We’ve had an injured heron brought in today. He’s a beautiful bird, a grey heron which is native in the U.K. He has a bad injury to his leg so we’re not sure that he can be saved. He can stand up but we’ll see what the vet says. The most important thing is […]
Lillie came in to us some months ago. She had been running around on a building site, a stray who was in very poor condition. She’s a young cat and usually they pick up quite quickly. Lillie was pregnant when she came in but her single kitten was born dead. It took a while for […]
The sheep we rescued have proved to be excellent mothers, these are todays new borns and within minutes of the birth she was cleaning them and fussing round them and encouraging them to suckle. These are two little boys and are strong and sturdy,once they find the teats they are away and feed with […]
What a difference a day makes! Our baby hedgehog was barely hanging on yesterday but a heated pad, lots of cuddles and a bottle feed every two hours have done the trick. He’s put on weight and is up and moving around. He doesn’t have his eyes open yet but finds his way your hand […]
This baby hedgehog was found lying out on the grass in a garden, perhaps he’d been left behind when mum moved on or was disturbed. A lot of dogs go after hedgehogs, they seem to have a natural instinct to do it in spite of all the spikes. There was no sign of mum […]
A pair of desirable Degus have been brought in, it’s a sad case where their owner could no longer care for them. They are a pretty colour, both smudgy shades of cream and grey, we’ve called them Silver and Pearl sot that was easy. The’ve been well looked after so far and are tame, you […]
Unless you are convinced the baby bird has been abandoned by his parents or is in imminent danger it’s best to leave the little one where it is. Babies do flutter out of the nest and wait a while to get their feathers and their parents will not come to it while you are around. […]
She’s not curled up which is a bad sign for a hedgehog during daylight hours. These are nocturnal creatures so usually are fast asleep in daytime. She’s a pale coloured girl and we’ve called her Blondie but she is lethargic and we’re worried about her. Blondie had been seen during the day by the […]
The new mum has taken it all in her stride and produced a little son without any trouble. The sheep were destined for slaughter if we hadn’t taken them in so it’s good to know they will now have a long and happy life. Sheep are such placid creatures, inoffensive and gentle. They recognise […]
Finely is still available, the first prospective adopter on our list (we’ve had dozens of enquiries) couldn’t go ahead, so our beautiful Finley is for adoption again. Finley is such a handsome fella, pale apricot with a soft, silky coat, he is very huggable. With a lovely temperament to match, this two year old spaniel […]
