I've not 'blogged' for ages, I cannot believe how much the time has flown.

July and August (as well as Dec, Jan, Feb and March!) are among our busiest months. People go on holiday and rather than find someone to take care of their pet, they dump them or bring them to us to rehome. So very sad.

We have taken in more gerbils, from a house in Essex, and are desperately trying to find them good homes.

Sadly at the weekend we lost both Bricktop to respiratory disease and Doyle (aged just 15 months) to degenerative disease. To read more about degenerative disease in rats, click here

It's been a very sad time.

On a happier note, Rigby Rat - all 6ft 6in of him - should arrive at the weekend! He is not some kind of giant mutant rat though, he is our rat costume that we can use for charity fund raising events!

He is named after one of our past rescues who came in to us with aggression problems. Within four months we'd turned him around into a friendly, lovely chap who became a foster dad to many of the young male rat kittens we took in.

  About Us

The aim of our charity is not only to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome small animals, but to educate individuals and animal-related organisations on proper small animal healthcare and welfare. We regularly run successful campaigns to this effect

Our website provides details of unwanted, abandoned and abused small furries (such as degus, rabbits, hamsters, rats and guinea pigs) that need loving homes not just at this rescue but nationwide and also provides lots of useful articles and information.

Our five year plan is to build a dedicated rodent rescue sanctuary with fully qualified staff 24/7 and the facility to take in hundreds of 'small furries'.
