Lottie, this beautiful and loving cat , was brought to us by a friend of the charity after being found dumped at the side of a road. She has recently given birth to kittens before she arrived which is probably why she was dumped. Although we don’t usually take in cats, she desperately needed some where to stay until a good home can be found. Lottie is a really affectionate cat and will be neutered before rehoming.
These young hedgehogs or hoglets as they are known, were found wandering in the daytime. Hedgehogs are nocturnal so a hog out in the daytime is usually a sign that something is wrong. These two are weaned off their mother but are too small for this time of year. They need to be above 500 grams…

One of our largest bills used to be hay, which is why we now produce our own on one of the fields donated to the charity. However, as we don’t have anywhere to store it, we have to wrap the hay to save it from the elements. The wrapping not only increases our costs, but…
You may remember that back in May we rescued 4 fox cubs. They had been found cuddling their dead mother. Had they not been found, they would have certainly perished. The great news it that these four siblings have been successfully hand reared by us and are now wild, living in the countryside enjoying life….
