Their mission statement is to prevent cruelty and promote kindness to animals as well as reducing animal suffering and increasing animal wellbeing as much as possible.
Their welfare principles are based on the RSPCA’s ‘5 Freedoms’:
- Freedom from hunger and thirst
- Freedom from discomfort
- Freedom from pain, injury and disease
- Freedom to express normal behaviour
- Freedom from fear and distress
Subject to space, the charity aims never to turn away an animal in need of their help. They always go the extra mile to meet the particular welfare needs of each animal in their care. As well as enrichment, diet, play and expert veterinary care, all animals are respected and treated with empathy and compassion.
