"Seniors for Seniors" pets reduce loneliness and isolation

RSPCA NSW offers a 50% discount on pets for Senior Card holders if they adopt one of our ‘golden oldie’ animals – those are dogs and cats aged over eight years old.

While they may not be a plucky puppy or kitten, golden oldies are in the prime of their life. These animals still have so much love and friendship to give to a new owner, and in many cases, will fit right into their new forever home with minimal adjustment. With an older animal, what you see is what you get!

Along with the reduced adoption fee, the Seniors for Seniors promotions comes with access to our Home Ever After (HEA) program. HEA is a tailored, future care plan for pets, should something happen to their owner.

In addition, all RSPCA NSW veterinary hospitals offer a 10% discount on veterinary services for Seniors Card holders.
