Cash Donations
Donations made to the Whyalla Animal Shelter will assist the operation of the shelter, support the work of the Inspectorate, provide community education on animal welfare issues and help the RSPCA to bring about improvements in animal welfare legislation. Most importantly donations help us to look after the daily needs of the animals in our care.

If you wish to donate to the Whyalla Animal Shelter please send a cheque or money order, made payable to:

RSPCA SA (Inc) Whyalla Animal Shelter
PO Box 2287
Whyalla Norrie SA 5608

All donations over $2 are tax deductible Donation Form

Many shops around Whyalla also have Wombat collection boxes on their counters for collecting your spare change after a transaction. Every five cents does help.

Food and Bedding Donations
The Shelter is always appreciative of donations of old towels and blankets to use as bedding.  Any good quality pet food is also welcomed.

Goods may be dropped off at the Shelter or taken into the Westpac Bank branch on Forsyth Street.

RSPCA Merchandise
The RSPCA has a range of pet products and gift lines available. The Shelter stocks a selection of goods and any catalogue lines may be ordered through the Shelter. All proceeds from sales through the Shelter stay in Whyalla to benefit the animals of the Shelter.

Membership
A strong membership base is vital to the RSPCA to help implement change to both animal welfare laws and community attitudes towards animals. Members receive a regular copy of the RSPCA Journal, keeping you up to date with what is happening in the organisation and the latest news in animal welfare issues. You can also participate in the running of the Whyalla Animal Shelter by joining the Whyalla Branch Committee.
