Local
animals need your help

Many people believe that elderly dogs cannot be re-homed, but we firmly believe that there is always a good home to be found for the animals in our care. This is certainly true here on the island where many elderly people are looking for a loving companion to adopt. Choco, a 14yr old Jack Russell, initially came in to us for emergency care whilst his owner had to go into hospital, but sadly his owner passed away, and we were asked to re-home him. After some much needed dental work, and the removal of a wart on his eye, Choco quickly found himself a new home. |
The
Isle of Wight
branch of the RSPCA provides assistance 365 days a
year to unwanted, abandoned and sick animals. The dedicated
staff and volunteers are involved with a wide range of work including the
running of the animal centre in addition to supporting the local
inspector, providing subsidised neutering and micro chipping, and giving
help towards veterinary costs for
those who find themselves unable to afford this service for their animals.
It costs over £1400 per day to run the Animal Centre! and we rely on the generosity of the local community to help us keep the Centre running, and to provide vital services to the island's animals.
There are several ways in which you can support us:
 | ONE OFF DONATIONS: These can be sent direct to us at the Animal Centre but if you are a U.K. tax payer please print off a Gift Aid Form to enable us to reclaim additional funds from H.M.R.C. at no cost to yourself. |
| ONGOING DONATIONS: If you would like to make a regular contribution then this can easily be done by setting up a standing order with your bank. Just print off a Standing Order Form and send it to us and we will do the rest. Don't forget to gift aid it! just fill in the gift aid section of the form and return to the address shown. |
| LEGACIES: A Legacy or Bequest will provide crucial funds and we not continue our work without such generous support. If you wish to make such a bequest then you can do this by making a will or adding a codicil to your existing will. We would respectfully suggest that the following form of words should be used: |
I give the sum of £....... (or specify a share of residue) to the RSPCA Isle of Wight Branch (registered charity number 205311), Bohemia Corner, Godshill, Isle of Wight, PO38 3NA, for its general purposes and I declare that the receipt of a proper officer of the said RSPCA branch shall be a full and sufficient discharge for the said legacy.
Please note that this needs to be properly witnessed and that you should take legal advice. Gifts of this nature are generally exempt from inheritance and capital gains taxes and would therefore greatly benefit local animals with a minimum of burden to your estate.
