; mso-ligatures: none;">Many people don’t want the hassle of sourcing the special diets or the extra costs which are sometimes involved so pass up the offer of meeting our ‘special needs’ cats. These cats are just as adorable, affectionate and deserving as the other cats in our care, and just as healthy if kept on the right diet, but it is a struggle to rehome them.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span lang="en-GB" style="language: en-GB; mso-ansi-language: en-GB; mso-ligatures: none;">The most common complaints are food and flea allergies, and in Camille’s case it’s both. Camille came into our care at the start of July after being found stray and bald with no sign of an owner. Her bald back and bum were classic signs of flea dermatitis which is when a cat is left with a bad flea infestation so becomes allergic to fleas and loses the hair on the lower part of the body. She was also red and balding on her face and around her eyes which is often linked to food allergies; sadly allergy testing isn’t very clear in cats so rather than waste precious resources we decided to eliminate different allergens from her diet to see what worked for her. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span lang="en-GB" style="language: en-GB; mso-ansi-language: en-GB; mso-ligatures: none;">We quickly discovered what suited Camille; monthly prescription flea treatments (which we recommend for all cats) along with a high meat content diet without all the added bulk of wheat and grain that is added to most commercial pet foods. Such a simple remedy considering the terrible state she was in when we found her. We order her food online and it costs us 90p a day, not a big ask when most people pay 60p a day for 2 sachets of Felix plus whatever the accompanying dry food costs. Camille is now healthy and hairy but after 4 months she is still waiting for someone to see past her slight affliction. </span></span></div>

clearly been kept together in large groups where they had sustained injuries

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our branch took in as many rats as we could accommodate (we had to beg borrow and steal extra cages from kindly branch supporters) and
found ourselves, amongst many others, with five females, all of whom <i>could</i> be pregnant. As a branch
we had only started rehoming rats in February and we had never cared for
newborn babies, so a bit of research was in order. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>LESSON 1</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The first thing we learnt was that the gestation period for
a rat is 21 – 24 days, so we had to keep all the girls for 3 weeks before we
would know for sure that they weren’t pregnant. We had mixed feelings about the
potential of baby rats appearing: on one hand baby animals are always a delight
and we love to learn about and take care of new species. One the other hand,
with so many rats being rescued from the same case and being cared for by RSPCA
branches in the area, there was the very real possibility that there would be so
many ratties looking for homes that it would be difficult to rehome them all.<br /><br /> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On the 30th of July the stork must have been very busy as 2
litters of babies arrived overnight. One mum (Joanna) had given birth to litter
of 10, and a second (Dawn) had produced 8 babies. The number of rats in our
care had almost trebled in one night! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We set up individual cages to separate the new families (up until
this point our 5 girls had lived together quite happily) but as females will
aggressively defend their young for several days after birth. Carefully we
scooped the mums, the beds they had given birth <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">in</span>, and the babies in into
their new, private accommodation. At this stage the babies looked like little
more than large, pink sweeties, so they were nick-named the Jellybeans.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The next two things were learnt was that the babies should
be left well alone for the first 5 days of life and that baby rats are called
pups. After a week or so it became clear why. The pups had got a bit of colour
and were looking a bit like puppies - much cuter than Jellybeans! We started to
handle the rats once they were a week old, to get them socialised and used to
human company.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So
quickly, in fact, that we had a bit of an accident at 16 days old when one pup
popped their head through a hole in the wooden shelter that was their nest and got firmly stuck.
Presumably they’d fitted with no problem a few days before, but with a bit of a
growth spurt those ears weren’t going anywhere. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After learning that rats gr<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">o</span>w in size very quickly, we also
found out that they developed rapidly too. Pups are weaned around 3 weeks and need
to be separated into same-sex groups before they are 5 weeks old, as females
can get pregnant aged 6 weeks. It is easy to see how breeding can quickly get
out of control but it is also easy to see (to put it nicely) which are boy rats
and which are girl rats, so sexing them isn’t tricky.</span></div>

<a href="http://www.manchesterandsalfordrspca.org.uk/index.html" target="_blank">RSPCA Manchester & Salford branch</a> called to say they had a very special
rabbit that needed</span><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span>a foster home I jumped at the chance. When I saw Buddy’s
photos I knew the poor boy had had a rough start in life. He had been kept with
many other rabbits in poor conditions. There were multiple abscesses on his
back end and they had been left untreated. This must have been very painful for
him. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">When he
arrived he was surprisingly bright and alert. The vets had cleaned out his
wounds and prescribed some medication to make him feel better. To make sure the
wounds healed properly they had to be cleaned twice a day and a soothing cream
applied. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The first
thing I noticed about buddy was how confident he was, considering all he had
been through. He had a good nosey around his new room, giving everything a good
sniff. He found his food in next to no time, settled down and happily began munching
away. He even met one of the resident
cats. They were very curious about each other and many sniffs were exchanged.</span></span></span></div>

was healing, the skin around the wounds became very tight and itchy. This began
to irritate Buddy, so he chewed a large flap of skin loose and reopened the
wound. This meant a trip back to the vets. The vet thought the safest option
was to put a cone on Buddy so he wouldn’t be tempted to chew at his wound.
Buddy had other ideas...</span></span></span></span></div>

enjoy wearing his cone and its destruction quickly became his sole mission in
life. He achieved this mission within the first 24 hours of wearing it. Buddy,
being a very resourceful boy, discovered that if he pressed his cone against
something solid he could then reach it with his teeth. The cone was quickly
shredded! </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">It may have
just been my imagination, but Buddy seemed very smug indeed to have done away
with the dreaded cone.</span> Thankfully
there were no further setbacks on Buddy’s road to recovery. The wounds healed
really well and his lovely glossy fur returned.</span></span></span></div>

quite unique) personality. Healthy, recovered Buddy, was a whole new rabbit,
full of mischief and fun. One of his first tricks was managing to completely
clear the baby gate in one jump. After a few unsupervised, cheeky adventures
around the house I had to upgrade to a higher gate. The cat was never far
behind, it was as if they had become mischievous partners in crime. </span></span><br />

better he makes good use of every one of his chew toys and is constantly
looking for more to do and see. He often runs around the room at full pelt,
jumping in the air, binking happily. I have even found him in the cat’s radiator bed,
which he has now claimed as his own. This boy really can jump! </span></span></span></span></div>

let Buddy have supervised time outside in a run. He was so excited by all the
new sights, sounds and smells. He did a few more binkies to let
me know he was having fun. Buddy then settled down and began to help me in my
efforts to rid my lawn of pesky dandelions. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Buddy is a

This is due to a myriad of reasons from kitten season to foster carers being on holiday but also we are now helping more animals then ever, of a wider variety of species! Since <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">March 201<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">6</span></span> we have been taking in reptiles working <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">in <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">collaboration</span> with </span></span>the National RSPCA <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">&</span> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/RSPCAAdopt/?fref=ts" target="_blank">RSPCA Adoption Centre</a> in Stockport Pets At Home. So far we've seen corn snakes, bearded dragons, pythons and geckos! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Exotic animals such as these are tricky to care for and require a lot of time and money to look after correctly. The National RSPCA inspectorate has seen an <a href="http://www.rspca.org.uk/ImageLocator/LocateAsset?asset=document&assetId=1232714006362&mode=prd" target="_blank">increase in the numbers of exotics it rescues </a>as they become more popular to have as pets. Sadly, many people do not realise the level of care they require and the animals suffer the consequences. As such the demand for rescue spaces has rocketed and why we decided to help by taking in reptiles. After all, there's no point the inspectors rescuing them if they have no where to go!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This week we experienced a very sad case of a Bearded Dragon, named Draco. Poor Draco was rescued because his owner was unable to meet his welfare needs. He is in a pitiful state, weighing a mere half of what he actually should. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Draco w<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">eighed 228g <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">whilst his average weight should be <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">at least 450g. </span></span></span></span>In fact, he<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> was</span> so weak that he can't even eat by himself which led to him being admitted to an exotic vet for tube feeding. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">H</span>is condition <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">would have taken several months to <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">deteriorate</span> to this level. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Thankfully h<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">e's now eating <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">independently</span> and weight gaining. Bloo<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">d t<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">est have shown that his kidneys are fine but he <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">is <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">anaemic</span> and has an in<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">fection. We are hoping that <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">with a treatment of ant<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">i<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">biotics and fluids he will be feeling better and able to leave the vets.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">At this moment in time we don't know whether Draco will make it but we will do all we can for him<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">.</span></span></span></span><br />

We have had our busiest six months to date, admitting and rehoming a record number of animals for this period. 263 animals have come into our care and a lucky 244 have found new homes. We say lucky because the animals adopted from us go on to live pampered lives, filled with love and kindness, which is often a far cry from what they have come from.</span></div>

<span lang="en-GB" style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It is always so restorative to later hear from adopters. They tell us how their new companion has changed their lives, how they would never want to be without them or never imagined they could love an animal quite as much as they do. It is the success of rehoming the animals that spurs us on when days and weeks are distressingly tough. Sometimes we are more robust than others, depending on what, or rather who, has come through our doors. Our fantastically dedicated team of volunteers open their hearts to these vulnerable souls and together we seem to achieve so much with so little. </span></div>

<span lang="en-GB" style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: bold;">It’s the height of kitten season and whilst we have a few tiny furry faces hiding out in foster homes, this year our spaces are being filled with golden oldies. </span></div>

It seemed like it was the young mums or adolescent males who got the short straw and needed to be rehomed. But with a recent influx of mature moggies being admitted, including two long stays that have not had a sniff of interest in, I can’t help wishing I’d kept my mouth shut. </span></div>

They are affectionate, in good health and are easy to care for and yet they are continually overlooked. Both have been well loved in the past and have ended up in our care through no fault of their own. </span></div>

He has been in foster care since April and despite being nothing but a sweet old gentleman we’ve had no offers of a home. </span></div>

After 13 years happy in her home, her owner passed away in February. It took her many weeks to settle into our care as she had never known anything other than her house and her one owner, but she is finally starting to trust us and is now a cute and curious character. </span></div>

However, with the current life expectancy of a cat around 20 years and the reassurance of a thorough veterinary health screen I feel our calm and loving golden oldies are still a good catch and are easier to care for than some of the boisterous youngsters we get through our doors!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

So next time a friend or family member decides to adopt a cat make you sure you make the case for the oldies but goodies like Sweep and Evie.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have written and rewritten the start of this blog post
countless times. The story needs to be told but how to do it justice weighs
down heavy; the responsibility so great. I feel I must start by saying what a
privilege it has been to care for this animal, to have been entrusted with his
care and to be thought so capable of doing my/our level best by him. His name
is Bobby and his story distressing, the images revolting, but I will not shy
away from showing you what the work of the RSPCA involves.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Bobby came to the RSPCA Manchester & Salford Branch at
around 7 weeks of age. When his condition was described to me over the phone I
recoiled, but not half as much as I did in reality when I touched his tiny body
for the first time. Bobby had been kept in a 4ft hutch along with his sizeable,
and unneutered, mother and father. Predictably mum had conceived once again,
soon after giving birth to Bobby. As is the case when a doe is due to give
birth she typically attacks the remaining litter to alienate them and protect
her new young. But in a 4ft hutch with nowhere to go the injuries inflicted on
Bobby were the worst I have ever seen in the 19 years I have been working in
animal rescue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It’s not uncommon to see injuries on the first litter when
another is due, and over the years I have commonly seen missing or mutilated
ears, injuries to the nose, eyes and bobtail, but never to the extent had I
seen on Bobby. The entirety of Bobby’s back can be best described as feeling
like a shell, like a tortoise shell. From neck to tail he was one undulating
mass of dense, infected scab. The repeated attacks this bunny must have endured
defies comprehension, how he was alive seemed nothing but a miracle. He could
not use his back legs, but it was unclear whether this was due to the extensive
wounding or a birth defect.</span></div>

</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The situation really did look bleak but he was eating well
and enabling us to handle him to give him medication, so we kept him confined
in an indoor cage to prevent him from
over exerting himself, although I needn’t have worried about that because it
soon became apparent just how restricted his mobility was. Yet still he had a
ferocious appetite and healthy poops – a good sign a bunny is doing well.</span><br />

this sounds you could see daylight through it as it literally began to lift
from his back. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As the scab lifted and dried the infection became more
apparent but with air getting to the site it started to improve. It took several days before it came off altogether and then
he looked like a burns victim. He looked so raw and sore but the relief the
scabbing had gone was immediately evident because within 20 minutes he was
standing on his back legs for the first time since he had arrived. I confess I
got over excited about this, but it was just an absolute joy to see.</span></div>

time he grabbed the chance to explore. Within three days he was free-roaming
and loving having the freedom to move. His back legs gradually began to regain
function, and aside from the scarring on his back, the only other tell-tale of
his past was the way he held himself. Best described as looking like his skin
was too tight, which it probably was as the healing was taking place.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It’s been nearly 3 weeks since Bobby came into our care at
the RSPCA Manchester & Salford Branch. The physical scaring maybe nearly
gone but the emotional damage is not. It is unlikely Bobby will want any
contact with another rabbit in the future, and his flighty, timid nature will
likely see him wait many months to be adopted, but regardless of these
impediments Bobby will remain with us until that day a special person comes
along to offer him a home.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I hope I never see another ‘Bobby’ for as long as I live.
What he endured, how he suffered, should never been allowed again, but we all
know that there is always going to be an animal somewhere suffering, in need of
the RSPCA. Myself and all my colleagues, whether that is branch, national or
front line field staff value your support so much, you keep us going. But it’s
the Bobby bunnies that actually motivate us to get us out of bed each day. Thank
you for enabling us to do what we do, it is an honour.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Well I’ve been
super brave over the past few years and have zip wired from the Imperial war
museum, abseiled down Europe’s tallest brick built light house and last year
almost bottled it over abseiling down the bell tower at the Trafford centre. I
felt like all my bravery had been used up so what option did I have left but to
make a fool of myself. Obviously I do this on a daily basis but it needed to be
something quite shocking to raise as much money as possible for the animals, so
a head shave seemed to be the obvious choice. </span></span>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">For the past few years my hair has been pretty short
and I’ve even had a good half of my head shaved by choice, but losing my long
blonde streak that sits proudly across the left side of my head will be
painful. Not only does it keep my head warm but it also hides my many blemishes
and general dirt that builds up throughout the day. I will be very sad to see
it on the floor being swept away. But I love animals too much to be shallow,
thinking about all the cute cats, kittens, rabbits and guinea pigs, oh not forgetting
rats that need rehabilitating and rehoming by our RSPCA branch makes it all
worthwhile. Plus I may look cool and New Age and not at all butch or ill, we
shall find out on June the 4<sup>th</sup>. I’m just praying that there isn’t a
giant birth mark or strange skin flap lying under my blonde baby hair!'' </span></span></div>

raise money for the branch I instantly thought, I can do that. But then I
spent the next three months thinking about it, after all, a fat, middle aged
woman going bald is hardly an attractive proposition! But once I decided I was
going to commit to it I thought I had better break the news to my husband. I
needn’t have worried, he was ace. He was totally supportive from the moment the
words came tumbling out of my mouth and has now decided to shave his long locks
off too (they are past his shoulders).</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Shaving my head has now become a bit of bucket list thing
for me and even my best mate Julie has decided to join us and get the lot
lopped off. For me this shows how much love there is for our charity and the
animals we care for. Me, my husband and our Julie are all middle aged and really
should know better, but what’s a bit of humiliation amongst friends, work
colleagues, family, the wider public? Oh no, the stares, the gawps the pointing
of fingers –what have I agreed to do! I’m seriously going to need an audience
on the day to make sure I go through with this challenge, so we have a special
event taking place for our volunteers, staff and supporters to watch us go
through with it.</span></span></div>

me pretty much reduced to tears as I had to face walking on broken glass, the
hot coals not so much, but the glass saw me reduced to a wobbly <span style="line-height: 115%;">mess. Shaving my head hair off maybe
lunacy, and I may very well live to regret it, but if we raise plenty of money
for the animals it will be worth have a sunburnt bonce for summer.''</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Our branch is famous for coming up with wacky ideas to raise money for our animals. Whether it's abseiling down a lighthouse, zip sliding across the Bridgewater Canal or shaving our heads - we'll do most things to help more rescued animals! Sadly, the demands on us continue with increasing numbers of unwanted, neglected and abused animals in the local area needing our help.

Not your usual road race, oh no! We'll be doing a 5K but taking on 10 of the greatest inflatable obstacles on the planet! This includes the world's largest inflatable obstacle and the finale is Europe’s biggest ever inflatable slide! Most of us are afraid of heights so it definitely should be interesting.... Our target is £750 can you help us?</span></span></span></div>

<b>Why I volunteer:</b> I
genuinely can think of so many amazing animals that the branch has helped I
really wouldn’t know where to start. As they prioritise the animals most in
need (those rescued by National RSPCA inspectors) the majority of the stories
are pretty horrendous. However, whether it’s a rat or cat, rabbit or guinea pig
the branch will do their best to bring them back to health, get them trusting
people again and find them a well-suited, loving home.<br />
</span><b>Thoughts on Gung-Ho!: </b><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;"> I don’t do any proper exercise so the whole
experience is going to be very interesting but I’ve abseiled down a lighthouse,
the Trafford Centre and across the Bridgewater Canal in Salford Quays for the
branch so how hard can it be…….!?</span></span></span></span></span></div>

heart belongs to hundreds of small furries. But I guess it would have to be
Cheryl, my old black foster cat who hung around the cattery and then my house
for a total of 6 months. She had IBD, bald patches and struggled to gain weight
but in the end we got her fit and well and she found the best home imaginable
with one of our long term volunteers. Happy ending!<br />

that we helped with. We agreed to take on about 35-40 of the animals (the rest
going to other branches) and my gosh, it was a real eye opener! It was hard
work transporting them all (I think the rescue was Hull way), health checking
and getting them settled in. Many had terrible conditions particularly bad. The
staff and volunteers spent so much time getting them ready for adoption and it
was so rewarding to see them eventually find loving new homes.</span></span></span></span></div>

moment: </span></b><span style="color: black;">The one that sticks in my mind the
most is of course Toby; a stray found with a sore paw in late 2014. I hadn't
been cat cuddling very long and found a lump behind his ear at the cattery. I
was shocked and saddened when it was found to be an airgun pellet under his
skin which had to be removed by the vet. Despite what had happened to him Toby
was a quietly trusting, lovely-natured boy who found a good home through the
branch.</span></span></span></span></div>

<b>Favourite Animal:</b> Teddy the Lhasa Apso stands
out in my mind. I collected him in October 2014 from an inspector who had
rescued Teddy from a home where his owners hadn't cared for him properly and
let his coat get severely matted. We didn't know, until he literally tumbled
out of the van, that his eyesight had also become impaired. It was touch and go
with Teddy for a while as he was in such a sorry state, but after a spell in
foster care he was adopted. Last year he came to support us at the Big Walkies
and it was lovely to see him so happy and well. I cried. A lot.<br />
<b>Thoughts on Gung-Ho!:</b> I am concerned my big fat arse will be

animal</span></b><span style="color: black;">: In the early
days of our fostering we had a beautiful fluffy black cat called Cherry in our
care. Despite having had a tough start in life living on the streets before she
was rescued by the RSPCA, she was an incredibly affection cat. She’d always be
sweetly mewing and nuzzling me or standing on her hind legs and waving her paws
around for my attention. She was such a good fit with our family that I
couldn’t imagine a life without her. We adopted her and renamed her Ponyo and
we’ve been best buds ever since.</span></span></span></span></div>

<![endif]--><span style="color: black;">You may recognise these gorgeous babies, they were the stars of our
Easter Appeal! </span>They will be 8 weeks old
w/c 4th April and are looking for homes where they will live as house rabbits
in the heart of your home.<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459620694211_12701" />
<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459620694211_12702" />
All the babies are incredibly confident and cheeky and will make ideal family
pets. Nothing phases them and they do not think twice about bouncing all over
you and reaching up to give you nose to nose nudges.<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459620694211_12703" />
<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459620694211_12704" />
They have been fed a hay based diet and introduced to a small variety of leafy
green veg. They have fantastic appeptites and do mainly all their toilet in
litter trays. They love jumping on and off boxes, binkying and exploring.<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459620694211_12705" />
<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459620694211_12706" />
We cannot stress just how special these babies are. They are incredibly
friendly, have very gentle natures and enjoy a stroke. They are easy to handle
and are used to receiving lots of kisses! They really are perfect for a family
and will really enjoy your company.<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459620694211_12707" />
<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459620694211_12708" />
Rex rabbits are known for being super intelligent and you will enjoy a
relationship with them much the same as a cat or dog. You may even be able to
clicker train them, such is their propensity for engagement with people and
activities. They have already been taught to go back into their pen with the
rattle of a treat box! Above all you will not be short on entertainment with
one of these furry folk in your home and you will have a true best friend in no
time.<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459620694211_12709" />
<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459620694211_12710" />
Currently available for rehoming are:<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459620694211_12711" />
4 black males, 1 agouti male and 1 agouti female.<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459620694211_12712" />
<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459620694211_12713" />
The babies have been vaccinated, will be microchipped before they are adopted
and will be neutered by the branch when old enough. Due to the age of the boys
and their pending puberty they need to be rehomed on their own as house rabbits. </span></span></span></i></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Martha
and her siblings were rescued by the National RSPCA field officers from a home where
dozens of rabbits were being kept in small, dirty hutches, never fed hay
and being allowed to breed out of control.
Their mother was on her fourth litter, her previous litter, as with
this one, had 11 babies! </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Tragically
one baby was dead at the scene and a second died a few days later. To
add to this terrible tragedy their mum was suffering with many health
problems; we did the kindest thing we could
do and put her out of her pain and distress. However, the nine tiny
baby bunnies were sadly left motherless. It was heart-breaking to see,
but thanks to an RSPCA foster carer and the tenacious Martha they are
all thriving and getting up to baby bunny mischief. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The <a href="http://www.manchesterandsalfordrspca.org.uk/" target="_blank">RSPCA Manchester & Salford Branch</a> is one of only three RSPCA branches in
the North West region that takes in rabbits. In 2015 we took in 123 and
rehomed the greatest amount out of all these
branches, a total of 84. So far this year (up to end of February) we have
admitted 35 and rehomed 20. The number of cases of rabbits in need is
ever growing and the space to take them in diminishing, as the cost of
rehoming rabbits is so high.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We ask
for an adoption fee of just £30 because the sheer numbers in shelters
waiting for new homes is so high. £30 in no way covers the £310-£345
care costs per rabbit so we try to raise money through
fundraising events and our four charity shops. Alas this is never
enough so this Easter appeal is to ask for help with the rehoming costs
of these orphaned babies. £1,000 will help to cover the food bills for
the next 6 weeks whilst they are in foster care,
until they can go up for adoption, and then the cost of ‘kitting them
out’ for rehoming with vaccinations, microchipping and neutering costs
in the future.</span></span></div>
