Animal Rescue and Care
In 2001, five women got together with the vision that every animal in the Richmond Upon Thames area should have a loving roof over their head. Since then, Animal Rescue and Care (ARC) has grown from small beginnings to a local charity that has helped over 6,000 animals. The charity rescue, foster and rehome cats, rabbits and guinea pigs, as well as dogs and small animals like hamsters and chinchillas. Based in Twickenham, ARC is run without any paid staf or premises; keeping costs to a minimum and relying on the support of members, volunteers and generosity of members of the public. Every penny that is donated or raised through fundraising goes straight to helping animals in need.animalrescueandcare.org.uk
