Description
The Society for Abandoned Animals (SAA), located at Mosley Acre Farm, Stretford, Manchester, is a haven for cats and rabbits in need. Officially registered in 1967 and originally established in 1966 by Peggy Henderson, the charity was set up in response to the displacement of animals during housing clearance in Manchester. Over the years, the sanctuary has been dedicated to rescuing and rehoming animals, relying on donations, volunteer support, and fundraising activities.
The SAA performs home checks prior to adoption to ensure animals find suitable forever homes. Staffed by a small team and many volunteers, the sanctuary operates seven days a week, providing comprehensive care including health checks, vaccinations, and necessary treatments.
