ARC rescues, fosters and rehomes unwanted animals in the Richmond upon Thames area. We want every animal in the local area to be loved and cared for. We work mainly with cats, rabbits and guinea pigs, but also with dogs and ‘small furries’ such as hamsters and chinchillas. At A.R.C., we judge our success on the high standard and quality of the care we provide to each individual animal. The animals that come to us are looked after in foster homes by loving, experienced carers until a permanent home is found for them. We do not put animals down unless they are suffering. Based in Twickenham, A.R.C. is run without any paid staff or premises; keeping costs to a minimum and relying on the support of our members, volunteers and generosity of members of the public. Every pound that is donated or raised through fundraising, goes straight to helping animals in need. We’re also passionate about providing advice and information to the public about caring for their animals and the importance of neutering. You’ll find us at local events and fairs, meeting pet owners and sharing our knowledge. All our work is made possible by the generosity of the public – thank you for your support! Find out how you can help us reach even more animals in need by donating or getting involved.
