How your money makes a difference

Pudding

Pudding is a Shihtzu cross who was found abandoned in Plymouth on Christmas Eve and nursed back to health thanks to the help of our kind supporters.

Dotty

Dotty came into the Shelter in 2019 as one of an unwanted litter of kittens. She and her siblings were upset and distressed by the move, unable to understand why their lives were being turned upside down. Sadly this happens only too often, with people not taking the right precautions to ensure their cats are spayed or neutered at a young age.

Gypsy

When we met Gypsy she had sustained a serious injury to her back leg. We were worried this injury would mean she would lose the use of her leg. Her owners could not afford to operate so signed her over to us.

Bear

Bear came to Little Valley when his previous owner no longer had enough time for him. Unfortunately, many of the rabbits we care for and rehome come from similar backgrounds as people take them on not realising the time and commitment required to care for one.

Pudding was in a terrible state when he arrived with us – his coat was so matted around his legs and face that he couldn’t see out of his right eye, his nails were overgrown and he was covered in fleas.

“It bought a tear to my eye when I was taking him to the Shelter,” recalled RSPCA inspector Sarah Morris. “He must have been terrified, hungry and so uncomfortable, just left out in the dark, wind and rain.”

He proved a huge hit with our staff and volunteers who lavished him with love and affection while ensuring he received the veterinary care he required for a number of medical problems.

Happily, Pudding lived out his days in a new home, where he was loved dearly and well looked after. People like you got him there.

Here at Little Valley, with the help of our kind supporters, we advocate routine spaying to minimise the number of cats and kittens being put through unnecessary stresses.

Dotty's story ends well though, as she was quickly rehomed and is now settled in her new life. She's a happy little cat—a wonderful combination of affectionate, playful and a little mad according to her new owners!! She enjoys being in the garden indulging in her favourite afternoon activity of bug catching.

Of course, not all unwanted kittens are this lucky. Your donation can make all the difference.

We requested urgent help from our supporters and thanks to the unbelievable kindness from people like you were able to raise the £1,200 needed to operate on young Gypsy. Her surgery was successful and she's now enjoying a happy life in a new home and causing mischief with the help of her speedy four paws!

After three weeks at the shelter, and plenty of fuss from the small animal team who quickly fell for sweet Bear, he found a new home with a neutered female for company.

Rabbits are wonderful, life enriching pets, living to around ten years old. We think more people should be made aware of the time needed to care for one so that less end up in rescue shelters such as Little Valley. Your money will allow us to work harder to educate people about the importance of research before choosing a pet.
