It ‘s a terrible worry when a pet goes missing, even worse when he’s a 17 year old cat who is also blind. Jasper is much loved and his owner is desperate to find him. The weather is so cold and we have to hope that some kind […]
The weather forecast is for more freezing weather to come and keeping our animals warm is a priority. If you have any dog coats you don’t need any more we would love to have them. Also we need more blankets, fleeces and bedding. Clothes are always useful, we can make polo […]
When new cats come in to the sanctuary we like them to have a vet health check. As well as being vaccinated we need to make sure they don’t have any underlying health problems which might affect their recovery and well being. So today we gathered a group of the cats together – […]
It comes to us all in the end and when elderly owners pass away, who is going to care for their pets? Sometimes relatives just can’t cope. That’s when they turn to us. We have an emergency pet care scheme and (space and funds permitting) we will look after […]

Miss Nolene likes to sit on the sofa and can nearly get up there on her own. Nearly. She is a disabled dog who has had spinal problems in the past. Major surgery at a veterinary hospital (£1600+!) and then an extensive period of re-hab did the trick and helped Nolene to walk again. […]
We have had more cats brought in over Christmas and, although we’ve found some wonderful homes for a few of our rescues, we still have many cats who are needing a place of their own. Also our list of permanent residents – our ‘golden oldie’ club, keeps growing. This is a picture of Toby (amazing […]
