Looking After Animals In Kent

Pet of the moment is where we are going to choose an animal or a group of animals from all our four different categories to help them find new loving homes

 

Cats    

Rabbits    

Guinea Pigs  

Rodents & Other Pets    

 

These animals will be chosen for a number of reasons:-

 

They might have been with us a while 

Being overlooked 

Dislike of being in a rescue environment  

or we just think they deserve that new forever home 

 

Could you give these furbabies a new loving forever home?

 

 

Can anyone offer Joy a home?

She has been with us since January, she was brought in by a member of the public who had seen her straying for several months and she had gradually got thinner and when we had bad snow the lady brought her to us as couldn’t bare her being out in the freezing cold. Joy isn’t going to be the easiest cat to home, firstly she is approx 4-5 years old and most people want to adopt kittens or cats under the age of three. Secondly she is quite an independent cat, where she has had to fend for herself for so long she likes her own space, although she does like fuss and attention she just doesn’t want to be mollycoddled. Thirdly she can be shy with new people and hide away when people come to view. Joy is a chunky, black and white, female, approx 4-5 years old and is a short haired cat.

 

She is fully vaccinated, neutered, micro chipped, wormed and de-flead.

We ask for a minimum donation of £65 per cat

Micky and Marlo

Micky and Marlo are farther and son who are looking for a new home together. This pair are looking for a special, loving forever home as neither have had a great life. Micky came in with his partner Minnie and three babies. These babies were only three weeks old and were Minnie’s second litter one after another, on examination it was obvious that Minnie was due to give birth very shortly and because Micky and Minnie were very close we neutered him straight away so he could stay with Minnie. Just over a week after they had come into us Minnie gave birth to another 4 babies, the strain of raising them obviously proved too much and when the babies were just 3 weeks old Minnie passed away. Micky took the roll on to bring up his babies with us supplementing their feeds. Unfortunately one of the female babies had a mini stroke and recovered, but one male had a severe stroke and passed away. Mickey is very attached to his son and would like them to be homed together. Mickey is a black and white, medium sized, mixed breed, he is very friendly and likes a fuss, he was born in January 2009. Marlo is going to be a medium sized, mixed breed, who is white with black markings, he was born on 22/08/09 he is a little nervous and needs more handling. Marlo will need to be neutered when his 6 months old to prevent him from fighting with his dad. Both rabbits are vaccinated against Myxi and Hvd.

Mice

We have had two large groups of Fancy mice that have been admitted into our care and we now have over 120 in our centre. we have homed many of the mice but still have approx 50 left and these are mainly males. All the mice are friendly, fairly easy to handled and now looking for new loving homes. Mice make great pets for children but many people do not like them and think they are like the wild mice found in your garden, this means many mice that come into rescues stay with us along time, some live out they days with us.

   

Mice make great pets they are very different Individual mice have different personalities. Some will be keep-fit fanatics, running on their wheel and chasing the others around and others will be homemakers, building comfortable nests and rearranging the tank. Some mice are playful and easy to socialise, while others need more work. However, the quiet mouse is just as 'normal' as her hyperactive sister. Watching mice play and socialise amongst themselves, you will see a range of behaviour types and temperaments. This is one of many reasons for keeping several mice rather than just one.

   

Mice are very easy to keep, undemanding pets. However, they are by nature timid and so you need to spend time getting to know them. They will not play with you in the way that dogs or rats will, but they are rewarding pets nonetheless. Due to their active natures, simply watching them in their tank can provide hours of pleasure.

   

We have many cheap 2nd hand cages for sale, we also sell food, water bottles, bowls and toys at very reasonable prices.

  

We have no set fee for our Mice we just ask for a donation
