Be thoughtful. Don't choose to own pets unless you can offer them a long term good home and you have thought about the time, money, responsibility and nuisance value involved. Think about holidays, insurance, veterinary fees and the cost of neutering.
Adopt your pet from us. We have young and adult animals needing homes. See Pet Adoption section.

Make money and donate to us at the same time

When you're selling, the real beauty of eBay for Charity is that there's something for everyone - yourself included. You decide exactly what percentage of your final selling price you'd like to give to charity (that's good causes sorted), and what percentage you'd like for yourself (that's you sorted). You also get to choose which charity you'd like to support.

Ebay allow you to earn extra credits

Every time you list an item for charity, you'll get a fee credit on your basic insertion and final value fees equal to the percentage you donate. So if you donate 50% of your selling price to a charity, eBay will waive 50% of your fees.

It's seen by everyone

eBay for Charity listings are the same as any other eBay listing, except for the blue and yellow eBay for Charity ribbon in search results and your chosen charity's mission statement and logo in your listing. This means your listing can be seen by everyone who searches through eBay.co.uk. It'll also get extra visibility through the eBay for Charity pages. It's the perfect way to make a difference – while doing what you do every day on eBay, whether you're a fishing enthusiast selling angling gear or a big business trading electronics.

We have come up with a simple way for you to help boost the much needed funds of our charity and benefit your environment. We are running an unwanted Jewellery Recycling Collection.

Please donate any unwanted jewellery towards this recycling appeal; gold, silver, costume jewellery, watches… Then all your unwanted items can be turned into a donation for us.

You can do a full "spring clean" of your jewellery box or just give items you no longer wear. Even damaged, broken and incomplete items will help; so all the odd earrings and snapped chains are a great start!

To send your jewellery to us you can parcel up your jewellery and post free of charge to:

RECYCLING

If you can, please ask your family, friends and colleagues to participate in this Jewellery Recycling Collection.

Why should I recycle? Recycling reduces the demand for raw materials. This means less mining or quarrying. Many parts of the world have been blighted by mining and quarrying, which destroy the natural environment and wildlife habitats and can cause environmental and health problems for local people. Recycling is one way in which our community can lessen their usage of resources and help protect the environment. Everything you give us is turned into cash for us, recycled and put to good use!

A legacy or bequest to your local RSPCA can provide crucial funds - we could not carry out our work without such generous support. But please remember - all RSPCA branches are separately registered charities, so if you want your gift to help animals near you, you must ask your solicitor to make it clear in your will. Ask him or her to quote the branch name and registered charity number :
RSPCA Burton-on-Trent & District Branch
Hillfield Lane, Stretton, Burton-on-Trent DE13 0BN
Registered charity number 232234.
If you or your solicitor need more information, please contact the branch manager on 01283 569165 who will be only to willing to answer your questions.
By leaving a gift, you can leave it to us to carry on caring for animals in need.

If you are interested in sponsoring one of our dog kennels, cat chalets or rabbit pods, the cost for 12 months is £100 for cat chalets and dog kennels and £50 for rabbit pods. This helps to feed the residents of that kennel, chalet or pod for a year.
Each sponsored unit displays a plaque engraved with the words of your choice. Perhaps it could be a present for you, your friends, your pet or in memory of a pet.
