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
Athos, Cookie & Peanut
Athos, Peanut and Cookie, Guinea Pigs, Male (neutered) and females, various colours
Athos and his two girlfriends Peanut and Cookie have recently been bonded here on site. Athos originally came in with his brothers and Peanut and Cookie with their sisters but had to be separated due to fighting. It makes us incredibly happy to see that they are now starting to become braver, while living in a healthier social structure.
As all three guinea pigs were the ones that were picked on in their previous groups, they are extremely shy and careful and will need a very patient owner that respects their boundaries. They will need a lot of socialisation through hand feeding which they are not comfortable with yet. We do see improvement with us and can be around them while they nibble on their favourite veggies, without them hiding away.
If you have a spacious, safe and enriched accommodation and would like to give these three beautiful Guinea Pigs your love and a forever home – Please reach out to us.
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
Little Meg’s confident start
Meg the cat was brought in to us via an Inspector after her previous owners forced her to live in a Rabbit hutch, but we're pleased to say she was adopted recently and has already made big impact.
Her new family said "We just wanted to let you know that little Meg has had THE best settling in initial hours with us. What a confident little lass she is... just too cute. We just cannot believe how Meg stepped out of her carrier and came to both of us straight away purring her head off... it was just delightful to see. Thank you so, so much again for all your help. You all do an amazing job and we consider ourselves so so lucky to have crossed paths with our previous rescue Jelly, and now Meg."
We are all so pleased you found your forever home Meg!
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!
