🩷🌷 In Loving Memory of Sonia Hulme. Sonia passed away due to Cancer related illness, taken at just 50 years old.

A beautiful force of nature, a mother to five children, a wife, a dedicated animal rescuer. 20 years Sonia dedicated everything to rescuing thousands and thousands of animals for the RSPCA. A woman full of love and tenacity, it wasn't just a job, it was a calling, she went above and beyond.

Working with you for those 20 years has been an absolute privilege and pleasure. It's not going to be the same without you, so very sorry Sonia 😞Thank you for everything you did for the animals and for being you.

You will always be with us and your legacy will live on. 🌷🩷

Deno
Female
DSH
Approximately 1 1/2 years old
Arrived 30th September 2026
Fostered Cheadle Hulme

Back in April the RSPCA dealt with a home of 50 cats and kittens, an awful lot of them were extremely poorly with Flu, among other things, it took months to get them well. We offered Deno a foster home in September so she had some home comforts and TLC on her way to finding a new loving home.

Deno is beautiful, dainty and elegant. She is timid with new people and it takes a while for her to be comfortable with them. She is curious and loves to explore new places and play with toys. She likes having her head stroked but is wary of being picked up. She would love to go outside. She would probably be better in a home without very young children but would make a lovely pet once she settled in. Deno has been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. She could potentially go with a cat friendly cat of a similar age. A dog free home is best.

Three beautiful rabbits came into the RSPCA animal hospital, very vulnerable and poorly after being left to fend for themselves, the owner was in hospital and the house repossessed, that's when the rabbits were found. Including a 7 week old who was close to death. After a couple of weeks they came to one of our wonderful foster homes. A few words from their foster Mum:

Sven is a lovely, happy confident bunny who is looking for a home where he can get lots of attention and also a neutered bunny friend. He will happily come and sit on your knee and lick you, he loves humans but he's definitely in need of a bunny friend to be with!

He was very underweight alongside the other bunnies that were surrendered and it was unclear if any of them would pull through but luckily he has and is now thriving.

He looks to be a lionhead with maybe a little bit of Rex as the other two bunnies that were with him have more of a Rex coat.

He was neutered on the 20/10/26 and his DOB is estimated to be around 17/5/26.
He is used to the resident dogs and will suit an outdoor or indoor home. He has been vaccinated and microchipped.

Rabbits require a minimum of 60 square feet ground floor space to live in 24/7 with plenty of enrichment including a dig box and shelters. Please read this information on suitable accommodation :

This fluffle came into our care with two other rabbits, a crowded multi animal, most loose, environment in a conservatory, horrific conditions, there were deceased baby rabbits, Sol was kept in a tiny hutch, with no way of exercising at all, so she was overweight and her nails very overgrown. There is a prosecution pending. It's taken a while to put them up for adoption as we had to wait to neuter them. Liquorice will be neutered when slightly bigger. To go as pairs of male and female.

These cuties came in as 5 week old babies who had obviously not had the correct nutrition. They were all rather skinny with not much muscle tone around their back ends. They are now on a proper diet suitable for young, growing rabbits and have filled out. Since they arrived at such a young age, we have been able to socialise them well and they are all really friendly! They all enjoy a stroke on the head, especially the two boys and they all ‘help’ (or should I say, get in the way!) when their pen is cleaned out each day.

Chip is the largest and has a rather sassy personality! When you put her down again after handling her, she will hop away flicking her back legs as if to say ‘how dare you touch me’! She has such pretty eyes, they are both half brown and half blue. Treacle is the most confident and will always be the first one to greet you. Pepsi is also a confident little chap but not quite as much as his brother. Liquorice is a little smaller than the others but that doesn’t stop her. She will need to wait a bit longer until she is neutered so that she can grow a bit more. We do wonder if they are different ages from different litters.
Also, somebody in the group has been getting a bit carried away grooming the others as we have noticed some short whiskers!

To try and litter train them, we have had them bedded on shavings with the hay in litter trays. This has helped hugely to keep them tidy!

Indoor housing requirement is a minimum of 60 square feet of floor space 24/7.

Outdoor housing requirement is a minimum 6ft shed/house or 6 x 2 x 2 hutch with a minimum of 60 sq. feet of secure covered floor space, normally a run and it has to be 3ft in height attached securely to the rabbit house, with ideally but not mandatory, the freedom to a secure garden/alternative area for stimulation; exercise, space and enrichment are most important!

🐰 What's on our minds? Our gorgeous elderly bunny Thumper 🐰 A very special heartfelt appeal to our supporters 🙏💙

Thumper arrived a few months ago. He's lived a solitary life with no bunny friends his whole life 😔
He's 10 years old. He now lives alongside a rabbit and is happy. He lived in a hutch among wild Rodents which explains his health problems. There were even rodent poos in his carrier.

Sadly he cannot be rehomed due to heart and lung problems, so he's with us, very happy, until it's time to leave for Rainbow Bridge 🌈

The last couple of days he's become poorly, the cold weather is not helping, so his carers at Meremoggies have taken him into their house. He's warm and cosy and we just hope he'll pull through. He's also being given Critical care solution. He has the company of the resident domestic Duck which is somewhat different 😆

If you'd like to donate towards his care in any way, or towards the care of the other animals we have please take a look here for ideas:

We have so many animals that are not advertised yet due to needing neutering, vaccinating and rehabilitating.

🙏💙

⚠️ ADVICE FOR RABBIT OWNERS ⚠️
We have heard of a fatal case of Haemorrhagic Disease in Macclesfield where two rabbits died suddenly. There are likely other cases out there. Please vaccinate your rabbits regardless of whether they are indoors or outdoors, to prevent sudden death.
