Plans are great aren’t they? So are cats at not being held if they don’t want to be, and I’ve got scratches and blood stains to prove it. And no cat.
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.

A Cat, A Bat and A Prickly Ball
A long but exciting shift today with a daytime baby hedgehog, a tiny bat and a stray(?) but tame cat.
Pigeon Day with a Rabbit
A flurry of flapping wings and fluttering feathers, but is it the rescue centre first, or the vet?
Sleeping Squirrel
A squirrel enters eternal sleep whilst a hedgehog struggles to hibernate.
A Real Chicken this time!
After the Thai chicken fiasco from my last shift, I bring you a real chicken rescue!
Nothing to do with a Thai Chicken
You’d think there was a hedgehog (possibly 2) and 2 cats, but it turned out to be just a Thai chicken.
Trying and Crying Hard for Kitty
A 10 week old kitten found in a bad way with no mother.
Bull in a China Shop or a Dog in a Stable?
Forget the cat among the pigeons – here we had a dog among the horses!
Hair of the Dog
My first dog rescue! An unattended American Staffordshire dog was left on a lead by a supermarket, and had been there for at least an hour.
Drive to a Featherless Friend
This little thing looked so vulnerable I was afraid I’d injure him just by touching him.
Bat Immobile
A cat with a lost penchant for cars , a fly-away pigeon in trouble with the authorities and a missed superhero moment.
Cats in a Box
A sick cat and a box. Another box and the same cat. A different cat in the same box. An empty box. And it’s the wrong box. Confused? So were we!
