Rufus has lots of sores and eruptions under his thick coat. The worst is an abscess on his back which has now, thankfully, burst. He feels much better now. We’re still bathing it but can tell that it is healing. We’ve decided to clip him so he’ll feel better all over. It’s much easier to […]
Re- homed – thank you so much. This young cat was brought in a couple of days ago and has already used up some of her nine lives. First of all she was about to drowned, together with her brother, by her owner who didn’t want them. A kind lady who heard about this rescued […]
This is what his feet were like when he first came in. They are looking a lot better now. The blacksmith has been coming to trim them a little bit at a time and it’s gradually getting them back in to shape. The problem is that, after so many years of confinement, his legs have […]
Isn’t she beautiful? This little dove was brought in yesterday. She has an injured wing and can’t fly. We’ve made her a cosy nest and she’s snuggled down and survived the night. The first 24 hours are always critical. She’s looking good now though and is eating. She’ll stand up and walk round when she […]
Rufus is safe now, rugged up and warm. The long process of his recovery has begun. It’s sad to think of all the years he was neglected – not because his owner didn’t love him but because she had dementia. The vet was called and then refused admittance. The blacksmith was sent for and then […]
Rufus finds a friend. Rufus was a prisoner in his stable for many years. He’s approx. 18 years old now and we don’t exactly know how long ago that his owner started to neglect him because of her dementia. He had a sad and lonely life full of pain and misery which is why he […]
Rufus is the smallest pony in the sanctuary, he measure barely 26inches, not as tall as some of the dogs. Although so tiny, he is full of character and is a loving, gentle little pony – we are desperate to save him and ensure his future. Rufus definitely has the will to live but he […]
Tina is a lovely red tabby lady cat who has been well cared for all her life. We think she’s late middle aged at present. Her owner can no longer look after her any more and so Tina is looking for a new home – she is a fireside cat who isn’t used to going […]
Pusscat went to the vets last week (thanks for taking her Geoff so now she’s been vaccinated and has had a health check. We’ve been told she is middle aged and is fine with no health problems. Her sore places are healing well, her whiskers will surely grow back given time. She’s a lovely cat, […]
Wishing you Happiness for the Chinese New Year which starts today – it’s the Year of the Goat. Here’s hoping it will bring more kindness and compassion to these often cruelly treated animals. It’s still legal to ritually slaughter them in the U.K. and this is how they are killed throughout much of the world. […]
