A big Monday morning thank you for all the good things you have brought in to us over the past week – especially the cat food – it came in just at the right time when stocks were low – and thank you for the donation of a KatKabin – we’ll get it on order […]
We regularly trim the nails of our dog. Our cat claws the furniture and makes a dreadful mess, can we cut his nails too? We’re often asked this, mostly because cats like to sharpen their claws and it does a lot of damage. If your cat doesn’t attack the sofa it isn’t usually necessary to […]
Our cats take an interest in everything we do and this is Bing who was fascinated when we made a snowman. It’s still very cold here with icicles 2 feet long on the buildings. The drive and yard are clear but where there is snow it is deep and in drifts. Bing is a character […]
Most dogs are socialized and friendly. A family pet isn’t likely to make a determined attack on anyone. But when several dogs are kept together they become a pack and that alters all the rules. If they haven’t had enough exercise, are defending their territory and if they are hungry too, the potential for disaster […]
The snow was a foot deep, there were long icicles on all the fences and the ground was frozen and slippery. But a pet emergency is just that and in the middle of the storm a car somehow made it up the drive and brought three rabbits in to us. A dog had been attacking […]
Do you expect me to go out in this? It’s a winter wonderland and today we’re concentrating on caring for the animals, the drive is impassible and we can’t wait for warmer weather. This little dog isn’t so sure about going for a walk in the snow, the bigger dogs love it and want to […]

Chelsea, together with her family, has recently been fund raising for the sanctuary and has been cake baking, face painting […]
Dear friends, We recently trialled a Kat Kabin at the Sanctuary for the Sanctuary cats and the good news is, it was an instant hit. It’s so cold out there, this nifty cat bed enclosure is just the job for the british climate as they have been developed to withstand the widest range of temperature […]
It was white over with snow again this morning, the cost of living goes up and up and for most of us, keeping going is a balancing act. We don’t want our pets to suffer or go without but what can we do to cut the cost of pet care? Lower pet food costs -Cats […]
All the horses in the sanctuary have regular check ups with the Equine Dentist and last week it was Japonica’s turn. She is our oldest pony and it’s difficult to keep weight on her, she can’t eat hard food or hay and has to have a special diet. The dentist puts a special bridge on […]
