It’s been hectic in our wildlife world so far this year. We’ve had injured birds brought in most days, often they just need time to recover, feed again and get their strength back.Lucky the pigeon had been attacked by a cat and was in a sorry state. His wounds have healed and feathers grown back. […]
It’s been another busy week at the sanctuary. We’d like to say a big thank you to all those Pet Samaritans out there watching out for Wildlife at this time of year. We’ve had everything from baby hedgehogs found at Chesterfield Royal hospital, fledgling birds saved from prowling cats to little lost ducklings. We are […]
Everyone is so polite even at feeding time. It’s safe to say the cats all love Kitty City. They all get on great together in our newly refurbished facility. It has such a lovely warm feel, it seems to have a soothing effect on the cats and helps them get back into a normal routine […]
[cmsms_row][cmsms_column data_width=”1/1″][cmsms_text] This little orphan was found by a kind Pet Samaritan near a busy main road. Mum was nowhere to be seen. It’s a miracle it was spotted in time as baby ducklings are easy targets for predators not to mention oncoming traffic. It soon settled in at the Sanctuary with Jo and Kate […]

We’ve tried to patch it – she knew we should have built it out of bricks […]
[cmsms_row][cmsms_column data_width=”1/1″][cmsms_text] It’s been all hands on deck over the last week. We seem to be busier than we have ever been. The problem of unwanted pets continues with abandoned cats and unwanted dogs. We receive requests for help for them on almost a daily basis. Pets are important to us, we depend on them for companionship and […]
It was a really hectic week at the animal sanctuary with wildlife rescues, dogs, cats, chickens, ducks and ferrets galore, so apologies we missed our deadline for our weekly poem. We found this poem in the pages of a book brought into our jumble recycling center the other day. Thanks to everyone who continues to […]
We are appealing for any information regarding Oscar, a beautiful black and white male cat. He was last seen in the Woodbridge Rise area of Walton, Chesterfield around lunchtime on Friday 7th July. His owner is most worried as he is elderly, frail and it is most out of character for him to disappear. He […]
[cmsms_row][cmsms_column data_width=”1/1″][cmsms_text] We received a call the other day about a couple of kittens found in a rabbit hutch. Feral cats are often seen in the area where the kittens were found, so when a concerned Pet Samaritan called us, we were on our way to help. The poor little kittens were in a terrible […]
Say hello to the latest arrivals at the Animal Sanctuary. Seven little mandarin ducks. Keeping track of the names is quite the task. We have in no particular order, Duck Norris, Quackie Chan, Quack Sparrow, Duckleberry Finn, Daisy Duck, Puddles and Peekaboo. They needed a new home and we scrambled round to accomodate them all. […]
