We can't do what we do without our Vet Staff and you!

We have some seriously talented people working at the RSPCA, few more so than our wonderful vet staff. From the moment animals are brought in, sick or injured, to the day they finally leave, either to a loving home or back into the wild, our vets and vet nurses treat them every step of the way. 

They can only do this because of your support 鈥 so thank you for joining the rescue.

From Volunteer to Vet Nurse

How Emma started

Emma began her 快活影院career at our Bury Oldham and District branch. 鈥淚 was volunteering two days a week after losing my other job,鈥 says Emma. She liked helping animals, staying for six years, before moving to Manchester to start her vet nurse training.

How Emma鈥檚 transformed

Now qualified, she helps take care of animals. Her favourite part of work is the amazing transformations they go through. 鈥淭he one I remember most was a Shar Pei called Sunflower 鈥 we called her that because she loved facing the sun. At first, she was defensive. But after a while, she started letting people in and eventually found a loving home.鈥

What Megan does for animals

As a vet surgeon, Megan鈥檚 days are always different. 鈥淭he standard work is preventative healthcare,鈥 explains Megan. 鈥淭hings like neutering, worming and giving vaccinations. But we do more difficult operations too, like, C-sections and amputations.鈥

Why she keeps going

鈥淎 cat came in two days before Christmas with his head in a rat trap. He was cold and dirty and had been stuck all night. But thankfully, when we took the trap off he was okay. We found his microchip and reunited him with his family.鈥 

For Megan and Emma, moments like these and your support keep them going. Thank you for joining the rescue.
