We have taken on quite a few cats this last week and desperately need wet cat food please if anyone can donate. Dropping off at the sanctuary or using our amazon wish list is a massive help and really appreciated. Amazon wish list link can be found on our website. bfas.org.uk click on support menu then scroll to wishlist. Thank you for your support.

Beautiful cats looking for homes. Two boys 6 months old. Mum cat 2 years. (Bottom right) Mummy cat cannot be homed until she is scanned for pregnancy. Very friendly. Good with children, other cats. Please email admin@bfas.org.uk

Animal dinner time! Nicely prepared by four lovely ladies from Kettering vegans that helped out for the day. Thank you guys.

Molly is your typical cocker spaniel that likes to carry shoes, clothes etc around the house. Look what she happened to pick up this morning!

The cows were very happy to have a thorough clean out of their barn. Huge thanks to friend John and volunteer Jenny from Brinsley Animal Rescue for all of their help 😊. It will now be deep littered over the next few months to keep them warm in the winter.

We have had a very busy week collecting much needed hay. Massive thanks to m k open uni for the amazing hay donation! Thanks to Ed, Nick and Paul (as always!) for your much needed help.

Handsome Rupert came to us when his owners could not afford him. Rupert will need to go into a vets surgery to have an operation as he is a rig. Any donations towards this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you to everyone that has emailed offering a home to this beautiful boy. We have recieved lots of emails and it will take time to respond. Apologies if we do not get around to replying to everyone. Mick has spent his life in a cage and is a little institutionalised, therefore we will be looking for someone who has a large enclosure where he will also have friends.

This beautiful boy is looking for an experienced home that know African greys. Will need large enclosure and let out into the room frequently.

*Stig has been offered a forever home. Thanks for sharing. Stig was found in a dustbin dehydrated and had lots of gas in his stomach. He also has an inflamed pancreas. Thanks to the wonderful team at LakeView Veterinary Centre - Thrapston Stig is on the road to recovery. He will be looking for a home once he is 100%. He is believed to be 8-10 years but because of his condition it is difficult to be sure. If anyone can offer a loving home and show this sweet boy some love please get in touch via email.

We're going to be at Hanslope Vegan Fair tomorrow, please pass by and say hi.

Baby pony 😍he has made lots of new friends of all species including pigs,horses, humans and sheep. Baby pony was a big part of the local community when he lived on the Cambridge common, originally used as a trap pony by travellers children. Then abandoned on the Cambridge common. His cheeky personality is enough for anyone to fall in love with. ❤️
