On Sunday, I received an urgent call from a concerned cat 😻owner. Their beloved feline friend had sustained serious injuries and was receiving critical treatment at The Veterinary Hospital & Surgery . The situation quickly escalated, necessitating a transfer to a specialist in Fakenham The Grove Veterinary Hospital & Clinics both of these centers have amazing staff.
By Monday, we had arranged the transportation, ensuring the cat was comfortable during the journey to the vet. Just today, we received uplifting news—the owner requested us to collect their furry companion, who was now ready to return home.
After carefully reuniting the cat with its owner, we took a moment to reflect on the journey—a reminder of our commitment to animal care and the importance of timely referrals and out-of-hours services. The joy in the owner’s voice was a testament to why we do what we do. see our website for all our reviews.

The Unseen Burden of Dog Rescues and volunteers getting them rehomed.
Today, I embarked on a long journey — 440 miles and 11.5 hours of driving, with breaks, of course. My destination was not a holiday retreat or a quaint café; rather, I traveled from Dereham to Wisbeach to collect a rescue dog, subsequently delivering it to Wincanton in Somerset. This experience has led me to reflect deeply on the issue of animal welfare and the role of local councils in addressing the growing crisis of abandoned and neglected dogs. (There are a lot)
The Reality of Dog Rescues/pound pullers.
Every day, there are individuals dedicated to the noble cause of rescuing dogs, driven by compassion and a sense of duty. Yet, the stark reality is that many rescue organizations are often overwhelmed by the sheer number of animals requiring help. Upon visiting various rescue shelters, it becomes glaringly clear that these facilities are often at full capacity. As a result, many dogs find themselves at the mercy of dog warden kennels. After a mandatory seven-day hold period, the fate of these dogs hangs precariously in balance—either they can be euthanized or the warden must bear the costs of housing and caring for them until a suitable home is found.
This cost is incurred by the warden.
The Role of Councils
This leads me to a crucial point of contemplation: Should local councils be doing more? It is apparent that relying solely on the goodwill of the public and dedicated volunteers is insufficient. The responsibility for animal welfare should not rest solely on the shoulders of concerned citizens. It's time for councils to step in and take a more proactive role.
Addressing the Root Cause
Local councils can implement awareness campaigns on pet ownership responsibilities, facilitate spaying and neutering programs, and provide support to rescue organizations. Moreover, increased funding for animal shelters and rescues would enable these facilities to accommodate more dogs and reduce
