Animal Rescue and Care - Twickenham

Non-profit animal charity run completely by dedicated volunteers. www.animalrescueandcare.org.uk

Based in the London Borough of Richmond-upon-Thames, and we operate in the general areas of Surrey, Middlesex and parts of SW London, although we occasionally re-home animals further afield. At ARC our priority is to rescue, foster, re-home and assist all types of animals, while also offering advice, information and raise public awareness about animal welfare. All the animals that come in to ARC are looked after in private foster homes by loving experienced carers. They receive plenty of 'TLC' and any veterinary care that they require, including neutering. ARC does not put animals to sleep unless they are suffering or their quality of life is clearly unsatisfactory.

Breakfast is always better with a friend 😍.

We love it when the bunnies we are bonding enjoy sharing their pellets and have ear hugs 💞

Let’s talk Nails 💅🏻

This weekend we’ve taken in a pair of Guinea pigs who were found dumped in a box in a park and this was what their nails looked like.
We see this time and time again!

Guinea pigs need their nails trimmed regularly! At least once per month,
more if needed, it’s good practice to get into the habit of checking nails weekly and keep the ends trimmed.

Overgrown nails can cause pain and discomfort to your Guinea pigs.

If you’re struggling please book them in for a nail trim with your local vet or vet nurse and they can show you how to safely cut their nails.

Meet the beautiful Tyger, another one of our foster cats who came to ARC from a home where the owner could no longer take care of them all due to health issues.

He is a gentle but nervous boy who and hid when he first arrived in his new foster home.

Now he has had time to warm up, he is much better for his fosterers and, when he feels safe, will have strokes and purrs loudly, even rolling over for belly rubs which he seems to love!

He is such a lovely gentle boy and even held his fosterers hand the other day because he didn’t want them to stop stroking him.

He will be a lovely cat to have but anyone wanting to adopt Tyget will need to understand that he will not view well as he will hide as soon as a stranger arrives!

Feeling the Monday blues 😴

Goregous sisters Freya (tabby) and Pat (torti) came to ARC along with their mum and some siblings after their owner sadly had to give them up due to health issues. They were all very loved in their old home to the point of overfeeding so have been on a little diet since they came to us.

Pat is a little more confident than Freya but both are incredible affectionate and love strokes, especially around the face! Both also have very loud purrs to show their appreciation with.

They can be homed individually or together as they are currently being fostered together. If you're interested, check out their pages on the website!

Our gorgeous pineapple has landed on her little paws! She’s settling in well with her new family and has a lovely set up that allows her to have lots of space/bedding and enrichment to ensure she’s happy and active.
