When we were contacted by Derwent Vets to ask if they could bring a bat in to us we were prepared for one a lot bigger than this tiny tot. This baby bat was found out in the open and taken in to the vet when the mother or roost couldn’t be found. A bat […]
It’s all about saving wildlife – and the only way to do it say experts in Australia and New Zealand is by culling the feral cat population. Cats are not native to either country but were introduced by settlers several hundred years ago. The climate, terrain and food suits them so much that their numbers […]
The baby hedgehog we rescued a few weeks ago is doing well and growing up fast. Solo was barely hanging on when she came in (yes, a girl not a boy) but keeping her warm and bottle feeding every two hours did the trick and she’s now well on the road to recovery. Solo had […]
Mr. Beau R.I.P. Mr. Beau was adopted from the sanctuary in 2011. He had a wonderfully happy life with a family who adored him. This is what they told us: We adopted a rottie x labrador of approximately two years of age from you in 2011. We changed his name from Rocky to Beau, […]
It’s very sad to have to say a sad goodbye to a much loved pet. We recently learned that the handsome rottweiler/labrador we rehomed in 2011 had passed away. Our consolation is that Mr. Beau went to a lovely family and had such a happy life. They are heartbroken to lose him. Here’s what they […]
It’s been a busy week as usual and here are your Monday morning updates. We’ve had young hedgehogs brought in almost every day and they are all doing well. Once we rehydrate them and feed them and medicate if needed they soon pick up. Even the little girl who was injured and full of maggots […]
She’s a beautiful female cat and this is unusual as most ginger cats are boys. She’s three years old and went missing a few days ago, her owners are very worried. It will be easy to identify her as she’s microchipped so hopefully she will soon be found and reunited with her family. If you […]
When her owner passed away suddenly, Little Suzie was left bereaved and home alone.. It’s difficult for any pet when their companion and carer is no longer there…. and then moving home, new people …. and moving on again …. and everything and everyone who is familiar has suddenly gone. We were alerted to Little […]
This young lady cat was brought in because of a domestic emergency – she’s pretty and ‘purrrfect’ but she could no longer be kept and there was no one to take her. When cats come in we don’t know at first what sort of temperament they have, some are shy, others can be feisty because […]
The injured baby hedgehog is still with us. She’s a fighter and in spite of her wounds she is eating and trying to stand up. She’s breathing better and has her colour back. Her mouth was very pale yesterday. Her injuries are old ones and full of maggots, we flushed most of them out with […]
