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 over 2,000 people and pets annually by providing heavily subsidised veterinary treatment.
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
Charlie
At just 1 years old, this handsome boy has already been on a long journey. Over the past 6 months he has been working through an intense rehabilitation programme, learning how to feel safe and confident in the world around him.
Kennel life proved too stressful for him, but for the last 2 months he has been thriving in a foster home, where he’s finally be able to relax and his true personality start to shine. With people he trusts he is incredibly affectionate, playful and full of love. Like any Labrador, food is the way to his heart and he enjoys his positively reinforced training and he will often greet you with a big waggy body and his favourite dinosaur to mouth.
He is now looking for a “foster in view to adopt” home that can continue supporting him on this journey. He will need patient and knowledgeable owners committed to his ongoing training, especially when outside the comfort of his home. His new family will also need to have at least one person at home at all times, so he can gradually learn that being alone for short periods is ok.
Charlie may be able to live with another suitably matched dog, as long as they are neutered, fully vaccinated, calm and confident and is right for both dogs. He is such a sweet dog and deserves to find someone who can walk the rest of his journey with him.

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!
