Stripes was brought in by Paramedic and Wildlife Angel, Steve. Steve feeds the hedgehogs in his garden and noticed stripes something wasn't quite right with a back leg. He managed to catch stripes and clean the leg of dirt and scabs from the leg and then brought him to us. A thick band of hair had wrapped itself tightly around the leg and was cutting off the circulation. We removed the hair carefully. When an area of the body has had a trauma like this removing the torniquet can cause a rush of toxins into the blood stream. The leg was bandaged up to keep the wounds clean for a few days and allow the swelling to go down. Stripes is using his leg well and were pleased with the healing.

Fly strike has been rife all summer due the warm and wet weather and our hedgehog hospital is bursting at the seems.
These two hoglets are just a couple of our current inpatients. They were brought in looking unwell and after a quick investigation the odour quickly suggested we were dealing with fly strike. Flies are attracted to the damp, warm conditions of wounds and lay their eggs inside them. Within just a few hours these eggs will hatch into maggots causing havoc.
The videos were taken after cleaning the wounds for over 20mins already. Using mascara brushes, tweezers, cotton buds and pads the wounds were cleaned of pus, flies eggs and maggots, then flushed out with saline solution.
It took several more flushes and picking off individual maggots before we could treat the area but the hoglets are now cleaned up and in our ICU recovering well.

Another marathon tick removal session. Had the ticks been left this young hedgehog would have deteriorated quickly from Anaemia due the the scale of the infestation. Most have now been removed but we are checking her daily as we keep finding the odd one hiding between her spines. The process is a delicate one. Not only is the removal process uncomfortable for the hedgehog, we have to make sure the intire ticks is removed as if not this can cause the tick to regurgitate the blood and cause fatal blood poisoning. Thankfully this beautiful girl is now eating well as she is quite underweight. She will most likely be here for several months until we are happy with her weight gain. By this time it will almost be hibernation season.
Hedgehogs that don't reach a healthy weight before hibernation time stay with us over winter and will be released in the spring.
Taking in wildlife is often a longterm commitment from our team. We wouldn't be able to do it without your support.
Thank you to all our Wildlife Angels!

Amazing Grace's kittens are growing up fast. Thank you to everyone who donated @royalcanin_uk baby cat milk last week. Grace doesn't have much milk so we are having to supplement all her kittens to make sure they are getting enough and developing as they should. They were very underweight on arrival but are filling out nicely now and we super pleased with their progress. Grace is settling well too and putting on some condition. She's going to make someone a wonderful companion. We are so very grateful to the wonderful people that helped Grace and her kittens find us. It doesn't bare thinking of how different things would have been for Grace and her little family had they been left outside, especially in the awful weather we have had over the last few days.💙💛🧡

Our adoption process may be a little different to other organisations. We no longer accept online application forms. You must phone us in the first instance. We can then discuss what you are looking for and the kind of home you can provide. If we feel we may be able to help we will then invite you to visit the centre and go from there.

Harley the rabbit has made himself at home with his new family. He'll be introduced to his new rabbit friend gradually over the coming weeks. They are both young rabbits so we are keeping everything crossed that they bond well.
Rabbits are naturally sociable, so they need companionship of their own kind. They will be much happier living in pairs or compatible groups. Rabbits also need alot of space. Harley is a house rabbit and not only will have access to the house but also has a rabbit safe room when no humans are around. Harley and his new friend also have access to a large rabbit safe garden. Rabbits can happily live outdoors but must never be solely kept in a hutch. This just isn't adequate space for them. If you are considering a rabbit as a pet do your research to see if you can provide the lifestyle they need to be happy.

They say bad luck comes in threes and this was definitely the case for little Storm. Hopefully this little fledglings luck has changed now he is here with us thanks to a kind Wildlife Angel that found him.
https://www.petsamaritans.co.uk/wildlife-rescue

Storms series of unfortunate events started yesterday morning when he flew into a window. The kind owner of the window heard the thud and went out to find the pigeon concussed on the floor. She held the young pigeon until he came round and released him only to see him be attacked by an adult pigeon that was nearby. Storm managed to get away and had a lovely couple of hours walking up and down the flower beds until the third part of his unfortunate luck unfolded. The resident cat thought it might fancy a bit of pigeon for lunch.
Storm was brought to us in the afternoon afternoon and although in shock is coming round well. Poor little guy.

THEN AND NOW..Jasper is one of many kittens our team hand reared last year and he's grown up to be such a handsome young man. He was adopted by a lovely family who adore him and will soon be celebrating their first year together.
Do you have any 'Then and Now' photos of your animals? We'd love to see them.💛🧡💙

Snack time! 💙🧡💛
Once hedgehogs in our care no longer need daily treatment we move them to a secure outside area to monitor. This is the last stage of rehabilitation before being released.

Our DONATION STATION means you can drop off food donations at anytime to suit you. 💙💛🧡

Flicker the cat is one of several 'meet and greeters' here at the Pet Samaritans. Feel free to fuss them, but only if they come to you. Flicker is in her very late teens, is almost completely deaf and partially blind but is enjoying life to the full. She like most of our permanent residents has been at the sanctuary most of her life as she wouldn't entertain the thought of being adopted.

Wow...it's a bit windy!🌬🌬🌬
Thomas and Charlotte are some of today's admissions after being victims to the weather. Their nest was blown down and smashed all over the road. Thankfully the young pigeons were spotted just in time and brought to us to be cared for.

101 uses for a face mask....😷
This young starling came in today and is struggling to balance so we've made it a hammock. The hammock enables the bird to stay upright and be able to get to food and water.
Who would have thought a face mask could have other uses....

Amazing Grace and her babies are settling well.💞
Grace has been living rough for a while now but is one of the most gentle cats you will ever meet. She made sure we had caught every one of her kittens before allowing herself to be caught. A true angel.
Grace and her family will be looking for forever homes once the kittens are old enough.
