Anglican Society for the Welfare of Animals
The Anglican Society for the Welfare of Animals was formed in 1970 by a group of clergy and lay Christians who felt very strongly that the Church did not speak out on the subject of animal cruelty and suffering. Our mission is therefore to ‘put animals on the agenda of the Christian church’.
Animal Care Trust, Royal Veterinary College
Our pets bring us so much joy. You can do something very special for them in return by leaving a gift in your will to the Royal Veterinary College Animal Care Trust. The RVC’s animal hospitals provide specialist veterinary care to the sickest pets, pioneer new treatments and train the next generation of vets.
Animal Welfare Foundation
The Animal Welfare Foundation (AWF) is a science and knowledge-based charity which has been putting animal welfare at the heart of veterinary science and education for the past 40 years. Our aim is to deepen understanding of animal welfare and inspire evidence-based actions so that all animals can enjoy a better life. Through funding ground-breaking research and leading impactful debates and conversations at all levels, AWF identifies and tackles animal welfare issues, always pushing for higher standards in the UK.
Battersea Dogs and Cats Home
Battersea is here for every dog and cat, and has been since 1860. Over more than 160 years, we’ve gone from one home in London to three rescue and rehoming centres across the country and have cared for over three million vulnerable animals. We take in every animal who needs us, regardless of their age, breed or medical condition and without any judgement.
Beneath the Wood Sanctuary
Beneath the Wood is an award-winning farm and domestic animal sanctuary in Wales, caring for around 135 animals, mostly large commercial breed pigs but also sheep, dogs, cats and horses. We provide a safe haven for the most vulnerable of animals, giving them permanent sanctuary for life. We also campaign for a cruelty-free world and are a no-kill sanctuary.
Cat Action Trust
Cat Action Trust was established in 1975, as the UK pioneer in promoting the welfare of feral cats. We were from the outset committed to caring not culling and were among the first to use the humane trap, neuter, return (TNR) method of managing feral cat colonies. Over the years we have broadened our voluntary work to include assisting lost, homeless or abandoned domestic cats.
Cat Action Trust 1977
The policy of Cat Action Trust 1977 is to help feral cats by limiting their numbers through neutering and returning to site, by providing veterinary care where necessary, and by finding homes for kittens and tame stray cats. The charity is totally against killing for expediency. CAT 1977 also helps to educate the public and other animal welfare organisations about the humane control and care of the feral cat population through its website, newsletters and leaflets.
Celia Hammond Animal Trust
Thousands of healthy cats and dogs, kittens and puppies will die today and every day. Why? They were born into a world where there are not enough homes to go round. Countless strays are struggling for survival on the streets - cold, hungry, frightened - condemned to a life of suffering and often victims of cruelty. There is a humane alternative to this sickening daily slaughter and misery.
Cinnamon Trust, The
We know the importance of the treasured relationship between people and pets and we recognise that this relationship is, more often than not seriously threatened by infirmity and frailty. We exist to ensure that any problem encountered in the day to day care of a pet can be overcome and all the benefits of owning a pet can be preserved. Our aims are achieved by tasking a national network of 20,000 volunteers to provide any assistance required including walking dogs and pet fosterings.
Compassion in World Farming International
The challenges of building a humane and sustainable world have never been greater. Against a backdrop of a population explosion and soaring food prices, intensive livestock farming poses a very real threat to our planet. Greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, biodiversity loss and water scarcity are all disastrous consequences of factory farming.
