They’ve found lovely homes – thank you. Ella and Evie are almost identical twins. This is Ella who has slightly more creamy coloured markings. It is very hard to tell them apart though. Tortoiseshell cats are always female so their was no problem telling the sex of these little girls. Evie, shown above, has darker […]
We’ve had so many cats brought in recently that it’s been difficult to cope with feeding them all but thanks to our wonderful Pet Samaritan supporters the pouches have kept coming in and no one has gone hungry. Thank you also for all the other goodies that appear in Reception, if we’re not around to […]
Hedgehogs are nocturnal and sleep during the day. they come awake at dusk and that’s when they set off to find food. When you see a hedgehog wandering about in daylight hours it will almost certainly be unwell. They very rarely walk about during the day if they are alright. The young hedgehog brought in […]
This is Peanuts who was taken in to the vets to be put to sleep as she could not be housed any longer. Her owner had been forced to move and could not take the cat. Thankfully Carrick vets alerted us and we took her in – thanks to them for saving this lovely girl. […]
Gretel is just over 9 weeks old and about to go for a health check at the vets and to have her first vaccination. She is a sweet little kitten with a loving nature, although she eats well and likes to play with her sisters, she is still a mummy’s girl. Twinkle, the mother of […]
It was great to welcome the Youth Volunteer Group NCS to the sanctuary last week – not as visitors – but to help us out. This is an opportunity open to all 16 and 17 year olds to help in the community, take on new challenges and make new friends. They did a tremendous amount […]
Davidjason is one of the sweetest cats we’ve had brought in. He has a gentle and loving personality and the most soulful amber eyes ever. He came in because of a domestic crisis and there were tears when he was given up. He’d been with his owner from a kitten. David is a quiet cat […]
Even though it’s summer and the weather is warm, it’s still a bit chilly for an old lady cat who has just had all her hair shaved off. This pretty little frock was knitted for us by a volunteer (thanks Jeanette) and fits Pebbles perfectly. She loves wearing it and must feel comforted and much […]
Although I was told this is a baby pigeon when he was brought in, I’m still not entirely convinced. He’s quite big for a baby bird, although very immature still. He gets stronger by the day though and yesterday was a break through – he opened his beak to be fed for the first time. […]
It isn’t often that the vet rings us – we’re the ones who are usually on the ‘phone asking for help. When they found a cat box on their doorstep with an elderly cat inside, they needed to find a home and rang us to find out if we could help. There was a note […]
