About
us - the area we
cover
&
what we do
Our
branch, one of 175 such local RSPCA organisations,
covers a notable
part of Cheshire
extending into Derbyshire
to encompass Buxton.
Created
in 1989 in our present form,
we lie within the national society's
Northern Region,
and serve the animals within our
boundaries.
We
operate as an all volunteer, autonomous,
self-funding foundation, based
on the rules, regulations
and guidelines of the national society.
Geographically, the branch covers a very
large area
which is bounded
roughly by a line running from
Styal near Manchester Airport, east to
Poynton
then across to slightly and east of Buxton,
south-west to
Scholar Green,
then to Alsager and Sandbach
before running north back
to Styal.
Alderley Edge, Buxton, Congleton,
Macclesfield,
Prestbury and
Wilmslow
are larger communities within our
boundaries.

We support the work of the RSPCA
Inspectorate operating in the Cheshire
Group Area
through liaison with inspectors, animal
collection officers
and the staff at the society's regional
headquarters in Leeds.
This
involves taking in and caring for animals rescued
by inspectors or
which are removed by voluntary arrangement with owners who are unable
to guarantee an acceptable
level of care or quality of life.
Additionally, we fund the
temporary placement
of these and other
animals in kennels, catteries
and other appropriate facilities
whilst
their rehoming or fostering is sought from
within the community.
We
fund and oversee veterinary treatment for animals
in our care, run
animal neutering programmes
and provide 'home visitors' to check on
compatibilty
of animal and potential adopter in our
branch area
for our
animals and those from any other RSPCA branch.
