From a cat stuck on a viaduct to a badger will fell down a disused lime kiln in Northumberland, these animals are still with us thanks to the remarkable efforts of RSPCA rescue teams.
The nine lucky things – including cats and dogs and even a peacock – had run into trouble across the North over the past twelve months. Fortunately, in each case a caring member of the public was able to alert the team at the well-known animal charity, and they were able to spring in to action.
RSPCA Chief Inspectorate Officer Steve Bennett said: “For 200 years the RSPCA’s dedicated and passionate team of rescuers have been helping animals in need. We’re here for every kind; but with almost 1 million calls for help every year, we can’t do this alone.
“We’re incredibly grateful to all of the animal-loving members of the public who have helped rescue animals themselves, taken them to vets for specialist care, as well as the other agencies who help save the lives of animals in need, from the fire service to the police to small local rescues!”
The officer added that the charity was always happy to help where possible, and was grateful for other agencies for helping out too. He added: “But there are also lots of ways the public can help animals themselves too; after all, the quicker an animal gets help, the better. If we all work together, we can create a kinder and better world for all animals.”
