If I could rate it more stars I would. The team at the Isle of Wight RSPCA are just incredible. Everyone’s been so lovely and helpful. I now have a wonderful delightful bunny hoping around my garden in the sun and i wouldn’t have her if it wasn’t for them. Originally I was back and forth about travelling to the island however when I got there I instantly thought wow I can’t believe I didn’t get in contact sooner. They work so so hard there and I really admire everything they do. Especially Carrie in the small animals team. She has been amazing. Everything was so smoothly ran and I couldn’t thank her enough. I can promise you now, If you’re thinking of coming from the mainland to the IOW to rescue an amazing animal, it is 100% worth it. Even if you go just to meet the team it would still be a lovely day out from how welcoming they are. 1000 stars ✨❤️

Lovely rehoming centre! Have adopted 2 rabbits now. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Great advice on rabbit care and bonding! Have also attended health check clinic when they run them with buns couple times! Can’t fault the care and service! Thankyou! ❤️

We adopted Benedict (guinea pig) (right in the pic) from the Isle of Wight RSPCA. They were very informative and helpful in finding us a match for our other guinea who had recently lost her companion. The staff were lovely and kept in touch after we brought Benedict home, ensuring he was well and happy. 😃 we would definitely recommend the RSPCA Isle of Wight for anyone who is looking to rehome an animal.

We adopted 4 guinea pigs from RSPCA Isle of Wight on New Year's Day, and whole process went very smoothly and was hassle free. We particularly liked that the staff were very approachable and friendly, and they obviously care very much for the animals and their well being. Keep up the good work, you are doing a wonderful job.

We adopted our lovely Spaniel-cross (Maggie) 6 months ago. She has changed our lives! Everyone at Bohemia Corner was so helpful throughout the adoption process. All the animals are very well cared for and much loved by the all staff. If you are considering having a new pet in your family please adopt, don't buy, these animals just need caring loving homes.

I've just adopted a lovely dog. I would always prefer to look for a rescue and this is the third dog or cat I've been lucky to find at RSPCA Isle of Wight. They are always helpful and very supportive which is reassuring when you take on a new pet. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

We adopted a beautiful boy guinea pig to come live with our two girl piggies. Carrie-Anne was so helpful and responsive and you can tell that the animals welfare really is the foremost concern for her. Adoption was very straightforward and we even got a record of all his vet and health checks along with a lovley description of him and his favourite things to ensure we could give him the best welcome to his forever home. He is settling in so so well and knowing that he has had such great care with them is very reassuring. And considering how much medical attention he had had with them, including his neuter, the rehoming fee really was so reasonable. If you are looking to welcome a fur baby into your family please always consider this rescue centre. They are absolutely excellent. I have added a picture of our sweet boy snuggling in with one of his new companions. (He is the little blonde sausage)
