Our primary focus as an organisation, is the rescue and rehabilitation of exotic pets in need.
We are a small rescue, with limited space to take animals in. Due to this, we prioritise emergency cases, ensuring our spaces are available for those in desperate need. Emergencies we can help with include:
- Animals found in the wild
- Referrals from other rescue centres
- Animals in need of urgent veterinary treatment
- Animals who’s owner is unwell, or has sadly died
- Abandoned animals
If you are in need of our help in an emergency, please call any of the below numbers. Please note that we run the rescue in our spare time, around work and other commitments; we may not be able to answer your call immediately, so please leave a voicemail so we can return your call asap.

If you are looking to rehome your animal and your situation isn’t an emergency, we are no longer able to take animals in under these circumstances, however we do offer a direct rehoming service and advice on private rehoming. We can also offer support in your home until your animal is rehomed, if required.
Rehabilitation
Animal’s arrive through our doors in varying conditions, ranging from healthy, to very unwell. Upon arrival they are given an initial health check by a competent member of our team. We check for any injuries, signs of disease or ectoparasites. This is a basic assessment of their overall health, and any concerns are noted and vet treatment sought if required. We also attain a faecal sample at the earliest convenience, for endoparasite screening.
We monitor our animals closely, with daily records being kept throughout their quarantine period, making note of their eating habits, behaviour, toileting, weight and any changes to their health. We also keep note of any treatment they receive.
Our absolute minimum quarantine period is 4 weeks. This may be extended until such a time we are happy that the animal is healthy, clear of parasites and in a position to be monitored on an “event” basis – meaning we record only things of note. It is at this time that an animal may be made available for adoption.
In some cases, throughout the quarantine period, it becomes apparent an animal will not be eligible for rehoming due to long-term health concerns, or behavioural issues. We keep these animals in our care or the care of our fosterers, to ensure they continue receiving the one to one attention they need. Find out more about our sanctuary animals here.
