the pdsa in lpool are great they hand you an envelope for your donation so only you know what you give so it could be as little as £5

taken from the email we sent this morning

This morning just after 9am a female officer phoned us after the last person telling us nobody was coming out, she was friendly on the phone and when she first arrived then she seen that our cat wasn't as bad as she thought and then she received a phone call while she was here from the RSPCA department telling her that i had made a complaint to the chief executive and that's it things changed and she got nasty and really funny with myself and my wife.

She also said to myself and my wife i don't know if i should take her now seeing as you have complained about us which we was very shocked at these comments.

She then spoke down to us and said you shouldn't have complained to you, then i told her that there is many complaints made about the RSPCA on the internet and she told me that we was slagging your company off when we was just stating a fact to her.

She did say our home was lovely and there was no need for the cat to really have to go but she would take her to help us.
The officer kept on saying about how you are a charity but that is what charities are there for to help animals in need and that's the only reason we contacted you to make sure our cat got given to someone who could look after her because we couldn't due to money problems and change of circumstances, and that's all we care about is our cat nothing else.

She was even forcing us to donate to your charity even though we had told her and all your advisors how we didn't have money to even pay bills.
The male last night at 00:20am and this female really need some talking to and telling how to do there job correctly and have some people skills because these two RSPCA members don't have this at all.

She even went over to our rabbits cage to make sure he was ok which she had no right to do when it is about a cat here not anything else.
It is the cat that we was concerned about nothing else.

so annoyed i would love to find out were she lived grrrrrr.

I have a fast tag to go through the tunnel. I overpay that by £5 a month and gradually I have saved up a rather nice little pot. This is the money I use to see to my cats if they ever need to go to the vet. It has come in as essential a few times over the last couple of years. It beats messing around with insurance companies and filling in forms for claims etc. I personally wouldn't take on an animal without the means of caring for it, although I would never give up a pet if my circumstances changed unless it meant that the animal would have a worse quality of life. I sympathise greatly with anyone who has lost a source of income and is struggling with looking after a pet.

thanks for your comments.
we have both felt really bad today like we have done something wrong but its all for the best for the cat. But at least we know she is guaranteed to get the treatment she needs.

Just for future reference, Upton vets (out of the way i know) will treat animals and then take instalments for any payments. If you are on any benefits you are able to take your vet bill to RSPCA on Livingstone street in Birkenhead, and apply to have help towards your overall bill.

Rspca on LivingStone Street are open only for a few hours a couple of days a week, and I think a consultation costs about £10.


My cat was run over and broke her shoulder, as she was pregnant I chose to scrimp and save and pay for her to be operated on. In total the bill came to £681 after the Rspca paid their bit I was left with £225, not ideal but better than the full amount.

My cat recovered well and gave birth about 4 weeks later to ONE kitten, about 8 months later she escaped from my house when one of the kids opened the back door and she was never seen again ... Thats gratitude for ya.

I may be wrong but I thought the place on Livingstone st had closed down? About 2 years ago I found a kitten in my back yard,rang the rspca and they wernt interested unless I kept him and they would give me vouchers towards neutering..after putting cards up in shops i found anther home for him after no response!!! hope you get your cat sorted.

This is what's wrong with this site ..this photo caption should be removed ...not funny ..just offensive..every sympathy with the animal non for the arse who loves the "f" word

Not very good at posting my comments... they were meant to be addressed at the caption with the photo of the RSPCA officer...(see my previous post).
This site is brilliant ..please don't spoil it by the Sh**e language, not everybody is used to it... c'mon everybody lets make this forum a bit more classy!!!

you will see worse language than that on here. and you also say about the bad language then swear yourself.
pmsl what a joke.

You want the RSPCA's help but [censored] them off to death, make your mind up?

It's funny how you blame your own problem on someone else like the RSPCA, if you had pet insurance all this would of been sorted.

Change of circumstances or what ever you bought the pet knowing things change, the pet is your responsibility. Take responsibility of your own actions and stop blaming them on other people!

C'mon monk you know I censored my remarks

get a grip member, your the only person out of everyone here who hasn't had anything sensible to say. think before you type and dont make yourself look a fool.

If you have a sick pet, why did you ring the RSPCA :s they aren't vets. And let's be honest it's your bill why should they pay it?

This is the reason I don't come on here very often anymore. it's rude and uncalled for.
