All kittens have blue eyes when they are born, their eyes open between a week and two weeks old. By about a month the colour has usually settled but it may intensify as time goes on. This kitten is six weeks old so we would expect the colour to be determined by now. […]
When we rescued some sheep earlier this year we thought they might be pregnant ladies and sure enough one of them gave birth to a lamb this morning. She’s a sweet little girl and mother and daughter are doing well. Mum seemed to know what she was doing and was licking and fussing her baby […]
Tinker is settling now, he’s had some breakfast and likes meat with jelly. Everything is new to him after seven years with the lovely lady who took him in. It’s sad that she can’t care for him any more. Maine Coone’s are especially sensitive cats, they are very loving when you get to know them […]
Lillie and Frankie (both girls) were brought in several months ago. Their owner had passed away and the family were unable to care for them. They were thin and bewildered at what had happened in their lives but they have settled down well, filled out and are lovely little girls. It’s difficult to tell them […]
Tinker has spent the last seven years of his life living with an elderly lady, it’s been just the two of them and he has been a devoted companion. It’s sad that she now has to go in to hospital and so this lovely Maine Coone boycot has come to live with us. It’s a […]
Our first field shelter is built, just a bit more finishing off but it’s ready for use and a huge thank you to everyone who has helped. It will make such a difference to our ponies who can now find shelter from all weathers without having to be shut in a stable. The goats like […]
Our Parson Jack Russell is doing well. He’s settled down and is a good little dog, always pleasant and happy to go along with whatever we’re doing. He went out to the park today with one of our volunteers (thanks Geoff) – he likes going in the car and somewhere new. We didn’t know […]
He can’t fly yet and Victor the crow hasn’t been out of the nest for long. He was handed in to Ark Vets at Dronfield who kindly brought him in to us. Victor was shocked at first and a heated pad helped him to recover, he is eating well which is a good sign. […]
She could almost be a twin of Millie, we have two pure white staffs, both in as strays who weren’t claimed and both are lovely gentle and friendly dogs. Bella always has a smile on her face, she is a people pleaser who is sociable with everyone. She loves to give you a paw! […]
Mr. Big is a very handsome tabby cat with a lovely laid back personality. He was brought in by his elderly owner who was moving house and unable to take him with her. He’d had a sedentary life and was seriously overweight so the past few months have been devoted to slimming him down. It […]
