What a difference a day makes – yesterday Cassie was stressed and not sure whether motherhood was right for her. Today she is settling down to babycare and getting used to being a mom. She still looks a bit surprised though, she’s barely out of kittenhood herself and at […]
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS SENT FOOD FOR THE CATS – It’s a tremendous help. Good food and excellent veterinary treatment (thanks Bruce and Spire Vets) and lots of t.l.c. have pulled Misty back from the brink. Doesn’t she look a lot better now? Even her coat is […]
It’s tiny, jet black, just born and Cassie thinks her kitten is wonderful! When I checked on her this morning she looked as though she’d changed her mind and kittening was the last thing she was thinking of – by lunch time there was the new kitten, already snuggling up and […]
The ponies have had their feet trimmed, now it’s their turn to see the dentist. Checking horse and pony teeth is an essential job, their teeth grow all the time and if they aren’t kept short by the food they eat, they will develop sharp spikes which dig into […]
Cassie, our car park kitten, is still eating for England, knocking back the goat’s milk yoghurt and feeling more settled. She is a sweet little thing, not very big though and immature in her development. She has a nice soft purr and lets me pick her up now so that is […]

We never know what each day with bring and it isn’t all happy endings in the sanctuary. We’re dedicated to helping people along with their animals and this week we helped out in a very sad case. A gentleman who is elderly and in poor health had to make the difficult […]
The vet came to vaccinate the puppies today – they were in their usual ‘couch potato’ mood and didn’t blink an eyelid. I’ve never known such placid well behaved puppies! So now those that are reserved are ready for their new homes. Mum also had a vaccination as she wasn’t […]
Mr. Big came in as a stray and wasn’t claimed – but when we put him up for adoption his original owner, just by chance, saw his picture on our website. What’s the very best ending for one of our stray dog stories? Yes, it’s news that the dog is […]
Finnegan is a lovely placid puppy. When his mum Rosie first came in as a stray we didn’t know she was in pup. But as she became fatter and fatter it was obvious and she gave birth to five beautiful bouncing babies after she’d been with us […]
