Our Community Animal Welfare Scheme (CAWS) began in Bathurst in 2004. In just over 20 years, more than 3500 cats and dogs have been desexed, vaccinated, and microchipped in the Bathurst local government area alone, assisting innumerable local pet owners and greatly improving animal welfare.
CAWS targets specific local government areas, with veterinary services provided by local veterinarians. By providing access to low-cost desexing, we strive to strengthen our communities and the human and animal bond.
Our volunteer-run branches and supporter groups play a vital role in ensuring that CAWS has the impact that it does. With the help of our incredible volunteers working in communities across NSW, our Community Outreach Officers strive to address the hurdles facing people and animals in need. Every volunteer plays a crucial role in our success. If you have passion for animal welfare and enjoy meeting like-minded people, please consider lending a helping hand by becoming a volunteer. Whether you’re interested in organising fundraising events or helping to facilitate our community assistance programs, there’s a meaningful role waiting for you at one of our branches and groups.
RSPCA NSW rehomes a range of different animals, from dogs, cats, and birds to horses, rabbits, and sheep! We believe that all creatures, great and small, can bring joy to our families and homes. Begin your adoption journey today and make an adorable lifelong friend!
By providing temporary homes for our animals, we can ensure they get the care they need until they are ready to be adopted. Join our network of foster carers for an incredibly rewarding experience; with your help, we can change the lives of some of the state’s most vulnerable animals.
We rely on our generous supporters to continue assisting the thousands of animals turning to RSPCA NSW for help. No matter how small your contribution, every gift makes a lifesaving difference for animals in need.
By raising funds and lending a hand to communities and their pets, our volunteers play a pivotal role in our work throughout NSW. If you have a genuine concern for animals and enjoy meeting like-minded people, consider becoming an RSPCA NSW volunteer today!
