Prior to joining the Ferring-based charity, Tracy worked for the NSPCC for more than 20 years and, before that, at the RSPCA in Brighton for eight years, working her way up from kennel maid, to supervisor, to assistant manager and then sanctuary manager.

A statement from Wadars read: “It is with great sadness that we share the news that Tracy Cadman passed away peacefully at St Barnabas Hospice in May.

“Tracy was a dedicated member of Wadars for ten years. Through her compassion, commitment, and tireless work, she helped build far more than a workplace, she created a genuine extended family among staff and volunteers.

“Her passion was always centred on the welfare of the animals in our care. Tracy worked tirelessly to ensure every animal was treated with kindness and dignity and given the very best opportunity to find a loving home.

“Our trustees, staff, and volunteers extend their deepest condolences to Tracy’s family and friends at this difficult time.

“Tracy will be remembered with great affection and respect. We are committed to continuing her work and honouring her legacy by upholding the values she cared for so deeply.”

A Facebook post on the RSPCA Brighton page read: “Our hearts go out to our friends and colleagues at Wadars. Tracy was a great force for animals in need and she will be much missed by the animal welfare community in Sussex.”
