Little Paws Ferret Rescue

11/01/2026

It was a cold one today on the walk for the few of us who made it (well done guys for braving) at Lyons Country Park. We very much appreciated the cafe!

Gidget today. She had a little potter on the snowy grass before needing a cuddle! Sorry I didn’t manage to get photos of the others today.

Good morning. The walk today will go ahead as planned. It will likely be a little potter and then some time to shelter in the visitors centre / cafe to warm up :)

Please wrap up warm if you are coming!

Milo & Amara

The marvellous Milo and angelic Amara have come to mine for a little foster holiday. This beautiful pair are looking for their forever home and are ready for adoption. They are both approximately 4 years old and are a nice chilled and mature duo.

More on these two in a few weeks. If you are interested in adopting Milo & Amara or any others in rescue please comment and send us a message through our inbox.

We are forecast some snow and possible strong winds tomorrow. I’ve checked two different forecasts and they are saying different things.

I will put a post out tomorrow morning to confirm if the walk will be going ahead or not 🙂

As predicted it was a little wet on the walk at Wharton Park today. The rainy weather was embraced by some who took it in their stride, others were less impressed!

Some photos of Geronimo & Cody and a beautiful chap whose name evades me. I was unsuccessful in getting photos of the others which is nothing new as they are hard to capture without the blur!

The weather is a little damp today. We will still meet for the walk at Wharton Park but may do more of just a meet up & a drink / snack in the cafe.

Wrap up warm if you are coming along 🙂

Lainey is a sweet little soul who has finally been lucky enough to find her forever home. We don’t know where her life started but she was found straying like many others and found herself in rescue. She is such a timid little soul, very easily spooked and I sometimes wonder may actually be scared of her own shadow. She is still scared to be picked up unless you are down on her level. Today some magic happened and she settled on my lap for a very long and chilled out cuddle and it was wonderful to see her starting to feel safe.

There are many ferrets out looking for love and care, some like Lainey that need that extra bit of time and love, and some others bursting at the seams with bounce and energy.

Could you offer your home to some of these fabulous creatures? Please drop us a message through our inbox if so.

Here is Lainey looking beautiful (I think so but I am biased).

Just a few of us on the walk today at Bolam Lake but I must say the weather was beautiful for this time of year. Arnold, Queenie & Philbert loved all of the autumn leaves, digging in the soil and under the logs. ☀️ 🍂

Just a gentle reminder that we have our next walk on Sunday 2nd November at Bolam Lake 😄.
