Monday morning updates

Another busy weekend, several baby pigeons and injured adults brought in.  They are all doing well and set to survive.  The same with the hedgehogs, not so many babies this year and the ones brought in have made good recoveries.  We’re fattening them up for the hibernation and will make sure they are up to weight before release or we’ll keep them through the winter.

Hope, the kit with the injured eye, continues to improve but slowly.   We are still waiting to see whether her eye can be saved.  If it heals and there is no infection there is a good chance.

Cinders, the stray in shocking condition, is getting a bit better, she has only just begun to come out of her nest though.  All she’s done so far is sleep.

Suzie, the cat with 7 kittens, lost one of them, it was very small and didn’t make it.  The other six are doing well, she is a wonderful mother.

We have four more kittens who are nearly ready for adoption, they are going for a health check and their first vaccination later this week.

Misty, the barn owl, is becoming calm, she’s eating well and will take a chick from our hand now.  Thanks for the donation of frozen mice – they provide variety and she loves them.  You can buy frozen food (mice, chicks, rabbits, rats etc.)  from our local pet superstore who keep freezers full of food for birds and reptiles.  Our birds (including the ones we have released) eat large quantities of frozen fur and feather – donations much appreciated.
