Meet our animals

Misty Misty is about 13.2hh and was bought for £100 from Ipswich, his owners found that they could no longer look after him. He has been at the sanctuary for about 10 years, and although we have tried to rehome him but he does not seem to settle. So he will remain at the sanctuary, he is about 11 years old.Pepe

Pepe is about 5hh and was given to the sanctuary as her owners were looking for a home for her. Unfortunately she was born with a foot deformity effecting both her front feet. As you can see from the photos she walks on her knuckles, she copes very well and we are very pleased with our farrier and the progress he has made to help her. She can run around the paddock where she Midgecould not before. She is about 30 years old.

Midge is about 8hh and was bought from his owners in Felixstowe. He is disabled in both of his back legs and therefore can not be rehomed. He has also been Misty's companion for the last 10 years and would probably find it difficult to readjust. He is about 11 years old.

We also share our home with two Yorkshire Terriers, Beauty and Bonnie and a Chihuahua, called Candy.

Beauty and BonnieBeauty was the runt of the litter and her owners did not know what to do and were thinking of disposing of her. So the sanctuary took her in, she is now 16 years old and is diabetic and has to be given insulin twice daily. She is now partial blind and deaf but she still enjoys life! She could not be rehomed but she lives with us at home with Bonnie and Candy.

CandyBonnie was bought to us by her owner offering her for sale because she could not look after her anymore. She had recieved a bang on the head at some point and is now blind in one eye and being treating at Cambridge Small Animal Hospital. However she leads a normal life and everyone who meets her fall in love with her! Due to her condition she can not be rehomed. She is now 3 years old.

Candy was living with an elderly couple in a flat and they could not really look after her so we took her in as a family pet! She has a heart condition and also has trouble with her kidneys. She is now 17 years old, but still enjoys her walks and FOOD!!!

Two of our catsThe cats, all called 'Kitty' because we can not tell them apart, were found in the barn living wild with their mother. We tried to rescue them but the mother took them away, we left food out for them regularly and eventually we caught one which we rehomed after being neutered. We did manage to trap the rest of them and get them neutered, with help from the Felixstowe Cats Protection League. They now live "Free" at the Sanctuary and are regulary seen around the paddock especially when food is being served.
