RSPCA rescues: 18 pictures of animals getting themselves into a pickle and having to be rescued including Einstein the Iguana and Mowgli the cat

For 200 years, the RSPCA has been there for animals in need of a helping hand. Every day the country’s oldest animal welfare charity rescues, rehabilitates and rehomes hundreds of animals with very special backgrounds and stories of triumph over adversity - and in the last ten years, has found new homes for 111 pets every single day.

Dermot Murphy, RSPCA inspectorate commissioner from the animal charity’s frontline rescuers, said: “We know that many believe Blue Monday to be one of the days people find most difficult. But we hope showcase how animal lovers have helped us help so many animals over the last year and beyond will put a smile on people's faces this Blue Monday."

From an Iguana named Einstein getting stuck up a tree to Mowgli the cat falling 30 feet down a mine shaft, take a look at some of the heartwarming tales from 2023 to distract you from the gloom of Blue Monday.

The RSPCA are calling on members of the public to join the winter rescue by donating to help rescue teams reach the thousands of animals who desperately need them.
