Mia came into the shelter from our Putney hospital as a stray found in the garden. Mia is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Mia is about 1 year old.
We did home Mia recently but the other male rabbit in the home just would not accept her all the time and it was making Mia and him stressed. So unfortunately she was returned. We are now looking for a home with a calm male rabbit who has bonded before and will accept Mia in his life.
Mia is a sweet rabbit and likes strokes and treats. She would be best with older children as she is not keen on loud noises

Over 3000 animals are cared for at the Shelter each year, including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, reptiles, foxes, badgers, hedgehogs, chickens, ferrets and various birds, both wild and domestic. Facilities are available for almost every animal until it is ready for
re-homing or release. Please take a look at all the animals that currently need re-homing, as well as lots more information on boarding, donating, events, volunteering, and lots more!

Sapphire and Ollie came in on the 4th of September via an Inspector as their owner was going into hospital. They have come from a multi-dog household and have lived with various siblings but have probably not seen much of the outside world.

Pongo came in for rehoming from one of our inspectors. He was removed as his owner wasn't looking after him. He is about 1 year old, we have neutered, vaccinated him and microchipped him.
Pongo is a nice cheeky ferret with alot of character he will need an experienced home. He is a big ferret 1.5kg, and is still young so can be naughty sometimes. He will need to go with other ferrets so he can play with them and use up his energy. If you have had ferrets before and are experienced in handling ferrets please contact the shelter

Imp and Elf came into the shelter via the police. They had been abandoned and the police found them. They have been looked after and were in a clean cage with food and water.
Imp and Elf are Russian dwarf hamsters, Imp is the grey one and Elf the grey and white one. we believe them to be brothers as they are happy to live together. We are guessing they are adults and fully grown. They are sweet and can be handled but we would recommend they didn’t go with young children as they are so quick and very small. We are looking for a home with people experienced in Russian dwarfs.

Ella came to us from the rspca in London where hopefully she can have a fresh start. She’s a bit of a character, likes fuss and a tickle, but when she’s in the mood! Ella isn’t keen on other cats as she likes being the queen of the house and unfortunately she also doesn’t like children. It seems Ella has had a bit of a hard life, but hopefully with the right person, she will settle and be very happy. (Will need a garden)

He is a friendly, affectionate boy who knows sit and his name on command, is housetrained, travels well in a car, is ok when groomed and enjoys playing with toys, especially a squeaky.
Rupert has been isolated from other dogs in his previous home so is very unsure and frightened around them, we are currently working on his socialisation but he will need an experienced owner to continue this.
He could live with children 8 years or older who are used to dogs and will need a garden he can run around in. Rupert needs a home without cats or small animals.

Hector came to us because he was an un-neutered male who was living rough and being fed by a kind member of the public who eventually managed to catch him. He is a friendly boy, but on his terms. This should improve as his testosterone reduces! So will need a patient home with no children or other cats. (Will need a garden)

He is a friendly, very lively boy who knows sit, down, beg and his name on command, is good when groomed and loves playing with toys.

He is looking for a very active, experienced owner who will provide him with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation.

Maggie May was brought in by an inspector, she needed shaving as her fur was very matted! Maggie is a real character, she seems to prefer women, and isn’t keen on other animals, so will need a home on her own. She is very sweet tho, and loves sitting on your lap. Once her fur grows back, she will need regular grooming. (Would like a garden)

Maisie came in for rehoming as a stray rabbit, she was found in some ones garden. Maisie is a female she is now neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. We think she is about a year old.
We feel Maisie has had a really bad start in life. She is very shy of people and panic's when you try to pick her up. She is getting more used to us and we can now stroke her and hand feed her. We try not to pick her up too much here, so she can get used to humans being nice. Due to this we feel Maisie would need very understanding owners, who are prepared to take things slowly and calmly for her to get used to them. She would probably be better as a house rabbit so she does not need to be picked up to be cleaned out. Maisie could possibly live on her own as a house rabbit. We would not recommend she went with children.
We need cat food urgently!
We are always in need of cat and kitten food in jelly, tin or sachets and Chappie or jelly dog food. We’d be most grateful if you can spare any food, please bring them to the shelter.
Home visitors wanted
We need home visitors, especially in the East Grinstead, Hailsham, Heathfield and Herstmonceux areas. If you are interested, please contact us on 01273 554218.
