Elvis ❤️‍🩹

One of this evening’s rescue intakes, Elvis arrived in a heartbreaking condition. He was suffering from severe flystrike on top of ringworm and mange, and was covered in fleas.

After a much-needed bath, treatment for his various conditions, and plenty of TLC, he’s now tucked up and enjoying a well-earned dinner. 🦔💚

He still has a long road to recovery ahead, but tonight he’s safe, comfortable, and getting the care he desperately needed.

Thank you to everyone who supports our rescues and makes stories like Elvis’s possible. ❤️

Thursday 4th June, 2026

So my really good news which cannot be underestimated is that my right breast and lymph nodes have no evidence of disease and we have a new plan after several consultant opinions and a shorter regime than the original. I start 18 weeks of chemo every 3 weeks in 12th June. In terms of side effects however some women find it harder to tolerate this drug regime (sickness, diarrhoea, mouth ulcers, utter exhaustion etc). It is going to be shorter than originally anticipated but it could be brutal too. Or I may be OK, we just don't know yet. I then have surgery in November, HER2 treatment/s and radiotherapy.

I'm not going to be able to host a stall at the Great Ayton Summer Fete on 13th June, I'm waiting to hear from Sean if he wishes to do this on his own.

I have so many appointments I need to buy a planner, it really is like at least a part time job in itself. I hate not being open, and I miss not being of use and the loss of contact with creatures. But it is going to be shorter now and I do feel we are getting on with it at last.

There are lots I can do when I'm able to keep things ticking along for when we can open so please do check in on us every now and then and continue to follow us........because eventually we will have pages of hedgehogs, wood mice, bank voles, shrews, etc, and one day a leveret!
