Will the cats go inside their new katkabins? Will they like them and use them? At £50 each these aren’t cheap items. We’ve all bought a high priced furry pet bed only to find that Puss likes the cardboard box instead. We needn’t have worried. The sanctuary cats ADORE their new katkabins. We didn’t […]
Isn’t this little fella just charming? Made in sterling silver and just right to put on your charm bracelet of as a pendant on a silver chain. He’s looking for a new home so that he can help our real-time dogs and cats! We have lots of other sweet charms in our newly opened online […]
Please could I let you know of our missing 8 month old kitten. She is grey tabby, quite small. She was wearing a blue collar with a bell and cat flap magnet. She is micro chipped but the paperwork has only recently been sent off. She went missing from the Killamarsh area last Monday 11th […]
Serious diseases in dogs used to be common. Dogs became seriously ill and often died from Distemper and Hepatitis. Now vaccinations keep our pets safe but it’s as well not to forget how important these routine injections are and what they protect against. Distemper – is a highly infectious and a killer.

Peaches is another member of our ‘Golden Oldie’ club. At 18years she is our next to oldest cat. This igloo was donated to us and Peaches commandeered it right away. It’s lovely and cosy and warm for her – and she has a heated pad in there as well just to […]
Japonica is our oldest pony and at 37 this year she is still in good health. She likes to go out for a saunter round every day, no matter what the weather and exercise is good for her. Keeping wrapped up warm is important though as old ponies lose body heat […]
Even the goats can make use of the clothes that are brought in. They are a desert breed – Anglo Nubians – and feel the cold more than the swiss Saanen types. This is Belinda who is making good use of a fluorescent jacket. Unwanted clothes, shoes, handbags – Please bring in any unwanted […]
Daydream has wintered well and the cold weather has encouraged her to grow a really thick long mane. We never cut the ponies manes and like to see them flowing and helping to keep them warm. They are natural and beautiful – no show pony tricks for our little mares! Daydream does like to have […]
