Before we can match you with a pet we need to know a bit about you, your current living circumstances as well as your preferences. You can download an application form using the above link or call in at our reception. Don't worry if you don't hear from us straightaway as we will keep your application on file for 3 months until your perfect match comes up.

If successful, you will get invited to visit our Animal Centre
If your application is successful, a staff member will contact you by telephone or email, and answer any questions you may have about the animal or the adoption process. We will then arrange a visit to our Animal Centre for you to meet your potential new pet. Some animals will require more introductions than others and this will be discussed with each individual.

Photography and home visit
We will ask for home photos to check the environment is suitable for the animal you have been matched with. For example, our staff may ask for kitchen, living room, garden, fence and outdoor housing photos. In some cases, a home visit may be carried out. This will be discussed on a case-by-case basis.

Adoption fees
We ask for a minimum adoption fee for all animals we rehome, which helps cover some of the costs of neutering, vaccinations and treatments. The adoption fees are generally much lower than the expenditure on each animal whilst in our care, and we always greatly appreciate any additional donation to help our work continue.

Beautiful friendly place, with caring attentive staff who look after the animals and visitors in a kind and friendly manner. I was given time to get to know and bond with my adopted cat and she with me. Professional and knowledgeable staff made the process simple and straightforward. I highly recommend adopting from this centre.Posted on Google![]()

The RSPCA Isle of Wight have always been hands on practical with support when I have adopted the Hamsters, Gerbils and Rabbits that I have had over the years. Advice on every aspect and even a nail cutting service. And not just in the first few weeks. Thank you. Amazing and heartwarming.Posted on Google![]()

We recently adopted two guinea pigs, Kevin and Perry, through the RSPCA and had a really positive experience. Everyone we dealt with was friendly, helpful and clearly genuinely cared about making sure the guinea pigs were going to the right home. They were very patient with all our questions about housing and the setup, and gave us plenty of useful advice without making the process feel difficult or daunting. When we went to meet Kevin and Perry, the team were lovely and gave us plenty of time with them. The whole process felt thorough but relaxed, and it was reassuring to see how well the animals were being cared for. Kevin and Perry are now settling into their new home brilliantly and are already very much part of the family. A big thank you to everyone at the RSPCA Smalls Team for all their help.Posted on Google![]()

We have adopted three guinea pigs from the Isle of Wight branch and have had a great experience every time. The staff are lovely and knowledgable and all three guinea pigs have been happy and healthy.Posted on Google![]()

I recently adopted a kitten from RSPCA Isle of Wight and I cannot fault the process, from choosing my kitten ( not the easiest of things to do with so many kittens needing loving homes) to the adoption process. The team are fantastic and guide you all the way, and put everything in place, from injections to neutering, which is all in the price. They let you know when you can take your kitten home and will give you a blanket and clean litter with your kitty ( the litter helps your kitten to know where their litter box is ) . I would recommend people to think of adoption rather than getting one from a private seller ! You have piece of mind they are health checked and the adoption price is very good, when you consider the price you pay from a private seller which will not include flea treatment, injections and neutering. Thank you the RSPCA team for my lovely kittenPosted on Google![]()

Amazing,Awesome,Fantastic and absolutely perfect. I could go on forever regarding all the staff that helped me find my boys 🥰 sadly I lost my boy of 16 years and had a big void in my life. After emailing the RSPCA Isle of Wight I was invitedby Georgina to visit some kittens and found my first, Niko (Tuxedo colour) and while waiting for him to be ready to come home was introduced to my second Jin (Ginger tabby) who will be coming home very soon. The girls at the branch were fantastic but Georgina was the best helpful and answered everything I asked (was alot lol) always willing to help no matter what. I would highly recommend a visit to them if you need some little void in yout lifecandcwabt to fill it with a perfect little personality. Thank you all you have all been amazing fantastic team. Thank you so much Ian ShakespearePosted on Google![]()
