Such lazy ratties!:o

Meet Bruno(grey and white), Sam(naked black eyes), Dean(naked red eyes), Shreder(naked small), Coco(white) and Charcoal(white patchy fur).

All of these boys are such a delight. They are all such well natured boys. They can be lazy at times - very lazy!! You'll normally notice them all in a hammock together snuggling away with one another. We think Bruno is the boss rat of the group - but he is a very relaxed ratty boss.

You'll notice some of them have pretty patchy fur; it makes them look half bald. They seem in good shape and nourished; so the patchiness could be caused by them being crossed bred by rats with fur and naked rats!

We would like to rehome these boys as a group of six, or a group of three. If you'd be interested, please fill in an online application here!: https://www.assisi-ni.org/animals/bruno-sam-dean-shreder-coco-charcoal/

❗Donation appeal❗

Due to the sudden colder weather - we are using a lot more blankets than usual. Due to that, we are now going through quite a lot of washing! We are getting extremely low in washing tablets and washing powder. Any donations of these items would be greatly appreciated from staff and animals alike!

Our opening times for donations are from 9am - 4pm. Thank you very much!!🐇🐕‍🦺🐈🐭🐹

Such sweet boys!! 🥰

Meet Pip and Squeak - a pair of degus! Degus are wonderful animals; so well natured and friendly. These boys are no exception. Though they look quite alike, there are an easy way to tell them apart form the other. Pip is the smaller of the pair, and Squeak is the larger one!

Both boys are so sweet with one another - always snuggling together. We've found that Pip is the more confident one and Squeak would be the shyer one, but he is still very confident!

They've both been in our care for a good few months now. Since then - they have really settled and and gotten really confident. They are super inquisitive boys and love their sand bath!!

If you'd be interested in adopting these boys, please put in an online application form here!: https://www.assisi-ni.org/animals/pip-squeak/

🌈Bella🌈

Last month we had a very hard day for staff as one of our long term cats sadly had to go over the rainbow bridge 😓

Bella was an Ex-Assisi cat who came into our care in early 2023. When she first came in, she was around 10kg and was immediately put on a diet (much to her dismay!). Bella did amazing despite her not being happy about being on a diet, and managed to hit her target weight of around 6kg! She was a bit off a sassy girl, but she quickly became a favourite among all the staff who worked with her. She would always say hello whenever you came to see her and would always rub around your legs to show you she loved you. She loved us the most when we gave her dreamies, and she would love to chase a feather wand around 💕

On New Years Day 2024, while most of us were catching up on our sleep from partying the night before, our Bella fell sick and had to be rushed to the emergency vets. They found that she had a tumour in her intestine. We weren’t ready to let Bella go, and we also knew that Bella herself wasn’t ready. We got her back to the sanctuary and began her treatment. She would always take her medication, and responded extremely well. She even got to go to a foster home, where she made sure she was the boss of the house! Bella was doing really well and proving us all wrong! 😻

However, on the 2nd October, staff noticed that Bella didn’t seem well again. She was taken to the vets, and after investigation, it was found that Bella’s tumour had increased in size, and was starting to affect her quality of life. The decision was made to let Bella go to sleep peacefully. She had lots of her favourite people around her as she crossed the rainbow bridge, and her memory will always live on in every single person she met💞

We know that Bella is looking down on us, and she will always be thankful for the staff and volunteers who looked after her, and loved her, while she was here. Rest in Peace Bella ❤🌈

Bella is a 9 year old torby who is known for two things: being affectionate, and letting you know when she wants affection! Staff can't understand why Bella is still here- she is a confident girl who would make a great addition to any family! All Bella wants is a home where she can sit on someone's lap and get all the pets in the world! Here's a video of Bella getting some of her much loved pets and hoping that her future family gets in touch soon! https://www.assisi-ni.org/animals/bella-2/

Assisi dog Reunion raffle draw

Fancy dress competition winner

Have you ever seen cuter buns?🥹 These four have only arrived into our care a few days ago, and have already stolen our hearts. They are full of beans and do endless laps around their run... until they get tuckered out and fall asleep in a bunny pile. Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Galaxy won't be ready to go home for a bit - but if you'd still like to enquire about them, then send us an email at [email protected] 🐇🐇🐇🐇
