‼️

In the space of three days last week we took in 6 cats who just arrived without notice. No requests, no prior contact. We, like all rescues, are at breaking point with cats and other small animals, both in terms of space and the people who work with them. Please don’t assume you can just turn up with an animal, or that you can tell people you know to do so. It’s not fair on us.

Firstly it’s just common courtesy to ask and secondly we genuinely don’t have any room.

We hear all the excuses. My unneutered cat got out and got pregnant and I don’t want the kittens. My relative died and I don’t want their cat/dog/rabbit. My child is hitting my dog/cat so you have to take the animal for me (yes that was actually what someone said).

Well guess what? We can’t take them all. We’d love it if every animal had the safe loving home they deserve but the reality is you need to step up and do something yourselves. Rescues are not here to clear up your mess. Our priority is the thousands of stray, neglected and abused animals, not your pet that you’re tired of.

Never get a pet on a whim. If you can’t commit to giving that animal 15-20 years, don’t bother. Always neuter, chip and vaccinate.

We will always do our utmost to find a solution but we are not super human. We are run ragged looking after the animals we have. We have our own lives and our own animals outside of the Retreat and yet some of us are working 12, 13, 14 hour days. And we’re tired. Please remember that if we have to say no to you.

🚨FULL🚨

Hi everyone unfortunately we have to close our doors to anymore intakes. :(

We have had 0 successful adoptions and are running at max capacity.

We are super busy with just myself running the rescue now as my partner is ill. I also work full time and do this rescue self funded with some donations that come here and there.

Please bare with us, we try to message as soon as we can.

If you can donate to our operational cost of vet bills and food please PayPal or use our just giving page or if you can offer a product of our Amazon wishlist it is most appreciated.

Thank you x

To feed the animals it cost us on average:

£5 p/m to feed the mice
£10 p/m to feed hamsters
£15 p/m to feed guinea pigs

(This is before cost of bedding, enrichment and any other costs including medical are added).

To help cover feeding costs and keep us sustainable we are launching Sponsorships!!
