Pebbles, who is one of our ‘golden oldie’ residents, is enjoying the pate brought in by one of our kind pet samaritans. Pebbles is a food fusspot and only the tastiest and best will do. A big thank you from all of us for all the goodies you bring to help the animals – food, […]
A large adult hedgehog was brought in yesterday. He’d been found wandering about and dragging a hind leg. It was obvious that he was badly injured, hedgehogs are normally asleep during the day so if they are out and about there is something wrong. He is a fine hedgehog, fat and in good condition but […]
How is this for an enterprising kitten! This picture of kittens who help themselves to milk was sent in to us by goat breeders who put the ‘milk bar’ out for the goat kids to have a drink whenever they like. It’s a useful way to rear goat kids when there are more than one […]
Krystal has never been the same since she was attacked and blinded. Her right eye had to be removed when her skull was fractured. This lovely gentle pony has been nervous since she lost her eye – she has had to leave a sheltered life. More recently she has developed Cushing’s disease and been […]
Re-homed – a happy ending – thank you. What a lovely face. Isn’t she a beauty! Tiggy came in yesterday because her owner has serious health problems and can’t look after her any more. He’s had her from a kitten and she’s now four year old so it was an upsetting decision to give her […]
We had this beautiful golden pheasant brought in earlier in the year. At first he was skittish and likes to hide out in a patch of nettles but gradually he’s settled down, made friends with Noel the turkey and become quite tame. He is such a handsome bird with the most brilliant colours – a […]
An article in the Derbyshire Times last week brought a great response to our Cats in Crisis appeal. We’ve had food brought in for the cats (Pebbles loves her trays and pouches) and have been able to re-home many of our cats and kittens. Thank you to everyone who has helped especially the real Pet […]
Hard to believe he’s the same bird! Still doesn’t look like a pigeon though, his beak is wide and flat, his wings are as big as an adult bird already. They have a broad white bar of feathers across them. I’ve called him Squabbie, he’s a plump bird, not the prettiest but his lovely nature […]
Last night two badger cubs came snuffling round our yard, looking for left over dog food. It was magical to see them. Sometimes on the lane in the very early morning we see an adult strolling along, dad maybe. Our badgers are safe unlike the poor creatures who are now being killed – the badger […]
Tupac is now called Sooty – a much more people friendly name. He has found a wonderful home on a farm where he is much loved. Thank you to the lovely family who gave this cat a happy ending. Tupac is available for adoption and he’s one of the nicest cats you could ever meet. […]
