He’s a big cat and very handsome but sadly he’s gone missing from his home near Bolsover.  He’s a home boy who doesn’t usually roam and his owner is devastated and desperate for news. He has to be somewhere, might be shut in a shed so please check outbuildings, garages etc.  The heavy showers of […]

We have just one African Pygmy hedgehog looking for a new home.   He was brought in because his owner could not care for him any more, he’s called Peanuts and is a friendly little chap. These hedgehogs are smaller than our wild ones and they are a lovely pale silvery colour.  They can’t be kept […]

He’s now found a lovely home, thanks folks.  Snowball was born here, his mum a stray who was brought in.  His little sister Snowball was re-homed recently.   He’s an adorable kitten who was very small when his mum gave birth to him and has been very slow to grow.   He’s still a tiny […]

Millie is a lovable little girl dog who came in because of domestic circumstances.  She is a real poppet, well behaved and not put a paw wrong since we met her.  She’s a Cairn Terrier with a broken coat and a lovely apricot colour.  Millie wants to please and have praise, she likes to sit […]

When Claudia adopted Cleo earlier this year we knew that the kitten would have a superb home.   She’s growing up now and much loved.  It’s great to have the updates and keep in touch, we love to see your photos and know how ‘our’ cats and dogs are going on. Getting a lifetime home […]

Save the hedgehogs – their numbers are in decline.   We have hedgehogs in all shapes and sizes in our hedgehog hospital. This is one of the little ones and we’ll be keeping him over winter as he isn’t big enough to be released.   If they aren’t heavy enough with plenty of body fat […]

We re-homed Finlay earlier in the year and he’s having a great life.  His folks have just sent this update, he’s just back from the groomers and looking very smart.  He’s doing very well in his training and working for a bronze award – well done Finlay.   Here’s what they have to say about […]

This poorly hedgehog was brought in earlier this week.  He has no apparent injuries but just to look at him we can see he’s not well.  He’s neither curled up in defensive mode or out and active.  He won’t unwrap  himself and just wants to be still and be left alone. Mostly it’s eating slugs […]

Demelza’s kittens are doing well and aren’t they beauties!   Two ginger and white and a well marked tabby.  We haven’t look what sex they are as yet, we’re disturbing them as little as possible.   Demelza is nursing them well but she is still unsettled and mistrustful of everyone, she is a scared little […]

Is it because dogs are lazy slobs while cats like to be clean?  No, it’s all because of their tongues.  You would think that dogs and cats would have tongues that are the same, they look similar don’t they?  But the tongue of a dog is smooth whilst a cat has a rough, rasping one. […]
