It’s been a sad couple of days, first the smallest girl squirrel passed away and then her brother and sister went too. They stopped feeding and simply fell asleep. At first we thought they were getting stronger but suddenly they weakened and it was all over. These little orphans were always on a knife […]
A big thank you to Shirley who is one of our dedicated dog walkers who comes in all weathers to take our canine residents out for exercise and a change of scenery. It helps to socialize them and the feedback on personality and behaviour is always useful. Benni is a little dog who has to […]
Are they looking a bit more like squirrels? Well, they are beginning to be covered in ginger coloured downy fur, they have strong hind legs and a squirrel shaped head. We won’t really recognise them until their eyes open, which won’t be long, they are nearly there. They are still having their two hourly feeds […]
She’s a middle aged lady and deserves a quiet life but it’s recently been all turmoil and trauma for poor Puss Puss. A passerby saw her being rhrown out of an upstairs window of a block of flats. He rushed to the rescue – it was a miracle she survived the fall – but cats […]
Paris was brought in to us when she was about to be made homeless. She is a very pretty silver tabby with the most exquisite features, especially her large expressive eyes.

The squirrel babies are still with us and doing their best to survive. They are feeding well (every two hours) and keeping warm. They have their faces and tummies gently wiped to help stimulate their digestion and mimic the action of their mother licking them. We’ve never reared squirrels as tiny as this before and […]
These three baby squirrels were brought in when the tree that was their home was cut down. The parents ran away and the nest was destroyed. A kind hearted nearby resident saw the little orphans and tucked them up in a shoe box filled with cotton wool until she could get them to us. We’ve […]
We’ve had two injured birds brought in this weekend, the pigeon above was caught in a tree and hanging upside down when he was found. He has an injury to his back, partly healed so he might have been there for some time. He’s a beautiful bird and when he’s had some food and a […]
Sister cats, Cinders and Dusky Maid were re-homed recently and it’s so good to hear that they have settled and are doing well. Here’s what their new adopters have to say about them: “Hi I just thought I’d let you know that Cinders & Dusky Maid have settled in really well and are enjoying being […]
