In the course of our feral cat work we often come across other animals needing help, some of which we are happy to display on our website if they are in need of homes (below). Here you will also find links to other animal rescues in the area who may be able to advise you if you have found an animal other than a cat in need of help.

Acorn, Silver and baby Pipkin
Mum and dad are neutered. They are living separately at the moment - since their neutering ops - but their carer is hoping to find a home for the threesome as rabbits are much happier living with other rabbits.
If interested please contact their carer at small.animals@hotmail.co.uk
Mice
Several mice have been rescued from a person who was breeding them in order to make some extra cash until it was discovered that caring for mice required more work than was first thought and the breeder quickly lost interest. The mice have bred and some of the females are pregnant. They are all in need of safe homes with experienced owners. Their carer reports:
I am looking for homes for several rescued baby mice. They are 6 weeks old. Good homes only, please read the following! :)
At the moment I have four males available - I will be rehoming the five females once I am sure they are not pregnant.
Males fight so will need to be homed alone. They must NOT be housed with females and allowed to breed due to there being enough mice in the world already and having completely unknown genetics resulting in probable ill/dead babies. They must not be pets for children as mice can live for around two years and children tend to lose interest after a short time.
You will need a suitable tank - mice can escape from the majority of cages as they can flatten themselves and easily squeeze out between the narrow bars. The plastic types such as Rotastak can easily be chewed through - the best type is a glass fish tank with metal/mesh lid (ensure the holes in the mesh are too small for a mouse to squeeze through - they can get stuck in standard chicken wire). One mouse requires a minimum of a ten gallon (40 litre) tank, the more space the better! They also need things to explore, different levels, a wheel and somewhere to hide.
If you have a large enough glass tank with suitable lid, the time to care for him, and can offer one of these mice a loving home for the rest of his life, please contact me. All mice have been health checked by a vet and appear to be in good health. They are friendly, inquisitive and lively!
