Do the RSPCA work in Scotland at all?

Hi
I can see from a quick Google you have your own version,The SPCA but do you still have the RSPCA as well?

Just curious after reading something about funding.

Thanks

It's the SSPCA. Dont know if RSPCA is present here

When I search on RSPCA for my nearest location it gives the closest one as in Carlisle which is 73 miles away from me in Scotland

No I don't think so, the SSPCA I believe is the same company (may be wrong) but the Scottish version

Looks like they are very separate

The RSPCA helps animals in England and Wales. The RSPCA helps animals in England and Wales

From the RSPCA website

Ok great

I should have just looked on their website obviously. Doh🤦‍♀️

No.

The funding via sponsorship has long been debated as annoyingly, we (Scots) still see the ad campaigns for the RSPCA sometimes so people sign up and donate not realising that they don't operate here

Sorry, replies are just showing now

Don't apologise for trying to be helpful ❤

The SSPCA have been complaing about this confusion for years. At Uni we had mousemats that said RSPCA stopped at the border and to support the SSPCA to help Scottish animals. This was twenty years ago. Not sure I'd of known otherwise.

The RSPCA only work in England and Wales, the SSPCA only work in Scotland and have more power than their English equivalent.

Agree the SPCA complain regularly - mostly about ads on telly which we see in Scotland.
