WildLives Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre Thorrington, Essex, UK
Wildlives provides care and basic medical treatment for wildlife, and ensures that a bird or animal has veterinary
treatment where required.
With all animals brought into the centre, the ultimate aim will be release them back into the wild. In order to do this
successfully, it is necessary to ensure that they achieve a very high level of fitness and mobility (far in excess of
that which would be sufficient for a domestic pet). Furthermore, this must be done without 'taming' the animal. An animal
with no fear of people will, sadly, not live very long in the wild.
Wildlives receives no private funding, it is entirely dependent on donations from members of the public. If you would like to
make a donation to the WildLives Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre, you can send us a cheque

Even a few pounds a month would be of great assistance to the animals that we rescue.

Animals in Distress Rescue Ipplepen, Newton Abbot, Devon
We have dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, ferrets and chinchillas needing homes.
Click here to see the pets needing homes.
Animals come to the Rescue Centre for a variety of reasons including bereavement, illness, relationship breakdown,
financial reasons and sadly, cruelty and neglect. The policy of the Charity is never to turn away an animal in
distress and never to have an animal put to sleep unless, on veterinary advice, it is too ill or dangerous to
be re-homed.
Every effort is taken to ensure that prospective owners find the right pet for them. Normally home checks are
carried out by volunteer home visitors before any animal leaves the Centre followed by a further check weeks
later to ensure all is well. Most animals are checked by our veterinary surgeon before they leave and all
cats and dogs are microchipped and vaccinated. Cats and dogs are neutered before re-homing.

Furry Friends Animal Rescue Old Coulsdon, Surrey, UK
Furry Friends Animal Rescue was started in March 2001. It was originally meant to cater for rats, mice,
chinchillas, guinea pigs,
mice etc. After a few weeks we realised that there were other animals that were
in just as much need of help as the ones mentioned. This included rabbits, dogs,
cats and terrapins. We have a non-destruct policy, which means that if an animal
comes in that needs veterinary care and medication for the rest of its life, then we will
provide for each animals special needs. No animal is put to sleep because there are too
many here, have been in for too long or don't make the standard for rehoming.
We have always have lots of lovely rabbits looking for homes, so if you are interested in adopting one (or more)
then please contact us.

CavyRescue Rescue-a-Rodent Rochester, Kent, UK
CavyRescue is run by Jason and Stella Hulott.
Originally set up to rescue guinea pigs, rabbit and hamsters etc, we found that there were few other
rescues who took in rats.While we retained the name CavyRescue (‘cavy’ is a posh word for guinea pig!)
as we were well known, you may also hear of us called Recycle a Rodent.
We are based in Kent and both work full time to help pay for the costs associated with running the Rescue
– we are juggling our two ‘jobs’ successfully at the moment, although get very little sleep!
The basic costs of caring for our permanent residents averages at around £200 a month, but
that is without vet bills. Our annual vet bill averages out at around £15,000 a year and these
costs are all paid for by ourselves and from donations, so every donation, however small, is very much appreciated.
Woodside Sanctuary Plympton, Plymouth, Devon
We have dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs needing homes. You can view the animals we currently have available by
clicking here.
We try to keep our site up to date but we usually have far more cats and kittens with us than are listed so a
visit to the sanctuary is always reccomended.
Because we do a pre-homing visit for all our animals, our homing area is restricted. Please contact the sanctuary
before visiting to check we are able to rehome in your area.
All our animals are vaccinated, neutered microchipped, flea sprayed and wormed, and we take our animals back if
things do not work out or your circumstances change.
