A new home in a turtle (and tortoise) sanctuary for Nolan, our angry Sawback Turtle! š
Category: Animal Rescues
These are my animal rescues with the Animal Ambulance. My mission: to seek out new and old life-forms in distress and go out with my bald head and other team mates and rescue them.

Heartbreaking shift
A cat in need of a home and a dog in trouble.
A Handshake from a Coughing Hedgehog
We didn’t get there in time to save the cat. It’s as simple as that š A pigeon with an uncertain future and the timid title hedgehog. (And add a pigeon, because why not?!)
Picky Rescues
A shift with a rabbit and birds that peck the hand that helps them!
Paper Cats and Pigeons
It’s not wise to let young kittens outside unsupervised because they’re not street smart and they’re small size makes them especially vulnerable to threats.
No Numbers Game
Numerically not much, but what are numbers compared to emotion and quality of life?!
Cats and Chaos
A sad day for cat owners, and a finder who couldn’t be one.
Time Flies with Hedgehog Flies
A busy shift with too many open wounds and flies š
In Honour of this Mouse
An enjoyable shift with a large variety of animals in need. But it was this little mouse who pattered through my mind.
Doorway Deliveries
I left my cat at the door so finders could meet us at theirs.
Please Call Ahead
A hedgehog in a tangle, a thirsty baby magpie and lots of baby birds falling out of nests. No wonder the finders wanted us to call ahead with an ETA!
Raising a Hare from the Grass and Cherry Picking with Pigeons
I made a mistake because hares, of course, can jump! – and quite easily when their back legs are free!
