Ayla

Gender - Female
Age - Four years old
Breed - Terrier crossbreed
Colour - Tan
If you want to adopt Ayla you can view her full profile here.
Ayla arrived at the RSPCA with untreated ear and eye infections and very itchy skin that was causing her discomfort.
After months of treatment, she is feeling much better, but is still on some treatment for her skin that her new owner will need to continue with.
Overall, she is described as a "wonderful little dog with lots of personality", but can be a bit cautious at first around new people.
Alya loves nothing more than long walks, and she is especially fond of the seafront.
The RSPCA adds: "She would be perfect for someone who works from home and/or retired and wants the constant loving affection that Ayla gives.
KitKat

Gender - Female
Age - Two years old
Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed
Colour - Ginger
If you want to adopt KitKat you can view her full profile here.
KitKat is described as a sweet cat who is full of energy and can be very cheeky.
She really loves her food and will try her luck at taking anything edible that you leave unattended.
Due to her food-loving tendencies, she will not be suitable for living with young children and other animals.
She would benefit from an experienced cat home who loves to play and give her lots of fuss.
The RSPCA adds: "She is a very outgoing girl and loves to explore so would love a home where she can have lots of outdoor space."
Bear

Gender - Male
Age - One year old
Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed
Colour - Black
If you want to adopt Bear you can view his full profile here.
Bear is said to have a "cheeky and loving personality" who enjoys cuddles and sitting on people's laps.
He has FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), so he will need to be an indoor-only cat.
Ideally, this would be a large home with plenty of space for enrichment to keep him occupied.
It may also be helpful to have a catio to allow him some enclosed outdoor space.
Bear can get some separation anxiety when left alone, so he would like a home where he has human company for a large part of the day.
Aubin and Alaska

Gender - Male (Aubin) and Female (Alaska)

If you want to adopt Aubin and Alaska you can view their full profile here.
Aubin and Alaska came into the RSPCA after being born in foster care and are looking to find a home together.
Recommended reading:
They are "strong-willed characters" who don't enjoy being picked up as they tend to wriggle.
Aubin will need regular grooming due to his long mane and Alaska loves a cardboard box to play with.
The RSPCA adds: "In their next home, they will need a large setup, shed or wendy house with a run attached. They could also live indoors as they are clean."

Havering Council said the RSPCA has advised that the buzzard may be protecting its nest or council said as buzzards are protected by law, "intervention options are very limited, and we have advised that warning signs would be the easiest solution at this time".The council added: "We completely understand how difficult and worrying this situation is for the school and local residents and we regret that there is not a quick or straightforward solution."

UK's oldest white-tailed eagle dies aged 32
The UK's oldest wild white-tailed eagle has died in Scotland at the age of 32, RSPB Scotland has announced. The eagle, a female named Frisa, hatched on Mull in 1992 and paired up with her long-term mate Skye in 1997. The pair raised their first chick on the island in 1998, and went on to raise a total of 25 chicks in their 28 years of partnership. Frisa was known to 'millions' thanks to appearances in a number of BBC programmes over the last two decades, beginning with the very first episode of Springwatch in 2005. Her death was announced on the latest episode of the programme on June 2. RSPB ambassador Dave Sexton, who spent 21 of his 36-year RSPB career working with white-tailed eagles on Mull, described Frisa as 'a very special bird who had touched the hearts of millions who saw her both on TV and in the wild'. He added: 'As Frisa got on in years, I dreaded the day I would visit her territory and find her gone. 'Sadly, that day has come and I feel like I've lost a friend. 'But what a wonderful life she had with her mate Skye. Together they raised 25 chicks, many of which are now breeding far and wide across Scotland. 'She was a true icon for white-tailed eagles and she'll always hold a special place in my heart.' RSPB Scotland said Frisa has not been seen since last year, leading experts to believe she has died either of natural causes, or following an altercation with another eagle. Skye has also been spotted with another younger female eagle on Mull, which further suggests that Frisa has passed away as white-tailed eagles mate for life. At 31 years of age, Skye now takes on the mantle as the UK's oldest wild white-tailed eagle. Frisa's mother Blondie successfully raised the very first white-tailed eagle to fledge in Scotland following the reintroduction of the species in 1975. The species previously became extinct in the UK in 1918 when the last known native wild bird was shot in Shetland. A reintroduction project on the Isle of Rum using chicks donated from Norway has since seen the species re-establish a self-sustaining population in Scotland. There are now estimated to be up to 200 pairs of white-tailed eagles in the UK.

The RSPCA is seeking 2,500 volunteers to help wildlife
The 'Wildlife Friends' initiative, launched in 2023, aims to create a million-strong movement to protect animals by undertaking simple tasks in gardens and outdoor spaces. These tasks, such as creating mini wildlife ponds or providing wildlife drinking stations, help prevent injuries to animals and free up RSPCA staff to tackle cases of cruelty and neglect. RSPCA volunteer experience partner Sherry Flanagan said: "This summer, a little kindness goes a long way. "They are small acts of kindness which take a few minutes, but they will make a big difference to wildlife." There are currently around 7,200 people volunteering with the RSPCA across England and Wales. Volunteers sign up via an online app and choose from a menu of activities, logging details and pictures of their completed tasks. More than 10,209 wild animals were admitted to RSPCA wildlife centres last year. RSPCA head of volunteering Brian Reeves said: "All our volunteers are amazing and make a huge difference to animal welfare through the kind gift of their time, skills, and energy. "We know animals are facing huge challenges and need our help more than ever."
