Pinky and Perky came in on the 17th of March.  They originally came from a multi-dog household and were quite nervous when they first arrived. They are both affectionate, happy girls once they know you but Perky can sometimes be shy at first.  Pinky and Perky are playful with toys and ok when groomed. They walk well on the lead and enjoy their walks. Pinky is good with other dogs and Perky is ok once she knows them but can be unsure so would benefit from further socialisation. They are looking for an experienced, adult only home.

Maria came in on the 14th of March as she was unwanted. She is a very friendly, lively girl who is good when groomed but doesn't respond to any commands yet so will need further training. She is good with other dogs but has not been tested with cats yet. Maria is a new arrival who is still being assessed.

Layla came in on the 14th of March as she was unwanted. She is a friendly, lively girl who is still very much behaves like a pup! Layla can be a bit panicky around her collar area so may have had a bad experience in the past.  She is looking for a patient owner to help her overcome this. Layla is good with other dogs but has not been tested with cats yet. She is looking for an active, experienced home without young children. Layla is a new arrival who is still being assessed.

Molly came in on the 15th of March as she was unwanted.  Her previous owners had only had her for a couple of months but felt they could not cope as she is deaf. Molly is a sweet, friendly girl who is ok when groomed and enjoys fuss and attention.  She does not understand any commands at the moment so will need some training. Molly is ok with other dogs but needs a home without cats. She will be looking for a patient owner and may benefit from living with another dog that she can learn from. Molly is a new arrival who is still being assessed.

Dandy and Mimi came into the shelter for rehoming via an inspector as their owner had too many rabbits.  Dandy is a 3 year old male, Netherland dwarf albino rabbit, Mimi is a 4 year old, black lionhead cross dwarf rabbit.  They have both been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. We are looking for a special home for our little pair, Mimi has had to have dental work in the past so has had her front teeth removed, she is coping very well and eating well.  Dandy is fine but he is very small and delicate.  We would ideally like them to be house rabbits as they are so small and they do not like the cold or the wind!!. They are a sweet pair and love each other.  We are looking for a home for them together.

Sooty came into the shelter for rehoming as his owner was ill and could no longer care for him.  He is a 2 year old male, black Netherland dwarf rabbit, he has been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Sooty is a very shy rabbit and a quite little boy.  He is very clean in his pen and always goes in his tray.  He loves toys and will pick them up and throw them about in his pen.  He is not used to being picked up.  But he does like to be stroked and hand fed.  We are looking for a calm home for Sooty where he can play with his toys and be spoilt.  Ideally he would benefit from a neutered female rabbit for company but she must be gentle.  We are not sure if he has seen another rabbit for a while. So  we would consider him going on his own inside, where he could have people for company

Dotty came into the shelter from our sussex north branch.  She was taken in as her owners had too many rabbits.  There were 5 rabbits in total, taken in for rehoming. Dotty is a grey and white lop with brown ears.   She has been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.  We have aged her about 1-2 years old.  She has lots of energy and likes to re arrange her pen as soon as we have made it tidy.  Dotty would benefit from going outside and exploring a run or a secure garden.  She will need to go with a neutered male rabbit for company  

Cinnamon came into the shelter as her owner was very ill and could no longer care for her.  She is a crossbreed rabbit 1-2 years, she has been spayed, microchipped and vaccinated. Cinnamon is a sweet friendly rabbit, she can be picked up and stroked but we do know she can’t live with another rabbit.  She has had a bad experience in the past with a male rabbit.  So we are looking for an indoor home for Cinnamon where she can be part of the family, with a chance of going outside for a run in the garden supervised.  She likes treats and her greens , she is very clean and always use's her tray

Gulliver came in on the 11th of March via another rescue as he was an unclaimed stray. Gulliver is a sweet, friendly boy who is good when groomed, walks well on the lead, needs to learn how to play with toys and would benefit from a little training. Gulliver is very sociable with other dogs but needs a home without cats. He is a lovely gentle boy who could live with children 8 years or older (possibly younger if they are dog experienced).

Bodie came in on the 11th of March via another rescue as he was an unclaimed stray. Bodie is a sweet boy who is a little shy in kennels but is friendly and affectionate once he knows you.  He is good when groomed, needs to learn how to play with toys and would benefit from a little training. Bodie is friendly with other dogs but can be a bit unsure of new ones until he has met them.  He needs a home without cats or small animals. He is looking for a fairly active home and could live with older children who are used to dogs.

Ebony is a friendly, chatty older girl. She came to us via the Inspectorate as her owner was being evicted. She likes us but would love to get back to a home soon. She is now up to date on flea & worm treatment and vaccinations. Ebony is black and short-haired. Ebony is such a lovely cat. She is missing a fair few teeth, and has a cute, wonky ear - otherwise you'd have no idea she is over ten years old. She is looking for a home with at least a small garden, but we'd like to see her relaxing safely indoors most days. Ebony would like to be the only cat in her new home, so she can receive all your love and attention. She could live with calm, older children who are used to cats. If you have COMPLETED A HOME VISIT and think you may have the right home for Ebony, please speak to a member of staff about meeting her.  

Fred is a lovely, white & black, short-haired gent who came to us recently via after being collected as a stray. He has received some necessary treatment from the vets and is recuperating wonderfully! He has recently been neutered & microchipped, and is now up to date on vaccination, flea and worm treatment. Fred is a very sweet cat who is starting to really enjoy sitting in the sunshine and having a fuss. Therefore, we think Fred needs a garden and a warm lap! He could probably live with children who are used to cats, but will need to be the only cat in the home. He's had to scrap with other kitties whilst living as a stray, and deserves to feel safe and secure at home from now on. More info to come… If you have COMPLETED A HOME VISIT and think you may have the right home for Fred, please speak to a member of staff about meeting him.  

Meet Missy, a sweet, shy girl who is settling in. She came to us via the Inspectorate as her owner was being evicted. She will be ready for her new home after we complete some necessary veterinary care, including spaying, microchipping, and dental work. She is now up to date on flea and worm treatment. Missy is white & tortie, and is short-haired. She is a lovely cat who is looking for a home with a garden. We think Missy could possibly live with another cat as she did so in her previous home, and could live with calm children who are used to cats. More info to come... If you have COMPLETED A HOME VISIT and think you may have the right home for Missy, please speak to a member of staff about meeting her.  

Lolly came in on the 9th of March as she was not getting along with her sibling in the home. She is a friendly, affectionate girl who knows sit, paw and her name on command, is housetrained, travels well, is good when groomed, ok when left for short periods and loves playing with toys, especially a squeaky ball! Lolly is ok with other dogs when walked but does not like to be pestered and would probably prefer to be the only dog in the home.  She needs a home without cats. Lolly is an active girl who needs an energetic family.  She could live with children 8 years or older.

Logan came in on the 5th of March via another rescue. He is a friendly, bouncy boy who was a little shy at first but soon came out of his shell!  He knows sit and his name on command, is ok when groomed (although a little wriggly!) and loves playing with toys, especially a ball. He would benefit from further socialisation with other dogs as he can be a little excitable at the moment. Logan is looking for an active, experienced owner who is prepared to put time into his training. He could live with children 12 years or older.  

Otis came in on the 24th of February as part of an unwanted litter. He is looking for a rather special home as he has ‘aortic stenosis’  (narrowing of aortic valve leading from the heart).  Until he has another scan in 6 months time we are not sure how this will affect him.  The possibilities are either it could stay the same into old age or he could have rapid onset heart disease leading to a short life. Otis is a very friendly, lively pup who does not know anything is wrong with him! He is cuddly and affectionate and likes to play. Otis is good with other dogs and could probably live with a confident cat who is used to dogs. Could you offer this special boy a home?

Aspen and Ember came in for rehoming from one of our inspectors, the owner had too many rabbits. Aspen and Ember are brothers, they are both male lop rabbits, both 10 months.  They have been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. These boys are a great cheeky pair, typical brothers into mischief, where one goes the other follows, they always go together.   They would be better outside so they can burn of their energy.  They love food time and try to help themselves to greens out of the bowl before you put it in.  They are friendly and like being stroked.  We are looking for a home for them together

Bluebell came into the shelter from our sussex north branch.  She was taken in as her owners had too many rabbits.  There were 5 rabbits in total, taken in for rehoming. Bluebell is a grey and white lop, she has been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.  We have aged her about 1-2 years old.  She has lots of energy and likes to re arrange her pen as soon as we have made it tidy.  She is a busy rabbit and always likes to be doing something, playing with her toys, re arranging the pen or running around outside.  Bluebell would benefit from going outside and exploring a run or a secure garden.  She will need to go with a neutered male rabbit for company  

Austin came in on the 5th of March via another rescue.  He was abandoned and found in a garden with another dog. He is a very affectionate, friendly boy who enjoys attention and cuddles and has lots of energy for his age! Austin knows sit, down, paw and his name on command, is good when groomed, walks well on the lead and enjoys playing with toys. He is sociable with other dogs but has not been tested with cats yet. Austin smiles when he greets you and still bounces around like a young pup!  He could live with children 8 years or older.

My name is Bella and I need a family that will enjoy my big terrier personality! Bella is a really cheeky, busy little dog that likes to react first with lots of barking and think about things later! She needs people who understand and accept the terrier traits she has and will provide long term commitment to continue her training. She is not keen on strangers, children, other dogs or cats, she is house trained, used to travelling in the car (though is excitable) and can be left alone for appropriate periods of time. Bella will require a particular home environment so her reactive behaviours can be managed and consideration needs to be given to areas she will be exercised. Once Bella decides she likes people then she is great fun to be with, she is affectionate, playful, mischievous and manageable, though also generally has a lot to say about everything! She's just started on a training programme so we will be able to update progress. BELLA IS AT RAYSTEDE.  FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT THEM ON (01825) 840252  Email:info@raystede.org

Anoushka is a Roborovski hamster and came in to the shelter as a stray.  She was found by a bin.  She is fully grown we believe.   We are looking for a home with someone who is used to their breed.  She is very quick and agile, due to this we would recommend she went to live in a secure glass tank.  If you are experienced in Roborovski hamster please contact the shelter for more information.

Also known as African Soft Fur Rats. We have 4 female multi-mammate mice. They were removed from a home by an Inspector due to poor living conditions. These are exotic pets. We are looking for a home for them together and we believe them to be about a year old. They can be picked up and handled in time. Ideally their new owners need to have experience with rodents and/or mice, as they can be escape artists! If you are interested in them, please do your research on these little girls. They must have a large, secure cage/tank. We currently have them in a large, metal chinchilla cage. Please ask a member of the Small Animal staff for more information.

Bertie and Moria came into the shelter for rehoming as their owner was moving.  They have come down from our London branch of the RSPCA.  Bertie is a grey, male,  Netherland dwarf rabbit 4 years old.  Moria is grey and white female Netherland dwarf rabbit 3 years old.  They have both been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. We are looking for a home for them together.  They are a sweet pair and Moria especially likes to come over for a fuss and to get first pickings of food or treats.  Bertie is a little more reserved and will hide at first but once he trust’s you he can be very sweet.  Due to Bertie being shy we would recommend they went to older children or an adult only home.

Bruce came in on the 22nd of January via an Inspector from an unsuitable home. He is a very active, energetic young lad who knows sit and his name on command but would benefit from ongoing training.  Bruce is ok when groomed and loves to play with toys, in fact he is ball obsessed and would play all day! He walks well with other dogs but would benefit from continuing his socialisation skills and needs to be the only pet in the home. Bruce is looking for an active home, preferably with someone that has terrier experience.  He could live with children 8 years or older.   

Crispin is a softie with a lot of personality! He joined us in December after being collected as a stray. After some TLC and time with us he is quite ready to find his new home - he is our current longest stay and we don't know why someone hasn't fallen for him yet! Crispin will need experienced cat owners who are willing to give him love and patience - he's friendlier by the day, but is still sometimes a bit nervous. Crispin is very chatty and likes to remind you when he's ready for some treats or food. He's enjoying his climbing tree and sitting in the sunshine. He would like to live in a quiet place with access to a garden, and no young children or dogs. Crispin will need to be the only cat in his new home. We think he is about 2-3 years old. He's been neutered and microchipped, as well as given flea & worm treatment. Crispin is black and short-haired. If you have a COMPLETED HOME VISIT and think you might have the home Crispin has been waiting for, please speak to a member of staff about getting to know him....

Please say hello to Jeff and Hamlet. They are the last in a group of 13 cats that came to us via the Inspectors from an unsuitable home. They are not feral, in fact they seem to like us indeed, but are not very used to handling and cuddles. When they first arrived they were very shy and nervous, but they have all made great progress. Hamlet is still a bit shy. Jeff is learning to enjoy a chin rub, and is growing in confidence everyday. Their friends who have found homes already are doing wonderfully. We would love for them to all find patient, experienced homes when they are ready. They will need calm homes with adults only (or older children who are used to cats) and access to a garden. They are spayed/neutered and microchipped - and are now up-to-date on vaccinations, and flea & worm treatments. If you have COMPLETED A HOME VISIT and think you may have the right home for one of these special cats, please speak to a member of staff about meeting them. Pictured is Jeff. Hamlet did not want his picture taken! Both are petite, black, and short-haired.

Dotti and Margo came in for rehoming as their owner was moving and could not take them.  They are both Netherland dwarf cross lionhead rabbits, both 6 months old.  We have neutered, vaccinated and microchipped them. Dotti and Margo are a sweet pair of sisters.  They are not used so being picked up so would be better with older children.  They love veg time and get along really well grooming and cuddling up to each other.  They will need grooming on their mane and trouser area by their new owner.  We are looking for a home for them together.  They have only lived inside so would need to go into a shed or be inside for this winter.

Arial and Mini came in for rehoming as their owner could no longer keep them.  They came in with their brothers Rodney and Fred.  Arial and Mini are both female rabbits 6 months old.  They have been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. We are looking for a home for them together, they will need an adult home or a home with older children.  Arial is a dominant rabbit and will let you know if you are doing something she is not happy with.  They both love veg time and to explore.  They will need space so Mini can get away from Arial,  when Arial has the knock!!.  They are a lovely pair but have not been handled enough when they were young so are looking for patient understanding owners
