A precious soul left this world today… Our darling little Nutsy.

This pure and innocent little angel didn’t have a mean bone in her body, despite the sadistic cruelty she endured in her life before rescue. She was the embodiment of all things good and sweet.

A few natural branches, wet Lilly Pilly and some apple is all it took to make her content 🌿❤️‍🩹 Her feathers never regrew but she was beautiful regardless.

After some time, Nutsy joined our other lorikeets in the aviary and was able to fly, possibly for the first time in her life. From that time on, she was so happy, dancing and bobbing at every ‘hello baby’. The joy on her little face was so beautiful 🥲

Nutsy’s favourite things were bird baths, gentle showers, grapes, Pink Lady apples and being talked to lovingly. I’m so glad her last year was full of everything she loved.
⛲️🍇🍎🌿💦🚿

She brought us so much joy in her short time here at the sanctuary. It was an honour to know her and care for her. The guilt of not knowing what the hell happened is hard to bear. She was so healthy, energetic, a perfect weight. My heart is shattered and I have no answers. I can’t believe I won’t see her sweet little face in the morning.

Fly free my little darling, until we’re together again 💔🌈

❤️‍🩹 Update on Gabriel ❤️‍🩹
The blind Miniature Poodle puppy 🐕‍🦺

For those who don’t remember, we rescued sweet little Gabriel back in March ‘23, from a breeder who was threatening to put him down at only 5 weeks old, just for being born without eyes.

Getting him through the sudden change of being ripped away from his litter and mummy, without weaning, was quite a challenge. In the months following, he was always very scrawny and never that interested in eating, but, he beat all the challenges he faced and became a confident and happy little man in care.

Despite this, we had a little nagging feeling that he wasn’t ready for adoption and needed to stay in our care…

Well, boy were we right. The week before his 1st birthday, he suffered his first seizure. It was such an awful shock to wake in the middle of the night to find his little limp body violently seizing.

Countless tests and thousands of dollars later, we still had no real answers but a lot ruled out. His diagnosis…

Idiopathic epilepsy (or epilepsy with no known cause)

Under the loving care of SASH Neurologist Laura, this past year has been spent trialing almost every single medication known to treat epilepsy, and every safe combination of those medications, praying that the next cocktail of drugs would lessen the frequency of his seizures.

Currently, Gabriel has been having one seizure a week. He’s in the process of weaning off Zonisamide, which had side effects we didn’t like, and has commenced the newest drug we’re trialling, Keppra (in addition to his base Phenobarbital). It’s now 15 days since his last seizure, so once again, we have hope ❤️‍🩹

Despite every challenge this beautiful boy has had to endure, he is somehow still such a happy, playful and confident little man. He’s living proof that our disabilities do not define us.

Gabe recently celebrated his 2nd birthday! He got a new toy, was treated to all his favourite foods and was doted on, somehow, even more than usual haha

If you would like to support Gabe’s ongoing expenses and/or assist us with the massive bills we have yet to pay off from his MRI, CT scans, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) collection (ie spinal tap/lumbar puncture) and ongoing necessary blood tests, please see our donation details below. As always, we are an ACNC registered charity, every donation over $2 is tax deductible in Australia 🙏🏼

Thank you so much to Animal Rescue Cooperative (ARC) for this incredible donation of much needed items for our sanctuary animals!

Without their help with cat and dog food, kitty litter and beds, we simply could not continue to rescue vulnerable animals in need ❤️ We are so incredibly grateful!
