Krystal is in her mid twenties and has been at the sanctuary for many years. She is a lovely, gentle pony and apart from having only one eye, she has been fit and well – until recently. A few weeks ago Krystal became lame and when the farrier came he diagnosed laminitis. […]
Will there be a happy ending for this poor old cat who was brought in to us yesterday. He’s been ‘living rough’ in some gardens and a kind cat lover has been feeding him and doing his best for him. Eventually he caught him and brought him in to us. […]
