This poorly cat was brought in yesterday, she’d been living as a stray and was too weak to keep going any longer. She’s only a little cat, very thin and frail and hungry, wolfing her food down in big gulps. We can’t give her too much at once as she is emaciated so it’s little […]
Here in the sanctuary we spend our lives, not just looking after dogs, but studying them as well. There’s no doubt that our canines pals are obsessed with food, it motivates them and they spend a lot of time thinking about it. If dogs are fed something they don’t much like (such as dry complete) […]
We usually find them in a box left at the gate, or else they’ve been found under a garden shed, we get semi-feral kittens brought in all through the summer. They are little spitfires at first.

We check every dog or cat brought in to us to see if her or she has a microchip. It’s compulsory for dogs to be chipped, not so for cats. However, sometimes we can’t find the chip in the usual place, the back of the neck. It’s not safe to assume that the dog hasn’t […]
