He’s at home in the kitchen and is tame and friendly. Jingle is a good natured boy and likes to be picked up and fussed. When he’s been fed he rolls over on to his back to have his tummy tickled. Jingle was very thin when he first came in but has put weight […]
All the kittens brought in this year have had stunning good looks, some have been unusual too. Several have had blue eyes which is unusual. We used to have a ‘golden oldie’ cat called Pebbles, who lived here for many years, until her late teens. She was a lovely old girl and a real […]
We’re trying to save every hedgehog we possibly can, their numbers continue to fall and they are a rare sight nowadays. This one was having an evening stroll through a garden when he was set on by two dogs. He managed to escape with bad injuries, two wounds on his back and another on […]
When a lady living in a village on the outskirts of Chesterfield opened her kitchen door yesterday a very hungry ferret walked in. He was taken to Charlesworth’s vets who kindly checked him over and then, when nobody claimed him, they brought him to us. Ferrets are often let go when their owners no […]
Sparkle is one of the prettiest calico cats we’ve had in recently, she has well defined and deep coloured markings and is a compact and ‘cushion’ shaped adult and very cuddly. She came to us with her friend Sonic and if they could get a home together that would be good. However, Sparkle is […]
It’s hard to give up a cat you’ve had from a kitten and Sonic’s carer found this to be true. Unfortunately the elderly lady who had given Sonic and his friend (called Sparkle) had become too much for her to look after. Health problems had arisen and although these two cats are as good as […]
This year’s kittens have all been exceptionally handsome and have had lovely temperaments. Here are some more who have settled very well and are much loved by the people who’ve adopted them: Just thought you might like to see what good friends Zorro (Chunky) and Treacle (Callie) are. Zorro is extremely patient with feisty little […]
Thanks to everyone who has adopted one of the kittens, they all have found lovely homes. We wait until they are vaccinated and health checked, so they are between nine and twelve weeks old before they can pack their little bags and go off with their new family. This is Mittens, a very pretty calico […]
Rabbits are the most neglected pets in the u.k. and now they are under more threat from a new deadly disease. It’s a viral haemorrhage illness which is a variant of an existing one. The vaccine for the original strain doesn’t offer protection against the new type which can cause sudden death with bleeding. […]
Jet is hanging on and looking much happier today. She’s still weak and feather-light but is eating and really enjoying her food. We’re giving her special sensitive feline pate and she licks the plate clean. She’s also having a few spoonfuls of goat’s milk yoghurt on a saucer alongside her food and she slurps it […]
