When we got there, the cat wasn’t. And when we got back to base, there were too many adorable kittens with their mother. How is “too many” possible?
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.

Cat with(out) a Missing Owner
First duo shift with an interesting rescue for all the wrong reasons.
Strength and Agility from a Baby Bird
A straight-forward shift, but one bird thought otherwise!
Cuddly Cat
One of my most memorable shifts! the co-driver was an absolute delight to work with, the rescues were interesting and the animals we helped melted my heart!
A Hug from a Hedgehog!
He drooped over my hand; his stomach was warm and it felt like he was giving me a sort of tummy-hand-thank-you hug! This really made my day! 🙂
A Pigeon, a Swallow and a Rescue Centre for Cats
A dirty pigeon, a goose tangled in fishing tackle and a rescue centre full of abandoned animals. The road to my future becomes clearer.
Several Birds in the Hand
Several birds in the hand and working hard to get them back in the bush!
A Bi-Polar Shift (Pole 2)
A bonus half shift to rescue a moorhen with a broken leg – and more!
A Bi-Polar Shift (Pole 1)
A shift with mixed feelings and 2 different sets of colleagues who are polar opposites!
A cat and 2 birds
It seems odd stuffing a bird into a box, closing the lid, putting it into in a locker and then slamming a locking bolt for good measure…
First Mission
My calm voice didn’t do it – the net came and the cat went. Where did she go?
First Day
Red tape and a yellow jacket. But where are the animals?
