Report concerns FAQs

If you wish to report an injured or distressed animal, please call our animal helpline on the number shown above. 

The Scottish SPCA is now using what3words. Download the app to get the unique three word code for your location and make it easier for our team to respond to your call.

As we are only rehoming via our website right now, please don't call us if that's what you are enquiring about, so our helpline team can assist those with animals in urgent need.
