Christmas came early for the pet guests at RSPCA’s Southridge, Birmingham, Greater Manchester, Newport and Gonsal Farm Animal Centres thanks to the recent delivery of a new high tech Scout 83 pet monitoring camera and leading HomeSurf 744 Tablet, which has been gifted to them by innovative technology company Motorola.

The gifting of the top-of-the-range Scout 83 means RSPCA staff and volunteers at the five centres will be able to check in on their precious pets around the clock, using tablets and mobile devices. 

Whilst RSPCA carers continually keep an eye on animals in their care, the Scout 83 camera will enable them to be able to check in on their animals whether they are in a different part of the building or site.  


 
This donation to RSPCA centres around the country follows hot on the heels of the recent launch of the Motorola Scout 83. Each time a Motorola Scout is sold a percentage of the profits is paid to the RSPCA.

Presenting the gift to local volunteers, Jon Bugden from Motorola, said: “We are delighted to be able to bring some Christmas cheer to the animals, volunteers and staff at the five RSPCA Centres and hope the new Motorola Scout 83 along with our HomeSurf Tablet will provide a great way for carers to check in on what the pets are up to from wherever they are in the centre.”


 
RSPCA Southridge’s centre manager Anna White said: “Christmas is still a busy time of the year for staff and volunteers at our centre. Sadly we still receive many animals brought into our centre who have been rescued by our hard-working inspectors from cruelty and neglect. It’s nice for our team to receive this present from Motorola, and also it’s a timely opportunity to remind everyone locally that if you’re thinking of giving a present, please don’t make it a pet.
  
“We have lots of lovely animals that would love a new home, but pets should be introduced into the home in a calm environment. The pressures of Christmas make it too stressful for the animal and the family, so we recommend planning the introduction of a new pet pal in the New Year when the seasonal frenzy has subsided.”
