Meet Bagpuss! 🐱

This handsome boy has so much love to give! 💚

Bagpuss might be a little shy when you first meet him, but once he's settled and feeling comfortable, his affectionate personality really shines through. He absolutely loves human company and is always happy to enjoy a cuddle!

He's also a big foodie, so be sure to keep those treats hidden! 🐟

Could you give Bagpuss the loving home he's been waiting for?

🎃 Happy Halloween from everyone at PACT! 🐷💚

Our pigs have been getting into the Halloween spirit and enjoying a rather tasty pumpkin treat!

If you're wondering what to do with your leftover pumpkins this Halloween, our farm animals would be very grateful for them!

We're happy to accept fresh, uncarved & undecorated pumpkins for our animals to enjoy. Unfortunately, we can't accept pumpkins that have been carved or used as decorations, for hygiene and safety reasons.

So, if you've got a spare pumpkin that hasn't made it into your Halloween display, why not give it a second purpose and treat some of our animals instead? Simply drop it off at the PACT Animal Sanctuary farm, where it can be put to good use as a tasty treat for our animals!🧡

Thank you for thinking of the animals in our care, and Happy Halloween! 🎃

🐾 Meet Hannah – looking for a loving retirement home! 💚

Sweet Hannah is an affectionate older girl who is ready to spend her golden years enjoying the comforts of a loving home.

Hannah loves the simple things in life – pottering around the garden, enjoying a gentle woodland walk and curling up somewhere cosy for an afternoon snooze. She's also quite the character, especially when it comes to reminding you that she's due some fuss and attention!

Sadly, Hannah is looking for a new home following the loss of her owners. She's now hoping to find someone who can offer her the love, companionship and security she deserves.

🏡 Hannah's ideal home:

A quieter home with adults or older children

A good-sized garden with secure, solid 6ft fencing

No cats, but she could live with another dog following successful introductions

Someone who is home for much of the day

A family happy to enjoy gentle, on-lead walks and plenty of time relaxing together

Hannah is a lovely companion who travels well in the car, settles happily downstairs overnight and enjoys being groomed and handled – particularly when it means a little extra attention! As an older girl, she does have a few fatty lumps on her chest, which our team will be happy to discuss with potential adopters.

If you're looking for a loving companion to share life's quieter moments, Hannah could be the perfect addition to your home. 💚

Could you give Hannah the retirement home she deserves?

🐾 Could you open your home to an animal in need?

You don't have to adopt an animal to change their life.

Sometimes, all a dog or cat needs is a safe, loving home while they wait for their forever family. That's where our wonderful foster carers come in.

Fostering gives animals the chance to experience the comforts of home, build confidence and enjoy the companionship and care they deserve. It also helps our team learn more about their personalities, so we can find the right permanent home for them.

Worried about the commitment or cost? We're here to help!

💚 Fostering is temporary, whether that's a few weeks or several months.

💚 PACT provides everything your foster animal needs, including food and veterinary care.

💚 You'll receive ongoing support and any relevant training from our team.

💚 By welcoming an animal into your home, you're also helping us make space to care for more animals in need.

You don't need to commit forever to make a lasting difference.

Could you be the stepping stone to an animal's second chance?

Meet our six little flightless wonders! 🐱

These kittens might not be able to fly, but they can certainly run!

Meet Emu, Ostrich, Moa, Kiwi, Elephant and Cassowary, six adorable kittens who are looking for loving homes where they can continue to grow in confidence.

Curious and playful, this little group love exploring, chasing toys and diving through their play tunnel! While they can be a little unsure of new people and surroundings at first, their personalities really begin to shine through once they feel comfortable.

🐾 Moa is the most confident of the bunch and will happily reward you with purrs when given a fuss. Ostrich and Kiwi aren't far behind, gradually growing in confidence and enjoying attention.

🐾 Emu, Elephant and Cassowary are a little more reserved and will need a gentler approach, with plenty of patience and reassurance as they learn to trust.

All six are looking for calm, understanding homes with people who will give them the time and space they need to settle in. With a little patience, plenty of playtime and lots of love, we're sure these little characters will make wonderful companions.

Could you offer one of our flightless wonders a place to land?

To find out more about adopting, please visit our website or contact our rehoming team.

Sunday Success Story – Matilda! 🐾

There's nothing we love more than hearing how our former residents are settling into their forever homes!

Beautiful Matilda has well and truly made herself at home, and it sounds like she's won over the whole family – including their resident bearded dragon! 🦎🐱

Her lovely new family recently sent us these photos, along with a little update:

💬 "Matilda has settled in beautifully, feels like she has been with us forever! She is a wonderful kitten with a lovely temperament. My children absolutely adore her too!"

It's wonderful to see Matilda looking so happy and loved in her new home. 💚

A huge thank you to her family for giving her such a lovely home and for sharing these gorgeous photos with us.

🐾 Have you adopted from PACT? We'd love to hear how your furry friends are getting on! Share your updates and photos with us.

Three legs, one big personality! Meet Sally! ❤️

Beautiful Sally may only have three legs, but that certainly doesn't slow her down!

Having arrived at PACT as a stray, this gorgeous girl has quickly won hearts with her friendly, affectionate nature. She's confident, playful and absolutely adores a fuss.

Whether she's playing with her favourite toys or enjoying some attention, Sally has so much love to give.

She's looking for a loving home where she can enjoy life as an indoor cat, or with access to a secure catio or cat-proof garden.

Could you offer this lovely girl her forever home?

Baking up a storm for PACT! 🧁

A huge thank you to Leigh and everyone Orbit Homes who got into the Halloween spirit yesterday with a fantastic charity bake sale in support of PACT!

But there's a particularly lovely story behind this fundraiser. ❤️

In 2024, Leigh adopted Mabel, a little dog who hadn't had the easiest start in life. Despite some challenges along the way, Mabel has brought so much love, laughter and happiness to her family that Leigh wanted to give something back to the sanctuary that brought them together.

And what better way than with cake?! 🍰

From spooky cupcakes to delicious homemade sausage rolls, the team pulled out all the stops, even awarding prizes for the best bakes!

We're so grateful to Leigh for organising the event and to everyone at Orbit Homes who baked, donated and got involved.

We'll be sharing the final fundraising total very soon, so watch this space! 👀

Thank you for helping us continue giving animals like Mabel the second chances they deserve. 💚🐾
