Pick up one of our collection boxes from the centre or request one to be posted to you and start collecting your spare change today!
The boxes can be emptied when full and reused.

Where will you put yours? At home? Work? Livery yard? Sports club?

With most venues hopefully opening again soon it would be great to get some of our collection boxes out and about and help us raise much needed funds.🧡💛💙

Kevin's foot has healed miraculously over the weekend and the two lovebirds have now moved in together.💞

Yesterday definitely felt like winter.❄🌧🌬
Cold, wet and miserable. But the ponies seemed pretty ok with it all. We, on the other hand had to add a few extra layers. And the hats and gloves made an appearance!

The ponies winter coats have longer and coarser hairs than the summer coat which help them to keep warm. The individual hairs stand up rather than lie flat against the skin. This allows the coat to trap warm and air close to his body and insulate from the cold.

Would you like to sponsor a pony? Follow the link to our donation page.⬇️ 🐴 ⬇️

LOCKDOWN LOVE
Kevin is not using his leg properly and had been noticed struggling. Having called local vets and organisations without much success. Kevin's finder and Wildlife Angel made the hour and bit trip to us from Leeds.
On arrival Kevin was clocked immediately by a young female pheasant already in our care. Whitwoo....💘 Love is definitely in the air.
Wouldn't it be fabulous once Kevin is on the mend if these two love birds could be released together.🧡💛💙

SPRINKLES AND HER KITTENS, RIPPLE, BEN AND JERRY.

Think we must have been craving chocolate and ice cream when naming this feline family.
Sprinkles is surprisingly affectionate and her kittens are slowly starting to trust us more each day. We believe the kittens to be around 5 months old and mum doesn't appear much older. Having never had human contact, the kittens are quite nervous but we were delighted to get a purr from Ben yesterday in return for a chin rub.
They look in such good condition despite living 'wild' thanks to their Guardian Angel. She has been looking after the family for several months and managed to gain enough trust to contain them in a cat trap and bring them to us last week.

If you would like to support Sprinkles and her kittens please follow the link to donate.⤵️⤵️⤵️ Donations go towards their care including neutering, vaccinations and worming.🧡💙💛

A LUCKY ESCAPE FOR GEORGE.🦔
George was found in Newbold trapped in plastic wrapping. The only way out was to cut him free. Once released George remained curled up and his rescuer arranged to bring him to us to check him over. Had he not been found when he was it would have been a very different story for sure. It's a stark reminder of how rubbish is affecting our precious Wildlife. We warmed George up on arrival as his body temperature had dropped substantially and will monitor him until we are confident he is ready for release. Hopefully a happy ending.

Our Hedgehog hospital is really busy with injured and underweight hogs. Some of them will have to stay here until the spring as they won't make the weight in time for hibernation, others will depend on how well their injuries heal.

LEST WE FORGET 💜💜💜
The purple poppy also known as the “Animal poppy” is a memorial tribute remembering the service and sacrifices of all animals, great and small, that subsequently lost their lives in service; as well as honouring and recognising animals within the armed forces who bravely serve and work the frontline today.

With bonfire night and Halloween in sight, the Pet Samaritans and Wildlife Angels are urging people to build bonfires on the day they are to be lit to save hedgehogs and other wildlife from being harmed. Hedgehogs are particularly at risk from burning to death as a bonfire can provide an ideal habitat for these curious nocturnal creatures if built in advance of the planned event. Ideally, any material that is to be used for a bonfire should be stored away from the site and then used on the day so as to minimise any risk to wildlife and hedgehogs.

If a bonfire has to be built in advance, simple precautions such as erecting chicken wire around the perimeter of the bonfire can help stop wildlife from nesting inside. Hedgehogs are able to climb, so any wire should slope outwards and be at least a meter high, to prevent them making their way in.

Before lighting it is important to do a thorough check for hedgehogs and wildlife. Always use a broom or pole to check the centre and bottom areas of the bonfire as a spade or fork could cause serious injury

Orval the young Jay came to us last week as he can't fly yet and was looking extremely thin, wet and bedraggled. He's looking so much brighter already and is eating well.🧡💙💛

Cooper arrived late yesterday with large puncture wound that was very smelly and teeming with maggots. Flystrike is a painful and often fatal condition caused by flies laying eggs on another animal. The eggs hatch into maggots which eat their 'hosts' flesh. The cycle happens very quickly so its imperative animals are treated with urgency.
Coppers wound was flushed and treated and he has settled over night. He's is a good weight so we are hopeful he will recover well.

A big thank you to everyone who offered help of transport last night. The Cooper family brought him to us in the end. They waited for Dad to get in from work and then sprung on him that he had a hedgehog rescue mission to do! #superdad

Project Photobooth!📸
We struggle sometimes to get pictures of the animals, especially wildlife, that are good enough quality to share with you. We don't have the luxury of professional photographer but we know how much you love updates. So we put our creative heads together and 'Project Photobooth' was created yesterday from a cardboard box and some white emulsion! We just need a light source to help eliminate the shadows....if you have any affordable recommendations we'd love to hear from you.
Candy and Floss the chicks enjoyed modelling for us this morning. Read their story here⤵️💛⤵️

TITCH THE TINY HEDGEHOG.🦔
Titch was brought in today from Bolsover by a kind gentleman who was very rightly worried by the size of his spikey garden visitor. Titches teeth and spine development estimates him to be around 5weeks old but his weight is more that of a two week old hoglet. He would definitely not have survived much longer without human intervention so this little fighter is now resting on a heat pad in our wildlife hospital and will be given the 5* treatment he deserves. Titch will stay with us along with many other underweight hedgehogs over winter until their release in the spring.

If you would like to support the hedgehogs in our care there are several ways you can help...

Our Wildlife Hospital is still busy with new patients arriving every day. Dave the young Pigeon was brought to us by Wildlife Angels at Derbyshire Constabularys CID department a few days ago. He had been horrifically attacked by other birds after fallen from his nest.
Dave's injuries have cleaned up well but he is still struggling to eat so for now food is being offered by syringe. We are however hopeful he will recover with time and proper care.🧡💙💛
