Farplace Animal Rescue Animal Sanctuary
the no-kill animal sanctuary
 

This year we have been pleased to help more animals than ever before. As we do not have kennels, we are very limited in the number of dogs we can take in, but we can often help with other animals.

We have many animals available for adoption, including cats and kittens, rabbits and guinea pigs.

We are also the home of St.Strompus Hospice for Sick Cats – a haven for feral cats who are FIV positive. We believe that FIV should not mean an automatic death sentence, and have established this hospice in one of our existing buildings to enable us to give these cats optimum care.

We have recently been privileged in purchasing a woodland close to the sanctuary, which we are using as a wildlife rehab and release area, as well as offering protection to the animals who share this woodland with us.

NEWSPAPER APPEAL
At this time of year we always have a great need for newspaper for use as bedding. The recent floods here soaked a lot of newspapers, which had to be dumped in the recycling. This has meant that supplies are very low. If anyone close to the sanctuary could save their newpapers for us we would be so very grateful. Many thanks.
