The lovely Freya discovering some of her new enclosure furniture! 🪵

Freya is one of our five rescued pig-tailed macaques who recently arrived at the haven, and we're happy to share that she and the rest of the troop are settling in brilliantly.🧡

Each day they're growing a little more confident, exploring their new surroundings and enjoying the peace and security of their forever home.❤️

If you're visiting us, you can now catch a glimpse of Freya and her family in their new enclosure.
Watching them discover new sights, sounds and climbing spots has been a real joy for the team. 💚🐒

🐒💚 Home at last. 💚🐒

We’re incredibly excited to share that our five rescued pig-tailed macaques have now safely arrived. 🙌
After months of planning and a long journey, this beautiful family group has finally reached their forever home. ❤️

For now, they’ll be enjoying some well-deserved peace and quiet while our dedicated animal care team gives them all the time they need to settle into their new surroundings. 🧡

Rescues like this simply wouldn’t be possible without the kindness and support of so many people. A huge thank you to everyone involved, especially the incredible team at Stichting AAP for entrusting us with their care and everything they have done to give these macaques a second chance. We’d also like to extend a special thank you to Wightlink Isle of Wight Ferries for generously providing a free ferry crossing, helping these precious primates make their journey safely to the Isle of Wight. 🚢💚

Their story with us is only just beginning, and we can't wait to take you along for the journey. For now, these five special monkeys can simply enjoy what every rescued animal deserves, a safe place to call home. 🐒💚

And then there were two... 🦉💚

Our second wild barn owl chick arrived into our care last week after being found alone and unable to fend for itself.

Before coming to us, the tiny youngster spent a
night with The Carisbrooke Vets receiving much-needed fluids and supportive care. Once stable enough, he was passed into our team's care for rehabilitation.
When this little one first arrived, he was incredibly weak and shut down. 💔

Our team were very concerned, and for the first few days it really was touch and go.
Feeding was especially challenging, as he simply didn't seem to have the strength or instinct to swallow.

But with round-the-clock care, perseverance, and a whole lot of TLC, we're delighted to say this little fighter has started to turn a corner. 💚

We're so happy to report that he is now eating independently and has even joined our first rescued barn owl chick in the indoor flight aviary, where the pair can continue to grow and develop together before one day returning to the wild.💪

Updates to follow on these two wild babies!

💚 A Huge Thank You to The Wight Strollers 💚

Who have raised an incredible £1,000 for our Raise the Roof Appeal through their recent production of Robin Hood.🏹

This fantastic donation will go towards creating a new, larger enclosure for our Müeller gibbons, giving them even more space to climb, swing and thrive.❤️

We are incredibly grateful to everyone involved in the production and to all those who supported it. 🫶

Your generosity is helping make a real difference to the animals in our care.

Thank you so much! 👏🐒💚

🦉 Barn Owl Update 🦉

The young barn owl that came into our care just over a week ago is doing great! ❤️

Much of her fluffy baby down has disappeared, shes eating well, and has now moved into our larger indoor flight aviary as she continues to grow and gain strength.

One thing is for certain, she is VERY wild, which is exactly what we like to see! 💚

We'll keep you updated on the next stage of her rehabilitation! 🫶

🦉 Rescued and Safe 🦉

This baby wild barn owl came into our care 5 days ago, after falling from its nest and being found alone. 💔

Still far too young to fend for itself, the little one is safe, warm, and receiving the care it needs from our team.🙌

We’ll be doing everything we can to help this owl grow stronger over the coming days and weeks, eventually ready for release back to the wild. 💛

Stay tuned for more updates on this little one’s journey ✨
