Hi everyone, we’ve had a quiet few weeks after our holidays. Getting ready now for our lovely visitors that we will be welcoming over Christmas and New Year. We made a couple of changes and we have our own new arrivals, who have settled in brilliantly. We have our two rescue kittens that are already big cats and our rescue puppy that’s bringing new joy after losing Buddy.
Take care everyone 💕💙🐢🐰🦎🐹🦔

Liz was busy at Church Town Christmas fair today with Janet, Celia, Angie, Leah, James, Marian, Kim and Bev helping to raise funds and awareness for the work we do at the centre.

Whilst they are out we are back at the centre looking after all our animals all requiring individual care and support.

This is the first of sixteen events organised by Liz and her team of volunteers for Christmas and she could do with some help. If you can give two four hour spells to help her this December please comment below 🙏

Is that the Naughty Elf hiding?!

Please do not dispose of your pumpkins in the woods, pumpkins are a natural laxative and can cause severe problems to wildlife 💙💕

🐾 URGENT APPEAL 🐾

As we're feeling the effects of a busy kitten season, we're finding that our supply of crates is quickly diminishing and/or becoming unfit for purpose (due to wear and tear). These crates are useful for us, as we are finding that more and more kittens are coming to our care in a nervous and shy state. These crates provide them with the safety and security that they need whilst they build up their confidence.

We need your help! Do you have a large or extra-large dog crate that you no longer need? We only need these sizes and we'd appreciate any donations that are received. Our only requirement is that the crates are rust-free and in good condition.

If you do, please send us a message with clear photos of the crates as some are more suitable than others!

Many thanks in advance ❤

Hi everyone, at this moment I just want to make everyone aware of this new strain of RVHD, we have no instructions on how to deal with this from a boarding perspective at present. Please be aware that this is out there. As usual we will ensure the best hygiene levels, unfortunately though due to how this can be transmitted via air, insects and transmission from an infected rabbit, or on your person, we cannot completely guarantee the safety of rabbits at this time.
Anyone who currently has rabbits booked in who would rather they no longer board, please contact me directly.
This is a developing situation, I will keep everyone updated as new information arises.

In light of recent comments online, it is clear that some of you have lost rabbits to RVHD2, some of which may be from the new, highly virulent strain. As this means that the current vaccine has not offered protection, reporting it will assist the regulatory authorities in allowing in vaccines that....

Wow, we had a very busy summer with some gorgeous visitors. We had lots of tortoises this year which was lovely all with their different needs and personalities. Lovely rabbit and guinea visitors, bearded dragons, geckos, hamsters and a chinchilla.

We are very close to our capacity for Christmas and New year, please get in touch if you are thinking of needing boarding over this period as soon as you can.

A quick reminder of the the upcoming small price increase from October bookings and also our closure from the 11th-20th of November.

If anyone is in a position to support the go fund me for the injured bunnies that would be amazing.

Hope everyone has had a wonderful summer despite the changeable weather, we are looking forward to seeing everyone again soon 💕🐰🐇🐢🐓🐹🦔🦎💙

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated to help the injured rabbits so far.

Your support means so much and I’m very grateful.

If you would like to support this fundraiser please use the link below and thank you so very much.

I am not publishing photos of the injuries as they are upsetting for some people.

The bunnies are all now on the mend and getting excellent aftercare from their owners and settling back at home and starting to feel safe and secure once again.

Hi, if anyone is looking into getting bunnies, a customer of mine needs to rehome her two boys, they have been house rabbits but at this time of year could transition to being outside rabbits.
They are both neutered and bonded and are lovely natured rabbits.
If anyone is interested please contact me 💕🐰💙
