Please bare with me over the next 6 weeks, I may be late in responding to messages due to it being my daughters first Summer Holidays before starting school full time & also my Mum has a fair few hospital appointments too!
I will of course try my best to respond to all messages as quickly as I can but please understand that there will be some days where I am spending time with my daughter.

Thank you,
Bethan 💚

Hello everyone,

So my parents are feeling better but they do have a few hospital appointments scheduled over the next few weeks.
We will do our best to get back to helping out with animals again, but should a hospital appointment happen then please note we won’t be able to assist on that day.

Thank you for baring with us this past week & for all of the kind comments 💚

PLEASE READ ⚠️

My parents are both very unwell today & therefore we will need to ask everyone not to turn up with any animal today. There’s no way we can help at the moment, I’m very sorry.

For domestics try North Clwyd Animal Rescue
For seagulls try Gull Guardians
For wildlife try EJ’s Pigeon & Dove Rehabilitation

An update will be posted on here to let you know when my parents are feeling better, until then, I’m very sorry for any inconvenience this will cause but with their health already being an issue we need to make sure they’re okay before continuing helping animals.

Thank you,
Bethan 💚

Please note, if the animal you are messaging us about is on a roof / up a telephone pole or anything of the sort, we haven’t got the insurance to cover us for climbing public property. Therefore you would need to contact the likes of the RSPCA. We are also aware that the fire service have been to help in regards to something similar in the past.

Sorry for any inconvenience, but we cannot risk our lives. Thank you 💚

We have just received a message from a lady called Angela regarding some fledglings. Unfortunately, probably due to this lady’s privacy settings, we can not respond to her messages at all.

Angela, if you see this, I will be getting my Dad to contact you as soon as he’s available.

Please, if you contact us on here, please make sure your privacy settings allow us to reply to you! 💚

Here is our Amazon Wishlist!
We are adding a few more items to it today. If you wish to donate but don’t know what we need/what can be useful for us, this link will help you!

Thank you in advance to anyone who donates 💚

Thank you to Catherine for the donations this evening of bedding! Very much appreciated.

If anyone is wanting to donate, we are currently in need of towels (all sizes!)

Thank you 💚

Good afternoon everyone!

We appreciate everyone who has been very understanding of our circumstances & can also appreciate that it had probably been quite difficult without us being able to respond/help all the time.
We are slowly trying to get back to normality but due to fuel/food costs as well as personal health reasons we aren’t able to come out and collect animals like we used to.

Therefore, if you are able to get the animal to us that would be a huge help. However, please don’t turn up unannounced as we can’t guarantee that we will be able to get to the gates as my Mum’s disabilities have increased.

I will try my best to get back to messages as quick as possible but please bare with me.
Many thanks
Bethan 💚

Good evening everybody,

I’m sorry we still aren’t able to put all our focus into the page, a tonne has happened in our personal lives and we’re still trying to sort it all out. We understand it’s an inconvenience to everyone that has messaged us, but sometimes we have to put ourselves first as hard as that actually is for us.
Hopefully in the next few months we’ll have some form of normality in place & we will be able to get back to providing advise & assitance. But when we do, please note the assitance will be on a much smaller scale than previously. We will still try & take animals in, but we need to put our own health first as my Mum’s health deteriorated rapidly last year and as she’s the person who made the rescue happen it’s been a big hit to us all.

We will try our best to get back to helping everyone but please continue to bare with us. Things are upsetting & difficult and we’re only human after all.
Many thanks,
Bethan.

We’re very sorry we aren’t very responsive on here lately, there’s a lot going on within our lives and we need to focus on that. But just a quick thank you to this surprise donation from Joanne! We are very grateful for your support even through this tough time we’re going through. Thank you 💚

22/06/2022

Thank you Tia & your lovely family for the donation of Cuttlefish! You wouldn’t think we would go through it as quick as we do, so very grateful for some more of it 🥰 thank you 💚

For anyone who has ever wondered what a baby Pipistrelle Bat looks like!

15/06/2022

Yesterday this donation from our Amazon Wishlist arrived but we’ve no idea who donated it! But we are so grateful and we know for a fact our resident hens are happy too! So not only a thank you from us but also from Dusty, Dolly, Shirley & Chickaletta 🐓💚

13/06/2022

Surprise delivery this morning!

2 Baby Wood Pigeons have been put over our gates in a box. No note / message on here, so we’re just wondering if the person that dropped them off is on here & could give us some context as to what’s up with them. I can’t find any injuries & all that I do know is that they’re both hungry.
The box is a parcel box that had been delivered locally to someone called Simon Jackson? If you know him, or even better if you are the person & you see this, please could you message us with the background info just so we know what’s happened. Thank you so much for bringing them to us however! They’re just waiting for their breakfast to finish soaking & then they’ll have full crops 🥰💚

10/06/2022

The Amazon Delivery Driver just turned up with a trolley full of donations!! We are absolutely blown away by the kindness 🥺🥰

There was no note left with the Thermometer so we don’t know who to thank, but we are definitely grateful!
Thank you to Joanne for the Bird Grit, always comes in handy!
Thank you so much to Leanne for the Calcidust / Cuttlefish / Moss & Tortoise Substrate, everything we needed this week you’ve delivered!

We appreciate everyone who uses our Amazon Wishlist to donate and as much as we write our gratitude it never seems enough! But please know, we are incredibly grateful 💚

Peter Rabbit

Attacked by a cat this morning & urgently brought to us. Wound treated, now settling with some nutritious food. 🤞🏻 a lot of fight in this one & the wound has been treated before any infection had chance to settle in so looks to be a good recovery ahead. However, still early days of course

Steve the baby Seagull

Found last night in an open area with no Mother, came in this morning weak but fighting. He’s had a nice feed & has settled down for a sleep, possibly the first sleep on a full belly in a while!
Little & often feeds for this little guy until we’re happy with his progression with eating 🤞🏻

We say this a lot but it still seems to not be mentioned enough!

Edit: Very happy to say that this interesting post (and additional photos) was originally created by Skywatch Bird Rescue. Please give them a follow.

See the hole in the back of the Birds tongue? It is called a Glottis. It is the opening of their airway (trachea). All birds have this, you just can't see it so easily in most birds. The Glottis is the opening of the pathway directly to their lungs. This is why you should never drip water into a bird's open mouth. The water flows over the tongue and goes right into the Glottis, through the trachea and sits in the bird's lungs. (Called Aspiration)

Unlike humans, Birds cannot cough water out of their lungs so the water just sits in their lungs and they slowly suffocate with each breath, as well as can get a bacterial infection like pneumonia. This is why you should never drip water into a bird's open mouth. It takes a trained avian rehabilitator to properly hydrate a bird without causing more damage.

When you find a bird keep it contained and dark and quiet. If it's a baby, keep it very warm and get it to a licensed professional immediately. It's not only the law, but the right thing to do if you want it to have the best chances of survival.

We will be here today! Come & say hi and meet some of our residents 💚

Super grateful to Clare for her donation of kitten biscuits! Thank you so much 💚

23/05/2022

We will be attending the Jubilee event at Ty Calon on Thursday 2nd June with some of our animals! As we cannot guarantee from one day to the next what will be coming in we can’t guarantee who out of the animals will be attending, so it’ll be a surprise for any one wishing to come & see us! But we always make sure to bring animals that you can meet / stroke and photograph just please ask us first!

Hope to see some of you there! 💚

19/05/2022

Thank you so much Rachael for the donations from our Wishlist! The cuttlefish is VERY much appreciated 💚

18/05/2022

Thank you Phil for your donation from our Amazon Wishlist! We really appreciate it 💚

15/05/2022

We will be attending the Vale Vintage Machinery Club show on Saturday 2nd & Sunday 3rd July!

My Dad will be there with some of his military items as well as his jeep, my Mum will have some crafts available & I’ll be there with my own small business too! All there to help raise money for our rescue 🥰 Hopefully we will see some of you there! 💚

14/05/2022

Hi everyone!

Just a quick post to say that I run this page by myself due to my parents not being tech savvy etc. But I also run my own business as well and today I will be attending an event with my own business & therefore I won’t be able to respond to messages on here quickly / at least for a couple of hours until the event is finished. I do apologise as I know this may cause some inconvenience but I sincerely hope you understand.

My Dad will be home today as my Mum will be attending the event with me for moral support / me being her Carer I have to make sure should she need me I’m there. I can’t guarantee that my Dad will be home the whole day as there are times where he may be called out or simply needing to restock on animal food etc.

Again, I’m sorry for any inconvenience this will cause, but I know most of our supporters are understanding.

Thank you,
Bethan 💚

Thank you so much to a member of RNLI Flint Lifeboat for the very kind donations from our Amazon Wishlist! Very grateful 💚

03/05/2022

Huge thank you to the RNLI Flint Lifeboat for rescuing Ralph from the mud this afternoon. Unfortunately, other than just being dirty, Ralph has a completely shattered right wing. Infection has started to set in which will also be heightened from the mud being all over him too.

The RNLI acted fast & clearly don’t just rescue people! 👏🏻 We’re happy to be working alongside emergency services.

First talk of the year just finished!

Thank you so much to everyone at Ysgol Ty Fynnon for having us, the three classes we went to were all absolutely lovely to meet. We are SO sorry that we didn’t get to answer all your questions or even have enough time to talk to you properly about the animals we took with us. But we’re glad you all enjoyed it!

To the parents of the children we did the talk for: You should all be very proud, they were all very polite & showed a lot of interest. Credits to you all!

UPDATE ON “RUNTY” 🐾

“It's hard to believe that Runty has been with us for less than 3 weeks, he's definitely living up to his title of King. He was nervous at first but as you can see in the picture he is now very comfortable in his new home. He also has a nickname of catdog as he loves a game of fetch. My daughter says he was made especially for us as he is the perfect fit!” - His Mummy 💚

01/03/2022

UPDATE ON “RODNEY” 🐾

“Charlie has settled in very well! He loves his little brother Guts, they have lots of cuddles and absolutely love playing with each other..
Charlie has proven to be a mummy's boy and when having cuddles he likes to be as close as possible to her face! 😂 He also follows her round the house!!
He's a sweet boy and we've fallen in love with him and his funny little personality, he's perfect ❤️” - Charlie’s Mummy 💚

01/03/2022

UPDATE ON “RORY” 🐾

“Rory has settled in very well and is getting along with his new brother well. They love to have a play fight and tire each other out. He is cuddle monster to say the least! Everyday working from home he is constantly wanting attention and cuddles which is so cute. He is loving the cat tree and all the toys we have got him to play with. Narvi has gotten used to having him around and we are just hoping they start cuddling more together.
Rory is loving ruling the house with Narvi and also steal the sofa from us and we dare not move them off once they are sleeping on it” - Rory’s Daddy 💚

28/02/2022

UPDATE ON “ROCKY” 🐾

“Rocky is doing great we decided with him he should be a house cat, he loves cuddles & is very spoilt living like a king” - Rocky’s Mummy 💚

28/02/2022

UPDATE ON “OSWALD, LUNA & MARTHA” 🐾

“Oswald, Luna and Martha ( now called Khali) have settled in really well. Oswald is still a boisterous little kitty who loves his food and playing with his sisters. Luna and Khali adore each other and love to cuddle up together especially when the sun comes out” - their Daddy 💚
