Waiting for our blood test results at the vets! Nothing wrong with us just a health check to start nexguard spectra which covers all flead ticks and worms in one.
We like that we are allowed on the sofas! 🛋️

Not overseas.
Not hidden away.

This was no accident.
This was the result of silence. Of looking the other way. Of a system that allows anyone to call themselves a rescue — and no one to stop them.

𝗘𝗡𝗢𝗨𝗚𝗛.

This is our line in the sand.

Across the UK, unregulated pop-up rescues are multiplying. No licences. No inspections. No protection. Animals are suffering behind closed doors while cruelty hides in plain sight.

But today — 𝘄𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸.

Not with violence.
Not with hate.
But with courage.
With unity.
With unstoppable, undeniable truth.

𝗗𝗼 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺.
For the 37 who never made it out.
For the 20 still learning to trust again.
For every soul locked in a cage tonight, waiting for someone to care.

𝗪𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
𝗪𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲.
𝗪𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 “𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗰𝘂𝗲” 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆.

This is our moment.
To rise.
To roar.
To make history.
