These little kits were born two weeks ago and just have their eyes open.   There are four of them and alike as peas in a pod!   They are all ‘mackerel’ tabbies and stripey, just like little fishes.   This is a quite rare and beautiful coat marking.   Most have white bibs too so they are very […]

With his big macho head there is no doubting that this is a tom cat.    I’ve never seen him around before and he seems pretty wild.   This pic is with a zoom lense as he was sitting on the roof of the visitor centre.   Well, it is attractive venue for him, biscuits on offer, comfy […]

A feline rooftop vigil.     Cleo, who was one of our elderly feline residents, passed away in her sleep yesterday.   Although she was in her late teens, she hadn’t been ill and had been pottering around as usual earlier in the day.   Cleo ate a lunchtime pouch and  settled down in a chair for a nap.   That was it, she never woke […]

Unless kittens are handled regularly when they are very young, they soon turn into wildcats.  Miss even a day or two picking them  up and they are hissing, spitting little furies.   Although they soon go wild, they will just as quickly revert to loving babies – all it takes is patience and fussing.   While they […]

A damp summer evening is pony heaven.  The rain makes the grass green and juicy and all the ponies have their heads down and are munching away.     This is Earl, last year’s foal and still a cheeky little fella – he’s independent and full of himself.   Earl likes to boss the older ones around and […]

Please pray for all the dogs who have no hope of re-homing and whose time on earth is slipping away. There are so many reasons why a dog finishes up in a ‘no-hope’ situation.    Usually it’s because of behavioural problems.   A dog is a different species to us but we require him to always comply with our […]

[cmsms_row][cmsms_column data_width=”1/1″][cmsms_text] The one who listens when I talk, The one who cheers my lonely walk. The one who comforts when I sigh, The one who nuzzles when I cry. Who else could match my every move? Who else would feast on scraps of food? Who else would prompt this monologe?

Pray for all creatures in pain Please spare a moment to focus on all sentient beings who suffer pain at the hands of human beings.   Our Prayer Today is for Mice  Especially send your prayers for the tiny mice who have recently been forced into a ‘scientific study’ on their pain thresholds.    The mice had severe pain […]

Politically incorrect and proud of it – Jack Spratt says – ‘I’m glad I’m not a human!’ All you folks do is make a mess of things!   I don’t go out much when it’s cold so the t.v. has been on and me and Nolene have been watching the box.   It’s almost a joke except […]
