https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/30652/rspca-and-log-numbersOK I&#39;m currently having a hard time understanding how &#39;Log numbers&#39; work nowadays?!? I was under the impression that an animal would be brought in as a stray, and a log number was acquired if they needed treatment etc. But this evening I was told thaten-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/169706?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 01 Sep 2017 12:31:24 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:e9684579-e2fc-4a60-901b-02ee59379c6fAlison Clare Hickman<p>Yay<a href="/members/timo_5f00_legend" class="internal-link view-user-profile">Ben Ogden</a></p> <p>that&#39;s admirable team work &nbsp;<img src="/emoticons/new/Very_happy_smiley.png" alt="Very Happy" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/169703?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 01 Sep 2017 08:12:43 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:7b995bf5-f0f8-4088-8ce7-1b85659a0b70Ben Ogden<p>It is quite frustrating dealing with the RSPCA call centre. Unfortunately this is the way they are now running their emergency fund.</p> <p>My advice to you is to build up strong ties to your local RSPCA branch, they do not run off HQ funding, but grants and fundraising they do themselves. We do a few fundraising things a year for our branch and have found overtime they have become more receptive to taking on strays for us and helping us finance care for them (when needed).&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/169689?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 30 Aug 2017 21:25:51 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:f322b3f8-9ce3-422c-8f82-8261ffda6ea7Maisy<p>Yes, its been like this for some time now I believe. Makes it tricky as generally the MOP who brings the stray in doesn&#39;t want to call the RSPCA in the first place, or hang about on hold, especially if its an emergency.</p> <p></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
