NEW CORPORATE PARTNERSHIP SCHEME
We are a truly local charity providing essential animal welfare services across Suffolk
The RSPCA Suffolk Central branch exists to help animals across Suffolk. Our Animal Centre in Martlesham can care for over 100 animals in need at any one time. Through our welfare clinics and financial assistance scheme we support nearly 3,000 people and pets annually by providing heavily subsidised veterinary treatment.
95% of everything we do is funded by support from our local community via our charity shops, fundraising efforts, donations and gifts in Wills.
Adoption & rehoming
Our Animal Centre based in Martlesham has up to 100 animals in our care at any time. Could you offer a forever home to an animal in need? Take a look at our current residents below.
Pet of the week
Bella
Gorgeous Bella came into our care as her previous owners could no longer care for her. Bella was very underweight when she came into our care, but with plenty of TLC and nutritious food, she is on her way to being a much happier and healthier dog. Bella is currently on a slow, gradual increase to more exercise, which will need to be continued in the home.
She loves to be the centre of attention and receive lots of fuss from familiar people. She loves to learn and picks up new things very quickly, which is aided by her love of treats and food. She is starting to learn how much fun it is to play with toys and will spend time bouncing around with her favourite toy.
Bella is doing well with her new training plan, but will need some positive, reward-based training to help build positive associations to new things in her new home. She will also need some ongoing training around other dogs, as she can find them a little overwhelming at times.
Bella can find new people and environments quite stressful at times so she will need some time, patience and training to build her confidence up in different situations. Once she is comfortable around a person and place, her favourite place will be tucked up next to you on the sofa.
Do you have a Bella shaped space in your home?
After finding love here at the centre, Biscoff and Frank are now ready to find their loving forever home with a spacious accommodation and a patient owner.
Biscoff and Frank do not enjoy being handled and therefore would require a home where this is not an expectation.
You made a difference in 2024
There are many ways YOU can help raise the vital funds that we need to deliver our vital services. RSPCA Suffolk Central receives no funding from the government, all the running costs of the branch comes from generous donations, fundraising and legacies from the public and local community. But together this is what we achieved last year..

Success Story
Hugo’s happy home
Hugo had been with us for 9 months with little interest before his new owners heard about his struggle to find the perfect new home and got in touch.
They absolutely adore their new family member and said "we fully understood what we might be taking on with his anxieties and toilet problems - however since we brought him home we have had no problems whatsoever. He has settled in better than we could have hoped and his favourite thing to do is cuddle on laps! He loves to sleep in our bed with us and wake us up for play time before work. We have absolutely fallen in love with him and cannot wait to show him how loved he is by giving him the life he always deserved."
Well done Hugo, we're all thrilled you found the right family!
Success Story
Dobby & Nala
Dobby was with us for a while before finding his perfect bunny wife, Nala, and although the bonding process took a few months we were happy to play a key role in two bunnies finally having the companionship they deserve.
Dobby's new owner was thrilled with how the team went above and beyond - not only in Dobby & Nala's care, but in providing daily updates and pictures. Both bunnies were excited to be home and settled in well - and they lived hop-pily ever after!
Success Story
Titan’s journey
Titan came into our care with a severe leg injury. Although his owner was found they made the hard decision to give him into our care due to the extensive and expensive treatment needed.
He was fostered by our Kennel Supervisor, Nat, during his recovery - where he needed physio for up to 4 hours a day.
Now named Eddie he has made vast improvements since being rehomed with his new family and can get out and enjoy his walks!
