Over the past few weeks, our team have been caring for some of the most vulnerable young animals to arrive at our Animal Centre this year.
Poor Baxter was rescued as part of a cruelty case involving multiple puppies. He had been fighting to survive in awful conditions and arrived with developmental issues affecting his bones leading to bowed front legs – alongside an ongoing digestive illness, all devastatingly caused by extreme malnutrition and living in unsanitary conditions.
At the very same time, tiny stray kittens Bruce and Ethel arrived in heart-breaking condition suffering with severe cat flu and painful eye infections. They were so weak and unwell that we genuinely didn’t know if they would survive.

One of our wonderful animal care team members immediately took the kittens home to provide round the clock feeding, medication and monitoring through the day and night. Without that urgent intervention, their story could have ended very differently.
images show Bruce the kitten with serious eye issues, Ethel the kitten suffering from cat flu and Baxter the Cane Corso puppy with bowed legs due to malnutrition.
Since arriving in our care, Bruce has needed ongoing treatment for a serious ulcer on his eye, while Baxter continues treatment and monitoring for his digestive illness and leg development. Thankfully, all three are now making wonderful progress 💙
Baxter is growing stronger every week, while Bruce and Ethel are now safe in a loving foster home, gaining weight and finally enjoying the warmth, comfort and care every young animal deserves.
The total care bill for this incredible trio is now exceeding £1,400 and as a self funded branch, cases like these quickly add up and place huge pressure on our resources. Sadly, we are seeing more and more heart-breaking cases of animals suffering through neglect, cruelty and abandonment.
As a small local branch, our dedicated staff, foster carers and volunteers work tirelessly every day to provide safety, medical care and love to animals who desperately need a second chance. We wish we could save every vulnerable animal suffering in the world. Sadly we can’t, but for every animal that comes into our care, we promise to give them everything we can until they find loving families where they will never have to suffer again!
If you would like to support Baxter, Bruce and Ethel, we would be incredibly grateful for any donation towards their ongoing care and recovery.
Every donation, no matter how small, truly makes a difference. If you’re unable to donate, we completely understand and we’re just grateful you’re here and part of our animal-loving community.
Thank you for helping us give these little fighters the future they deserve 💙
