‼️ Fennick Update ‼️

A huge thank you to everyone who’s supported Fennick on his journey to recovery! Thanks to your generosity, he’s been enjoying nutritious, high-quality meals—and loving every bite.

We’re happy to share that Fennick is now off his urgent care prescription diet. While he’s no longer on the critical list, he’s still thriving on a premium diet that keeps him happy and healthy.

Just look at the transformation from his arrival photo—his eyes are brighter, his skin is healthier, and his overall energy has improved so much. He’s come a long way, and it’s all thanks to your kindness.

🐾 Thank you again for making a difference!

🦇 “I can hear you!”

This Brown Long-Eared Bat was brought to one of our partner veterinary practices today after being discovered in a back garden in Cleethorpes.

During the initial assessment by our volunteer, a tear in the plagiopatagium (the section of wing membrane between the bat’s body and its fifth finger) was identified and examined. Fortunately, the bat passed a walking test and showed no other concerning injuries — making it a promising candidate for rehabilitation.

While we do carry out bat triage, we currently don’t have the specialist facilities required to provide long-term rehabilitation care. Thankfully, we work closely with the East Yorkshire Bat Group (EYBG) to ensure bats receive the support they need. This bat will now be cared for by Claire, EYBG’s licensed bat ecologist and rehabilitator.

A huge thank you to the finder for seeking help promptly, and to our dedicated volunteer Dee for handling the transport.

‼️ Fennick Update ‼️

A huge thank you to everyone who donated to our appeal yesterday — your support means the world and is already making a difference!

As for Fennick, he’s doing well and looking much brighter today. If he could, we’re sure he’d personally thank each of you for contributing to his treatment and meals. But, true to his shy fox nature, he’s more comfortable expressing his gratitude from the safety of his hide.

He’s taking his medication like a champ, and we’re happy to report that some of his sore patches are already starting to heal.

Thank you once again for your continued kindness and support! 🦊❤️

‼️ Urgent Appeal for Fennick ‼️

Covered head to toe in mange and weighing just 2.8kg, Fennick has had a heartbreaking start to life.

Admitted to our vets last night, Fennick’s treatment has only just begun — but with over £1,000 spent on veterinary care in the last three days alone, we’re really feeling the pinch.

That’s £1,000 before we treat any other animals arriving with us, before we provide food, shelter, and bedding for wildlife casualties, before we put fuel in our vehicles for transport to and from appointments… and so much more.

Fennick will likely need several more vet visits, which will continue to add to the cost. He’s also on a critical care diet — and it’s eye-wateringly expensive.

We know we sound like a broken record, but we simply cannot do this without your help.

If you’re able, please consider donating to Fennick’s care:

We’re sorry it’s been a few days since our last update — things have been incredibly busy here at Cleethorpes Wildlife Rescue!

From foxes and badgers to deer and birds, wildlife has been arriving thick and fast. Today, we’ve covered £514.49 in veterinary care — and with more animals heading to the vets later, that total is expected to rise to over £600.

If you’d like to help us continue our work and support the wildlife that needs us, please consider donating:

We’ll do our best to share individual updates over the coming days so you can see exactly what your support helps us achieve.

Thank you, as always, for standing with us. 🦊🦡🦌🕊️

“Could you help keep my belly full?” 🐦💛

This fledgling blackbird was rescued from Immingham last night after being picked up by a dog. Thankfully, it’s now safe—but very hungry. It’s just one of many birds arriving into our care every day.

Right now, wildlife needs us more than ever.

So far this year, 76% of people who surrendered an injured animal to us chose not to contribute toward their care—even when our volunteers travelled to collect the animal and rushed them to emergency veterinary care. We know times are tough, but we can’t do it alone.

💚 If you’re able to spare just £1 or £2 a month, becoming a monthly donor could make a huge difference. You’d be helping us feed and care for wildlife like this little blackbird all year round.

Every penny helps. Every life matters.

And they’re off! 🕊️

Today, we released 9 feral pigeons into the well-established flock at People’s Park! There’s no doubt they’ll be well fed and right at home here.

Wishing them safe skies! ❤️

Thank you 🙏

The hard work continues for our dedicated local veterinary partners!

Here, Catriona — a veterinary surgeon at Eastfield Veterinary Clinic— is carefully debriding a necrotic wound on a juvenile wood pigeon that was recently brought into their care.

Thanks to the swift action of the team at Eastfield, this bird was saved just in time and will now be coming to us at Cleethorpes Wildlife Rescue to begin its rehabilitation journey.

Fantastic teamwork all round!

Good news – we’re going to have space to admit new wildlife casualties!

After nearly two weeks at full capacity, we’ve finally been able to free up some space. Until now, we could only accept new patients when others were released, which made turning away casualties incredibly difficult—especially knowing there are so few good local options for wildlife care. In some cases, finders have had to drive over 50 miles to reach another ethical rescue with room.

Thanks to our strong working relationship with other centres, we were able to transfer some of our patients today to RSPCA East Winch Wildlife Hospital, freeing up a few bays with us. Today and tomorrow we’ll be giving those bays a full deep clean and getting them ready for new arrivals.

We’ll be back to normal admissions on Sunday, and we’re hoping the rest of the season will be a little gentler.

A huge thank you to the RSPCA for your continued support!

Huge thanks to Eastfield Veterinary Hospital for being true wildlife heroes!

This evening, we delivered a CPD session at their practice focused on triaging injured wildlife. The session featured an insightful talk from our lead rescuer on wildlife rehabilitation, as well as a presentation by veterinary surgeon Clara—who manages many of our complex wildlife cases.

Training like this can be a crucial lifeline for wildlife—especially during busy times like now, when rescue centres are at full capacity and there may be a short wait before animals can be transferred from veterinary practices to our care. Having confident, well-prepared vets on the front line makes a real difference to an animal’s chance of survival.

We’re proud to offer sessions like this to support local veterinary teams in caring for wildlife brought into their practices.

Thank you again for having us!

We’ve got plenty of these cheeky visitors in at the moment!

They seem to have a sixth sense for freshly cleaned bays—waiting until everything’s spotless before promptly… making a mess again! Because of this, we’re cleaning their areas constantly throughout the day.

Unlike the younger gulls in the photo, we’re now seeing the first fledgling gulls making their way to the ground to start building up wing strength. These young gulls can spend around a week on the ground before they’re ready to take their first short flights.
