A comfy bed, a good night’s sleep and what a difference a day makes. Pusscat enjoyed her fishy breakfast and is settling well. This timid little cat who was hiding and cringing when she first saw us is coming out of her nest and saying ‘hi folks’ straight away. She is a sweet and affectionate […]
This pretty little cat came in because her elderly owner could no longer care for her. Ill health of owners often means that the pets are neglected, it’s a problem and we are seeing more and more cats and dogs in this state. Pusscat is quite thin and was covered in fleas (we treated her […]
Although it is mostly a condition of elderly dogs, many younger ones can suffer the pain of arthritis. Damage, injury and wear and tear can all contribute to joint damage – dogs can’t tell us when it hurts and this is the problem. Monitoring your dog and ‘reading’ the signs is essential. It’s not always […]
This fine looking cockerel was brought in to us on Valentine’s Day – so naming him was easy. He’d been abandoned on playing fields and a young boy found him and took him home. Valentine was well cared for and soon grew up and then the problems started. He began to crow and the neighbours […]
Holly was a wreck when she first came in to the sanctuary – and just look at her now! She has a family who adore her and has become best friends with the dog they already have. Could anything be better? It’s so good to have this update, we like to keep in touch with […]
Rosebud was born last year, the smallest kitten in a litter of six. She was always tiny and dainty and had to go for her vaccination a bit later than the rest – it all depends on body weight. She did have her vaccinations eventually but then the bad news. Rosebud had a serious heart […]
This injured duck has been stuck down a drain for three weeks and is lucky to be alive. He was seen at the beginning of January by a man walking his dog, but fluttered away and dived down an open drain. A search proved fruitless, the duck was nowhere to be seen. It seemed likely […]
It’s a year since we took in Holly, an elderly pony with arthiritis. She wasn’t a sweet old lady though, Holly had an attitude problem and was a grumpy pony, she’d give a sharp nip if you weren’t watching out. Over the months Holly has been transformed, her health improved, aches and pains have gone […]
Although Tina, who came in recently with her sister, has a small pretty face, she has a big body and is overweight. Too long being a couch potato before she came here perhaps. Both of these sisters were indoor cats and this can make the problem worse. They eat and sleep and have a fuss […]
Winter is always a difficult time, all the animals are even more hungry. Ponies and goats need hay ad lib, then there’s straw to buy and wood shavings for bedding. Can you help us feed the ponies? We’ve almost run out of hay and need to buy another load next week at the latest. We […]
