Cornwall BranchPlease Help Our Animals By Donating Today!
Welcome to RSPCA Cornwall Branch
Welcome to our website, where you can learn more about the vital work we do in Cornwall to support animal welfare.
We are an independent, self-funded charity, registered separately from the National RSPCA, and receive very limited financial assistance from them. This means that all the funds we use to run the Venton Animal Centre and deliver our services are raised locally by our charity.
Every donation made in Cornwall stays in Cornwall, directly benefiting local animals in need and their owners. Your support plays a crucial role in allowing us to continue our work and make a real impact on the lives of animals across the region.
The Venton Rehoming Centre
Our Cattery and Kennels are not open to the public, so all visits for adoption are by appointment only.
Interested in Adopting?
To register your interest in adopting an animal, please visit our How to Adopt page. There, you’ll find more information and our online adoption forms, which must be completed as the first step in applying.
If you have trouble with the online form, we can send you a paper copy—just email us at info@rspcacornwall.org.uk, or you can pick up a form from our Centre Reception.

About Us – Helping Cornwall’s Animals Since 1996
We are a self-funded RSPCA branch based in St Columb, Cornwall, dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming animals in need. Since opening our doors in 1996, we’ve helped thousands of animals find safety and loving homes.
At the Venton Rehoming Centre, we care for dogs and cats from all backgrounds—from strays to animals rescued from cruelty cases. Every animal gets the love, care, and second chance they deserve.
Beyond our Rehoming Centre, our Animal Welfare Officers work across Cornwall, reaching the animals most in need. Through rescue, education, and support, we help both animals and their owners, making a lasting impact in our community.
💙 We are self-funding, so every donation and adoption helps us continue our vital work!
Through our Education team, we provide young people in Cornwall with vital skills to ensure the next generation acts with kindness and compassion towards animals.
The Branch has big plans over the coming years to strengthen our Rehoming Centre and ultimately be in a position able to help even more animals in need.
We help animals regardless of their age, medical or behavioural needs, to give them all a second chance. Being an separate independent charity means we rely on local donations to keep our doors open to animals in need. By supporting our Branch, you’ll be helping hundreds of animals in Cornwall every year.
