Can you help Prof Daniel Mills of Lincoln University with this research into Separation Related Disorders in dogs? If you have a dog that currently, or historically has experienced separation problems do complete the survey..

Just like facial expressions, learning to read a dog's body language is essential to living harmoniously with them and "hearing" what they say. ​

Thank you to the late Dr Sophia Yin for this great graphic.

⚠️ 🦌 This weekend has been very busy with calls to injured deer, with four calls to the Duty Ranger in the last 24 hours alone.

The deer are already starting their annual move to their traditional rutting sites, so please drive carefully and anticipate that deer could appear at any moment. Deer are crepuscular, meaning they're most active at dawn and dusk, but they move throughout the day and night so vigilance is advised at all times.

What to do if you hit or see an injured/dead deer:

- If the deer is alive and either in the road or could go back onto the road, please call 999 and ask for the Police. Sussex Police co-ordinate the deer warden scheme, so by calling 999, the Police will despatch the closest warden.

- If the deer is alive but injured and unlikely to go back into the road, please call 101 and police will contact the closest deer warden.

- If the deer is dead but causing a road obstruction, also call 999.

- If the deer is dead but not in the carriageway, please contact Wealden District Council for collection: https://www.wealden.gov.uk/recycling-and-waste/dead-animals/

Movement of deer will increase over the next couple of months so please take care on the roads.

Can you help the RSPCA by offering an 'alternative' home for an 'inbetweener' cat?

We are looking for alternative cat homes for 'feral' and 'inbetweener' cats. Can you help?

'Inbetweeners' are defined as cats that have previously lived unsuccessfully as pets, because they are uncomfortable with the close proximity of people.
So what is an alternative cat home?
An alternative lifestyle cat home would be, for example, free-roaming where there is food and shelter and a person to provide care from a distance. This can be done in many different environments, eg, within large gardens, hotels, stables and farms.
Our 'inbetweeners' require food and water and shelter that is dry and draught-free. They need somewhere to toilet and unrestricted access outdoors (once settled). They will usually stay away from people but, if they don’t feel under pressure, some will start to feel comfortable and may even visit the caregiver’s home.

If you feel you can offer a cat an alternative home please email us at [email protected] or if you have any questions please pop them below 🐈
