Happy news

A lovely message we received the other day:

Hello, there!  I thought everyone at the animal shelter might like to hear about how our adopted kittens are doing.

Alden and I adopted ’Parsley’ and ‘Sage’ in May/June, and we’ve had them now for a few months.  We renamed them Watson (grey tabby) and Sherlock (black and white part siamese) and their personalities are showing the curiosity they were named for! They are growing like weeds, happy and healthy.  We recently relocated to a bigger house and they’re very happy to have a lot more room to run around.  Apart from a few encounters with plants in which the plants have come off the worse, things are very good for our little family.

A happy ending for our new Donkey friends

Last week we received a call from one of our volunteers who had been told of two young donkeys abandoned along a local bog road, the person who discovered them had put them into a derelict premises to get them off the road. That lunchtime we got water and feed to them and had a look at their general condition. They were very scared and stuck close to each other, their winter coats hung off them remaining unshed, an indication they had not been wormed, their general condition looked poor and their hoofs required attention, they were no more than a year to eighteen months old. The temporary home had some grass and shelter and with the water and meal we left them overnight in order to plan where to move them.

Early next morning they were checked again, no meal had been taken and only a little water. With the help of a neighbour who had a tractor and horse-box we planned to move them both to the garden of one of our volunteers that evening. During the afternoon we recieved another call to tell us that the owner of the derelict site had evicted the donkeys and they were on the road again. With some local help they were rounded up and held in a nearby farm. Our thanks to all of those who took time to help, if the donkeys had wandered into the nearby forests it could have been an impossible task.

Freddie and Georgie have settled well in their foster home and have discovered the delights of meal and carrots, their coats are already improving. It seems that fate is with them as a call to find a more temporary home led to a permanent home for both Freddie and Georgie. We are delighted they will stay together as this is the best outcome we could have hoped for. If anyone has the appropriate facilities to home donkeys and/or horses and would like to help abandoned animals please let us know. Meantime we wish Freddie and Georgie a happy and care free future in their new home.

Zorro is all grown up!

Just to update you on Zorro who celebrated his 1st Birthday recently.

Zorro is now very firmly the man about the house and lets my boyfriend know. He has become the housing estate’s favourite resident particularly amoung children who all know him by name and want him to join in their fun and games. As this picture shows Zorro or should i say Snorro really enjoyed the snow of last winter.
