About this event.

Cheltenham Animal Shelter has been rescuing and rehoming pets for almost 100 years thanks to the support of the local community.

Although vulnerable animals are at the heart of everything we do, we are more than 'just' an animal shelter and have a wide range of education programs, community outreach and fundraising events for everyone to enjoy and to help spread our passion for responsible pet ownership throughout Gloucestershire.

Our Shelter tours are designed to share what we do and, of course, let you see some of our special pets too!

Tours will last 30-45minutes. Tickets are free of charge but you can make a donation if you wish.

Animal neglect and abandonment are at a three-year high. Thousands of animals' lives are hanging in the balance this Christmas. We must come together for the animals who need us. Will you help us this Christmas?

RSPCA Cheltenham & East Gloucestershire Branch

The Branch provides food, shelter and medical care for rescued animals until they can be found suitable new homes. We rehome dogs, cats, birds, rabbits and other small animals from our rehoming centre on the edge of Cheltenham in Gloucestershire. Thanks to a network of local volunteers and homecheckers, we can rehome our animals to any area of the UK.

We receive no government funding for our work and although we fall under the umbrella of the national RSPCA headquarters, we do not receive large amounts of funding. Instead we rely on donations and fundraising activities to keep going and your support is very important to us. In an average year our costs are around £76,000!

Apart from employing a part time Branch Administrator, the Cheltenham and East Gloucestershire Branch of the RSPCA is run entirely by volunteers. As well as dog rescue, cat rescue and animal adoption our activities also include the promotion of animal welfare and responsible pet ownership in the local area, including neutering and microchipping. In some circumstances the Branch is able to provide minimal financial assistance towards veterinary costs to pet owners on low incomes (subject to meeting the necessary criteria).

Rehome a pet - can you offer a home to an animal in our care?

WEATHER ALERT

5 warnings in effect for 11 counties in the area

Local animal shelters in need of help following devastating derecho.

Corley Peel , Reporter

HOUSTON – Walking over wires and air ducts, Behavior Training Manager, Melissa Taylor, gave KPRC 2 a post storm tour of the Friends For Life Animal Shelter.

“The portable air conditioner feeds cool air into each kennel and just imagine how scary it is for the dogs,” said Taylor.

According to Taylor, the temperature inside the shelter varies from 70 to 90 degrees, depending on the time of day. The shelter is at capacity. With two generators, it is still not enough to comfort the animals.

“It’s pretty terrible. Some of them don’t feel like eating,” said Taylor.

The yard where the dogs play is covered with debris and fallen trees. Tarp is covering part of the damaged fence.

Taylor said the shelter has had an issue with people trying to return fosters or dropping off their pets after experiencing damage to their homes.

“Many of those folks had animals and now they don’t have a place for the animals and now they’re bringing them to the shelter. So we are overloaded. We are desperately asking for help. From fosters for people to take in animals. Just for a week, two weeks,” said Taylor.

Volunteers and supplies are also sparse.

“We’re solicitating for donations, monetary otherwise just to keep things going here. As of now, we don’t know when this is going to let up,” said Taylor.

To volunteer, foster, adopt or donate to Friends For Life visit friends4life.org or email [email protected] or call (713) 863-9835

Other animal shelters in the area are also struggling after the storm.

According to a statement from a spokesperson for BARC:

“They had to stop adoptions and intake for two days (Friday and Saturday). They canceled surgeries, too. They had no power in three buildings, and one building is still having A/C issues. The animals were/are okay, but they did not allow non-essential staff to work because of safety issues. They are very close to maximum capacity. They will be open tomorrow for adoptions to help clear kennel space. They need to keep things moving because if they don’t the situation could cascade pretty fast.”

To contact BARC call (832) 395-9084 .

Address: 3300 Carr St, Houston, TX 77026

The Rescued Pets Movement posted images on social media of the damage sustained on their roof after the storm, along with a message asking for help as they try to reopen their doors and continue finding Houston-area pets forever homes.

“Without a stable roof, it’s challenging to provide the safe and comfortable environment our rescued pets deserve,” the post from RPM reads.
