For anyone who would like to support us via our wishlist, we are currently in desperate need of hay and guinea pig and rabbit pellets 🙏🏼

Any support would truly be appreciated these difficult times.

Sadly, it has taken us over three months and we still haven’t reached out JustGiving fundraiser goal 🥲 we still remain at serious risk of closure.

We know we’ve been a little quieter recently and, although we aren’t currently taking on any new residents, behind the scenes we are focusing on the rescues already in our care, many of whom require ongoing medical treatment and support.

We are now at 89% of our target, which is amazing! 🎉 however, we still need to keep pushing to reach our goal.

Donations as small as £1–£2 really do go a long way, and if you’re not in a position to donate, please remember that shares, comments, and likes are also a huge help and mean so much to us 🙏🏼

We cannot thank you enough from the bottom of our hearts for supporting our rescues. We simply wouldn’t have been able to do what we do without your kindness and support 💕

Jack is bonding with a new friend today, as we sadly felt that Toffee and Jack weren’t the right match. These two definitely seem like they could be friends 🫶🏼🥹

MAY RUN DOWN 🗓️

We are a little behind, but here is our may run down.

Last month alone we spent 😨 £1,242.07 😨on vet costs (including medications) and £33.98 on bedding and hay. This is not including the ongoing forage, fresh vegetables, and other essentials.

Sadly, we are still in a position where we are unable to take on any further rescues as we are still paying off previous and ongoing vet bills.

May’s vet trips ⬇️

🐹 Nova’s GA to have her abscesses drained and Fawn’s health check - £437.17

🐀 Isaac’s health check - £63.61

🦷 Jack & Chip’s dental - £366.85

❤️‍🩹 Isaac’s neuter & Chip’s urgent follow up appointment - £155.00

🖤 Shadow’s urgent appointment after blood was discovered in his urine - £219.44

We’re so incredibly grateful to every single one of you who continues to support us — whether that’s through donations, purchasing from our wishlist, sharing our posts, or simply engaging with our content. It truly makes a difference.

Please consider supporting us to help us re open our doors to continue helping smaller animals in need 🐹🐾

A very kind thank you to Penny for the beautiful pot 🦋

Morning all. Does anyone in Clacton or the surrounding areas have an extra large garden pot going spare? We’re looking to create a special resting place for Chip, who sadly had to be put to rest on Monday ❤️‍🩹

Please share 🙏🏼

As well as the hard week we’ve had, we are still facing a financial crisis. For anyone who would like to donate towards our JustGiving fundraiser, there is still time to donate to help reach our goal 🙏🏼

As always, we will be posting full proof of our vet costs, along with May’s financial breakdown, so you can see exactly where your donations go.

This is the reality of running a high welfare rescue. We are committed to ensuring that every resident receives the care, treatment, and support they need, regardless of the cost. Unfortunately, many of the animals that come into our care have not received the care they deserve previously and often arrive with health issues that require veterinary attention.

Every donation helps us continue providing essential treatment and gives these animals the chance to live happy, healthy lives. Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far. Your kindness truly makes a difference 🫶🏼

In loving memory of Chip & Nova 🤍✨
