Please say hello to Petra 👋

Petra’s past remains a mystery. Found alone at the side of a busy road wearing a harness but no id tag, not chipped and no reports of her missing. With no clue to her name, her finder called her Petra.

The first few days Petra did seem a little bewildered, as if she was constantly on the look out for her person. Since then she has settled into sanctuary life but it’s pretty clear she isn’t happy in kennels. She regularly spends time in our reception, and often ‘chats’ to them when she would like some attention.

Petra’s been on sleep overs with volunteers and especially enjoyed home comforts like the sofa! We feel she’ll slot into family life with ease.

At a guess, Petra could be a husky / shepherd cross, however she’s quite small for these breeds. She walks nicely on her lead, but can get excited to see any wildlife! She’s met dogs here but doesn’t want to interact and we feel she would be best suited as an only pet.

So far Petra has had little interest, which we just can’t understand 🥲

Vinnie desperately needs to find a new home. He's a friendly boy but does need to be the only pet in the home. He loves adults and children but he doesn't always know his size and strength so would be better suited with those over 14+.

Please share for gorgeous Vinnie...

❗️Foster Home Urgently Needed ❗️

Alex was the victim of a road traffic accident. Thankfully he was found and taken to Highcroft Vets, who have operated on his fractured pelvis and have done a brilliant job of caring for him. He is doing well and ready to be discharged. Therefore he now urgently needs a foster home for rest and recuperation.

Staff at the vets describe Alex as a 'very good boy'! He is neutered, confident and friendly and should make a full recovery. He will need crate rest for 6-8 weeks, daily medication and monitoring for any pain. No other pets to ensure Alex can recover in peace. He could potentially live with teens.

All veterinary bills are covered by Holly Hedge and any equipment and advice will be provided.

Can you help Alex? Please contact [email protected].

❗️Hand Rearing Experienced Foster Home Still Needed❗️

We are still searching for a suitable foster home for Georgina and her kittens - now two and a half weeks old.

Mum Georgina has very little milk so her kittens need feeding every 3 hours including through the night. Kitten weights and feeds need to be monitored and recorded.

We are ideally looking for a foster home with hand rearing experience. Pet and child free for a calm environment where someone will be needed at home most of the time. Also reasonably close to Holly Hedge / Portishead and able to transport to the vets if required. All equipment will be provided.

If you can help - please get in touch with the Sanctuary via email [email protected] or by calling 01275 474719.

Thank you.

❤️❤️ Happy Furever After❤️❤️

We thought that you may enjoy a little update on Ralph, (was Conker).

Ralph (or Ralphy, Ralphy Roo, or The Ralphster as he’s often known!) pretty much made himself at home from day 1.

He is really settled, happy and enjoys lots of love and attention.
He loves his food and treats and has gained a little in size too, and is now at a nice healthy weight.

He likes to sit in the conservatory in the sunshine watching the birds and squirrels in the garden, or to sit in his tower in the living room looking at the world outside the front window.

He’s had his first day of venturing outside and discovering the garden and the woods beyond. He was quite tentative at first, but has now started to explore, though he pops back frequently to make sure we are still here!

It was with great sorrow we learned of the passing of Anthony Head, a true gentleman and a wonderful person who will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He was so famous, yet so grounded with no ego whatsoever. We were extremely proud to have him as our Patron along with Sarah. Our hearts go out to Daisy, Emily and family having to go through such sadness again.

Anthony will always be remembered with love and gratitude by everyone at Holly Hedge for his kindness and advocacy on behalf of all creatures great and small. Reunited with his beloved Sarah their legacy of care and compassion will live on in all the good work they achieved together.
