The Cheshire (Altrincham) Branch of the RSPCA was founded in 1963 and is based in the Altrincham / Sale area, although we cover a large area of Cheshire which runs from Sale and Carrington in the north, down through Knutsford and Northwich and as far south as Holmes Chapel and Sandiway. We work closely with RSPCA Inspectors to provide direct animal welfare services in these areas. This includes veterinary care and safe homes for unwanted animals and those that the RSPCA Inspectors have rescued from harm. As a Local RSPCA Branch, we are an independently registered charity and rely heavily on Volunteers, local fundraising activities and public support to continue this work.
