If anyone has spare pasture please give a thought to all the ponies that are losing their homes in the present economic climate as people cannot pay the livery charges any more. There are still other expenses like hay in the winter and vets bills occasionally but all the sanctuaries are full to capacity including us and it really is depressing not to be able to do more as there is such a need.
The other animal that we seem to be inundated with is Persian cats. They make wonderful pets but their coats are frequently neglected and they come to us in a parlous state frequently needing their whole coat to be shaved off as they are so badly matted. At the sanctuary www.abcanimalsanctuary.co.uk we brush them for a mere 5 minutes a day which is all that is needed to keep their coats in perfect condition so please contact us if you feel you are able to offer a suitable home. They love going outside but also make good indoor cats as they have very calm personalities.
