RSPCA Cornwall Branch · Registered Charity 1024808 · An independent, self-funded Cornish charity
Every year we welcome hundreds of rescue animals into our care at The Venton Centre, many with complex needs or traumatic backgrounds. Your sponsorship gives them the individual attention, time and comfort they need to heal and find the loving homes they deserve.
What you'll get as a sponsor
Sponsorship is more than a donation. From the moment you sign up, you'll follow the journey of the animal you've chosen, delivered straight to your inbox.
Regular photo & video updates
We'll send you fresh photos and short videos, usually every week, of the animal you're sponsoring, so you can watch them settle, heal and get ready for their new home.
A personal certificate
Your welcome email includes a digital sponsorship certificate with your animal's name, ready to keep or print, or to hand over if you're sponsoring as a gift.
News from the centre
Alongside your animal's updates, we'll share news about our work and the other animals in our care at The Venton Centre across the year.
Everything arrives by email, so your welcome pack lands the moment you sign up, with nothing to wait for and nothing to post. Every update is about the specific animal you chose to support.

Your questions answered
What happens when my sponsored animal finds a home?
Wonderful news, and it happens often. When your chosen animal is adopted, your support seamlessly transfers to another animal in our care who needs it just as much. The help never stops, and we will let you know who you are helping next.
How much does sponsorship cost?
Sponsorship starts from just £3 a month, and you can give more if you would like to. Every pound goes directly toward animal care at our Cornwall centre, and we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 through Gift Aid if you are a UK taxpayer.
Can I pause, change or cancel my sponsorship?
Of course. Your sponsorship is fully flexible. You can change the amount, pause or cancel at any time by contacting us, and there is absolutely no awkwardness about it. We are grateful for any support you are able to give, for as long as you are able to give it.
Can I sponsor an animal as a gift?
Yes, and it makes a meaningful and thoughtful present for a birthday, Christmas, anniversary or in memory of a loved one. When you choose an animal in our gallery, simply tick the Sponsor as a gift box in their sponsorship form. It is a gift that keeps giving, long after the wrapping paper is gone.
Just want to help?
You don't have to choose. We'll set you up to sponsor the animal who has been waiting longest of all for someone to care.
