In December 2011 RSPCA Qld moved from the Fairfield Shelter to the new Animal Care Campus at Wacol. The animals just love it here, but they would love a forever home even more! So why not come and visit us to see if you can find your new best friend?

To celebrate the new year, until the 15th January, all adult cats (over 16 weeks old) are available for the special adoption price of $20.12. All cats have been desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed & health tested. We have lots of cool cats who are just purring to find a new home to settle in to. Visit www.adoptapet.com.au or phone 1300 364 443 to find your purrfect feline furever friend this New Year!

We are open 10am to 7pm, 7 days a week for adoptions.

The countdown has begun. RSPCA Fairfield is closing, with the last open day on Thursday 8 December. We will re-open again on Tuesday 13 December at the wonderful new Animal Care Campus. We are excited, and we hope to see you there! The address is 139 Wacol Station Rd, Wacol. Hopefully we will have lots of visitors before AND after Christmas!

In the meantime, we are having a ‘Good Buy’ sale at the Fairfield Shelter, which will run up until this Sunday 4 December. Dogs and puppies are $350, and you will get an extra canine merchandise pack worth $350 for free! Cats and kittens are $199 and you will receive a feline merchandise pack worth $200 for free! So come along and find your furever friend this week.

What a difference 3.5 weeks can make in building our new facility. The upper floor of admin is now finished. The cattery is finished, the Inspectorate Drop Off Area is finished, the Warehouse is finished!

The ground floor level of the admin block is very close to being finished, and the Vet Hospital and Wildlife Hospital look the part. Many of the accommodations for animals in holding are arriving at the end of the month, with kennels at the end of November.

Oh, and our fencing is going up for the paddocks and soon there will be earth moving equipment on site as we start the shaping of the various exercise yards, paddocks and the Animal Training fields. Things are shaping up!

Now we can compare the aerial shot from 2009 to now – what a change!

The Animal Care Campus TVC has officially gone to air on Channel 9! Make sure you watch out for RSPCA Qld ambassadors Matthew Hayden and Sylvia Jeffreys over the next few weeks. Here is a copy, what do you think?

We are getting closer to the Animal Care Campus opening, and we thought we’d like to re-visit some history. Here is an aerial shot of the facility back in 2009. Things have certainly changed!

It is 104 days until we start to close the chapters on RSPCA Qld at Fairfield. For some this has been a long time coming, and we are all very excited!

Years in the making, this facility is going to revolutionise animal welfare in Queensland, and have a massive impact on a positive outlook for companion animals, livestock and wildlife around the state.

We will post some images soon so you can all see the progress!
