The three amigos would like to ask if anyone has any spare newspapers could they please consider dropping them off at the shelter? After asking for a pause in deliveries a couple of months back we have used up our overstock. Please leave them in the metal dustbin outside the shelter or in the shed by our main entrance. Thank you 😊

Thank you all for your generous donations of newspapers. Thanks to your ongoing generosity we have more than we can store at the moment so would kindly ask that no more be dropped off until further notice 😊

I would like to say a Big Thankyou to all our very special volunteers who have devoted their time into keeping everything in order at the charity, from hutch cleaning, to feeding 50+ hungry faces daily, to stacking bales of hay, to comforting those guinea pigs who have been dumped, abandoned abused and/or neglected, and to those of you who have made it possible for us to continue into our 21st year with your much appreciated donations.

Wishing you all a Very Happy New Year! Val

Does anyone have any old newspapers that we could have? We are desperately short of them for lining the hutches. We have a metal dustbin outside that they can be left in at any time. Feel free to share this post with friends and family. All the piggies will be very grateful ☺️

Sadly, we have two volunteers which have left due to personal circumstances. We therefore have voluntary vacancies on Monday and Thursday from 9am-11am, ideally suited for active retired people but all enquiries are welcome.
All Guinea Pigs are in an air-conditioned shelter with access to outside runs.
The shelter has toilet facilities and has off road parking.
We even stop for tea and bickies.
Please contact Val on this page or call 07790684888.
Registered Charity No.1121002 based in Eastry.
