Polecat rescue named as "memorable" by RSPCA Wales

The rescue of a polecat from Welshpool Youth Centre is listed as one of the most memorable of the year by RSPCA Wales.

The charity has rescued thousands of animals over the last 10 years in Wales and is often called out to make sure animals of all shapes and sizes are protected and safe from harm.

The charity has released pictures of their most challenging rescues of animals that have found themselves in some sticky situations.

RSPCA Cymru’s Superintendent Martyn Hubbard said: “Looking back at some of these extremely challenging and demanding rescues - it really is fantastic to see all the animal welfare outcomes that have been achieved.

“For many of the rescues and operations we have worked with many different organisations and emergency services and we would like to thank everyone for their support helping animals in need.

“In addition, we'd like to thank the members of the public for being our eyes and ears and reporting animals in distress to us on 0300 1234 999.”
