Normally the strays brought in to us are emaciated. Just occasionally we get one who is a bit plump. That’s a fat tummy! We study them and begin to wonder whether the dog is pregnant. There was just no doubt at all when this little lady turned up. Not only is she full of puppies […]
Jasmine’s kittens are two weeks old and now have their eyes open. They are moving and wriggling and squirming about as well. Yesterday she moved them from her original nest to a new one she’s made. When one of them tried to go back she smartly picked him up in her mouth and put him […]
PLEASE SIGN OUR PETITION << click here to sign We don’t just rescue cats and dogs – campaigning against the enormous amount of cruelty in the animal world, especially in the farming industry, is a large part of our work. Slaughtering lambs, sheep and goats by ritual slaughter has appalled us since we saw it […]
Sparky is feeling better and is out and about again and back at work as a sanctuary greeter. We can’t stop him – it’s what he loves to do. But sadly, our lovely Sparks has been diagnosed with throat cancer and that he’s looking so well is only because of the excellent treatment he is […]
When cats get cancer there is not normally much you can do. When it happened to Sparky, who is one of our resident ‘golden oldie’ cats we were very upset. He’s been here most of his life since he was brought to us with bad injuries to his leg when he was a kitten. Sparks […]
Most people love dogs but recently the cat has overtaken them in the popularity stakes. In the U.K. and worldwide there are many millions more cats kept as pets than there are dogs. So why is this? Maybe it’s a lifestyle thing? We have to go out to work, especially in these times of financial […]
Whether you are buying a baby rabbit or an adult you have to make sure that the accommodation you provide will be big enough. Youngsters grow quickly and some rabbit breeds are very large. As far as the hutch is concerned, the bigger the better. The tiny, flimsy cabins that are so often on sale […]
Great sadness when we read this articile in the Daily Mail 28th April. The greatest joy in the life of animal enthusiast David Brown was the wild habitat he owned opposite his cottage that was home to foxes, badgers, hedgehogs and squirrels. So when he wrote his will, Mr Brown chose to leave his property […]
A big thank you for all your help this week – this year has so far been a struggle and it’s been wonderful to see pet food arrive and donations and all sorts of good things brought in to raise money for the animals. We’ve had so many strays arrive recently (thrown out because of […]
Will it stop the strays? Our experience over a great many years is that it won’t make any difference. The organisations who are campaigning for it so loudly don’t take in stray dogs. Microchipping is a wonderful aid in restoring lost pets to their loving and caring owners. The majority of dogs who do bad […]
