🌞 Sunny Season Plea 🌞

The Sunny Season is a huge strain on so many resources. Historically we have seen animal numbers increase across all our animal sections. Kitten season tends to run from May-Oct and this means we regularly have multiple mums and kittens throughout this time.

We launched the Sunny Season Plea (SSP) to help raise funds needed primarily to help with the medical costs, but also the increase in food costs, cat litter, cleaning supplies and additional staff.

All donations along with items donated via our Wishlist's are a tremendous support.

https://easydonate.org/SSP24 *

* Fundraising, payments and donations will be processed and administered by the National Funding Scheme (Charity No: 1149800), operating as DONATE. Texts will be charged at your standard network rate. For Terms & Conditions, see www.easydonate.org

Summer has arrived, yet the hot weather, grass seeds, heatstroke, blue-green algae, and bee stings can all prevent you and your dog from enjoying it.

Remember, if it’s too hot for your hands or your bare feet, then it’s too hot for their paw pads! ⚠️

If you’re unsure whether it’s okay to let your pet go for a walk on pavements, a simple way to test the temperature is by holding your bare skin on the tarmac for five seconds ⏱️

If you find it painful, then your pet will find it painful to walk on!

To protect your pet, it’s best to avoid walks during the hottest part of the day, which is usually between 8am and 6pm. If you can't safely exercise your dog, missing a day won't hurt.

Eleven year old Toby is a real cutie.
He can be shy initially but does enjoy a fuss and spending time with people.
If he gets anxious he can over groom so a quiet household is best suited for him.

CAN YOU HELP??

We have over 100 cats and kittens currently on site here at Woodside and that means our supplies of certain items such as wood based cat litter are almost out.

Room for two? Then Sorella and Subaru could be your purrfect companions. These sweet, friendly cats will steal your heart and, quite possibly, your bed!
Despite being good with cats, dogs and children aged 5+, Sorella and Subaru have been overlooked again and again.
Subaru is an 8 year old black and white neutered male and Sorella is a 9 year old black short haired female.
Sadly they had to be given up by their previous owner due to allergies. They are indoor cats who love attention and food, and need to be homed together.

Dot needs a home where she will have a lot of human interaction as well as enrichments.
She has proved to be very dominant with previous partner attempts, but we believe her right match is out there. We would look at completing the bonding process here at Woodside.
A sweet girl who can initially be shy. She loves to have fruit and vegetables.
So if you’re looking for a bunny friend for a neutered male rabbit you have, Dot could be perfect 🤍🖤
