Our mission

A complete circle of care

PACT Animal Charity provides the highest standards of welfare to animals in our care - whatever their situation or journey.

We deliver a complete circle of ethical animal care: rescuing animals in need, rehabilitating them with expert treatment, and offering them a second chance through rehoming or release.

Every decision we make is guided by compassion, expertise, and integrity. When an animal can recover, we support them every step of the way. And when difficult decisions are necessary, we act with care, dignity, and responsibility. Always.

Learn how we help

Adopt an animal

Find your companion

Some animals come to us needing a new beginning. With the right care - and the right home - they can thrive again.

Each animal is assessed individually to ensure the best possible match. When you adopt, you become part of their second chance.

Success stories

Second chances in action

Every animal’s journey is different. What connects them is the care they receive - and the future they go on to find.

Charley

A long wait. A loving home.

Charley spent six years in PACT’s care, overcoming distemper, Cramp Syndrome, and leishmaniasis with remarkable spirit.

Through every setback, she stayed playful, affectionate, and full of love. Finding the right home was never going to be simple, but Charley finally got the warm, secure family life she had waited so long for.

Jordan & Steffie

Left behind. Never abandoned.

Found abandoned outside Norwich, Jordan and Steffie arrived at PACT in very different states. Jordan needed urgent surgery for a maggot-infested wound, while Steffie was treated for a severe flea infestation.

Thanks to fast intervention and expert care, both rabbits recovered and went on to find the safe, loving indoor home they deserved.
