Ever thought about being a volunteer?
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
Mini Moo & Ben
Mini Moo and Ben came into our care from different circumstances. Since being at the centre, this duo have found themselves best of friends!
Mini Moo and Ben are a newly bonded pair ready to find their new forever home together. Mini Moo is a kind and gentle ferret who can be a bit lazy at times but does love to play ! Ben on the other hand is still quite young so is still learning all about good ferret manners when it comes to him and people. Ben is looking for a calm and patient owner who will continue his positive socialising so he can grow up to be a friendly ferret.
This fun and energetic duo love to play with their enrichment and exploring their surroundings together. Their favourite past times consist of dook dooking around in their favourite tunnels or snoozing the day away tucked in a warm blanket.
Do you have a loving home for this wonderful pair?
Christmas video
Our welfare clinics in Ipswich, Stowmarket and Bury St Edmunds offer access to subsidised vet care and medication for low-income families, helping them keep their pets in their loving homes. We help nearly 3,000 animals a year with this service ❤
Our Christmas video highlights this aspect of our work - but beware, it's a bit of a tear-jerker!
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
Happy Haggis
Haggis came into our care after being removed from an overcrowded home, with cat flu and an old leg injury that needed attention. After having his poorly leg amputated he was adopted in no time!
His new family gave us this update "Haggis is doing so well! He had his first vet visit yesterday and they were very happy with him and thought he was adorable and so well behaved. He's loving all the window sills to snooze on... as expected he's still just as playful and especially likes the wand toy and anything that jingles. We're so happy we found Haggis, thank you so much."
Success Story
Plum & George
Plum & George were adopted in March 2025 after being with us for nearly two years. Their new family were really grateful for the help and support given by the small animal team while going through the application process and were impressed by how passionate we are about finding the most suitable homes for our animals.
Their new family say "Plum and George have been a great additional to our family and brought us so much joy already. George is a laid back chap who enjoys his food and bed, but don't let that fool you - he also loves an escape attempt! Plum, who we have appropriately nicknamed "Chaos" has energy to burn! She's the tiniest girl, with the biggest personality and loves to jump around and play with her toys, but when she sleeps a herd of elephants couldn't wake this sleeping beauty! We're so grateful for everything the RSPCA did for our babies, we genuinely couldn't imagine our lives without them."
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!
