Welcome to merrylegs charitable trust, we are a animal charity based in Whittlesey near Peterborough. We have been rescuing and homing animals at our shelter for over 20 years soley funded by Oakdale Veterinary Centre in Stanground. Providing veterinary treatment, feed, water, shelter and love for all those animals that need it. Currently at the shelter we have
109 horses and ponies
29 Dogs
136 Cats
9 rabbits
2 Guinea pigs
5 Pigs
7 terrapins
5 Cattle
6 Goats
1 African grey parrot
1 Amazon Blue
1 Goffins Cockatoo
Small aivary birds
5 Ferrets
Lots of chickens and ducks
All these animals have needed a home through no fault of their own. Some have veterinary costs which are too high for owners to pay so were going to be put to sleep, we have ponies that were destined for tiger food, and stray cats, to list a few. Merrylegs will not see a healthy animal put to sleep and will do our best to nurse back to health any animal we can. Please see the rest of out page for our recent rescue stories,
Merrylegs charitable trust will be running fund raising events starting in the summer 2014 to raise money to update our shelters these will include
Sponsored rides
Car boot sales
Horse awareness events
Have a go shows
Own a pony days
Ladies coffee morning
To name a few
We'd also like to thank Arnold Laver Peterborough for donating materials and sourcing tradesmen to do much needed repairs!
