We’re off to the vets surgery today and urgently need help with vet fees. We’ve struggled to keep up with vet costs recently, cats and dogs who have come in with health problems and now we have so many kittens to be vaccinated. We have the first injections given at nine weeks old so long as […]
What do you do when difficult domestic circumstances make it impossible for you to keep your cats? This is what happened to the family of these beautiful Snowshoe Cats – fortunately when they contacted us having tried just about everywhere, we just had room to take them in. They are beautiful cats, a full pedigree […]
Pygmy hedgehogs – it was a domestic emergency and a new home had to be found straight away for four African Pygmy Hedgehogs. We were delighted to be able to step in and provide sanctuary for them. We’ve not had these, still quite rare, domesticated hedgehogs before so it’s giving us a chance to get to know […]

He has been neutered and micro chipped. REWARD ON SAFE RETURN – please contact Pet Samaritans in first instance and we’ll […]

Sadly, this isn’t the heron we rescued, it’s what we would have wished for him. Our bird was humanely euthanised, he’d been shot and the leg couldn’t be saved. We did the kindest thing for him and put him out of his misery. Thanks to the man who found him in the reeds and brought […]
Most cats love eating a fishy dinner, gentle poached in a bit of milk, it’s delicious, soft and slips down easily. Tinker, a recent resident, would have a saucer of fish bits every day if he could. It’s a natural food after all, what could be wrong with that? In moderation, fish is fine for […]
He’s a beautiful bird but it’s touch and go whether this heron will make it. He has what looks like a break on the middle of his leg and he can’t put weight on it. The other leg is fine and he can stand up alright. He’s a grey heron, a species that is […]
