Cornwall Branch
Every animal that comes into our care is fondly remembered, but some hold an extra special place in our hearts.
Please support us by sponsoring a kennel or cat pod so that we can continue to help animals like Oliver and Whisky.
Oliver
The story of dedication to an unwanted cat.
Oliver came to our rescue centre as a stray in 2023 and was in urgent need of medical help.
His eyes were completely closed and infected, and it was clear that he was in immense pain. The staff tried everything to help Oliver to feel comfortable in his new surroundings, but he remained terrified and anxious due to his medical needs.
A local vet determined that Oliver needed entropion surgery (a condition where the eyelashes curl into the eyes causing irritation and eventually blindness). After an incredible fundraiser to save Oliver’s eyes, he was able to have the much needed surgery required to make him pain-free. He soon melted into one exceptionally affectionate cat and, not long after, he found his forever home.
Sponsoring a cat pod allows cats like Oliver, who need that extra bit of support and care during their darkest hours, to receive the care they need and deserve.
Whisky
A story of a Daschund who was so close to losing his life.
Whisky came to us after his previous owner asked for him to be put to sleep at a local vets. Thankfully, the vets refused and reached out to us instead. We of course welcomed him to our rescue, but once we met him, we became very concerned about his health.
Whisky could barely walk on his back legs and had a prolapsed lens in his left eye. His teeth were mostly all rotten and, like most dogs of his breed, he had issues with his spine. Despite all of those health concerns, Whisky proved what resilience dogs can have. Within a few weeks in a foster home, Whisky’s back legs started to improve and he was well enough that we could remove his damaged eye and many of his rotten teeth.
Whisky continued to improve and, after nearly 5 months in our care, he was well enough to be adopted. He now lives a wonderful life in Cornwall in his forever home. Sponsoring a kennel allows dogs like Whisky, who have faced neglect, to be given a second chance by our charity.
