Midnight
If you’re looking for a furry fiend to join your haunted house this Halloween then the RSPCA has got the most spook-tacular pets who are ready to put their new family under their spell.

Will the full moon this scary season help the RSPCA’s lost souls find their eternal homes?

If you could offer a Halloween home to a pet in need, please head to the RSPCA’s Find A Pet online search function to find the right pet for you.

Midnight girl

Young bunny Midnight is a sweet but shy girl who struggles to trust people. She’s not been handled much so her carers are trying to get her used to being picked up confidently.

She’s an independent rabbit who knows her own mind and will do what she wants, when she wants to! But she’d love to find a home with a friendly male rabbit and with a family with older, rabbit-savvy children.

🌙 Find out more about Midnight online or contact RSPCA South Yorkshire Animal Centre on info@rspcadrb.org.uk.

Frankenstein needs a friend

Frankenstein
Frankenstein
Sweet little Frankenstein is a kitten who is looking for a forever home to call his own. Staff who look after him describe him as a ‘friendly little monster’ who loves to play in tunnels and practise his claw skills on his scratch post.

Frankenstein likes to be around people and loves company so will likely spend a lot of time inside the house. He’d be happy living with children, another cat and with friendly dogs.

💀 To find out more about Frankestein visit his online profile or speak to the team at RSPCA South Yorkshire Animal Centre on info@rspcadrb.org.uk.

Rehome a pet this Adoptober

The RSPCA’s ‘Homes for Halloween’ appeal kicks off as the RSPCA reveals it is facing a rehoming crisis across England and Wales. New figures show that in 2023, 42% more animals arrived at the RSPCA than were adopted.

Rehoming centres across England and Wales are at near or full capacity, with pets either waiting to be adopted, or being assessed for adoption - leaving countless dogs, cats and other animals still in emergency boarding waiting for a place at a rehoming centre.

In response, the RSPCA - which is marking its 200th year - has been running its annual ‘Adoptober’ rehoming campaign; urging animal lovers to adopt a pet from a rescue centre or RSPCA branch rather than buying from a breeder to help ease the spiralling rehoming crisis.

Last year, while the RSPCA’s 14 rehoming centres and 135 independently-run branches found new homes for an incredible 28,208 dogs, cats, rabbits and other pets, that was far fewer than the 40,118 animals that arrived at the shelters across England and Wales.
