Hi everyone - just to let you know that there are gremlins in the system and unfortunately our phones are currently down 🧌

We're still open as usual so feel free to drop down and see us! 😻

Who doesn't like a bit of free money?!
When you're dropping off donations and you're a UK tax-payer, please sign up for Gift Aid. It helps us raise more well-needed funds for our charity, but it doesn't cost you a bean.
What's not to love? 😍

Chilli is wondering if you've picked up one of our calendars yet? He's one of 12 amazing animals featured for 2026. Now on sale so what are you waiting for?

We're very short of winter clothes. If you're having a sort-out or have some to donate, please drop them off when we're open.
