Tabitha
Tabitha is thought to be around 2 years old and has had a bit of a rough time. She is now feeling loads better and interacting well. Tabitha would benefit from being bonded with another female. Tabitha would probably be better in a quieter home without young children (although visiting would be fine). Older children…

Fern is 4 years old and has had years of abuse living in the tiniest of hutches and being used to breed litter after littler. This has taken the toll on her health. and we’ve been very worried about. She clearly wasn’t well and we had to postpone her spaying so she could have a…
Read More23/10/21 Penelope will be off to her new home soon
Penelope we believe is around 2 years old. She is more whippet size than lurcher. She came in in very poor condition, underweight, dull coat and recently had pups by the look of her. She has had time to recover and look at her now. She is a bundle of fun, energetic and enthusiastic around…
Read MoreDomino
Domino was born around March 2020. She appears to be a sweet girl but is said to prefer not to be around, particularly male cats. She is a bit shy at first but we are already finding her looking for a bit of a fuss. As we find out more about her we will update…
Read MoreTeaspoon
Teaspoon is around 14 weeks old and has always lived outside. He has recently come into kennels and is much more relaxed when being handled. However we would want to rehome him to a home that will have the time and patience to allow him to adjust to being a pet cat. He could not…
Read More16/10/12 Dash will be off to his new home next week.
Dash was found as a stray and it was clear she’d been living rough for some time. No owner has come forward so she is now looking for a new home. She can be very loving with a lovely purr but can be wary of you touching her sides sometimes. We think Dash might like…

We have the following Dutch Rabbits looking for new homes. All rabbits must be rehomed as part of a pair or go with an already neutered rabbit as a partner. Some of these rabbits are, recently, neutered, while others will need to be a bit older before they can be done. Sage is 2 years…

Read MoreHarry
Harry is a characterful guinea around 2 years old. He is longer haired and doesn’t mind being handled. He can occasionally be temperamental and certainly likes things his own way. Harry is quite confident but has been very dominant around other guineas so sadly will probably need to find a home of his owner where…

Charlie is a timid boy who is around 2 years old. He is ok being picked up but will need time to settle in a new home. He may bond with an easy going male but he has been bullied in the past so it would need to be the right match Charlie has had…

Lennox was born in 2014. He is very much a bull in a china shop but as you can see from the video below learns very quickly. He is very people friendly although we have picked up he has a tendency to mouth so would not be suited to children under 10. He is also…

Read MoreShadow
Shadow is just a youngster we understand had some housetraining issues in his home. He has only recently been neutered and this together with being an only cat will pay dividends. He is an affectionate boy who is fairly confident but we feel that despite his bravado he lacks a bit of confidence. A gentle…
Read MoreScooby
Scooby a large boy said to be a great dane cross but is more of a large lurcher. Scooby was born in November 2016. He is a big boy with great enthusiasm for life. Scooby would benefit from having some purpose in his life other than just causing mayhem. He is a boisterous boy who…

Read MoreBiscuit
Biscuit is a medium sized cross who is under two. Please note he is not a border terrier type and has staffie in him. When he came in it is fair to say he was a grumpy boy when he came in he did have a reasonable excuse as his skin was very sore. Once…

Read MoreWhen is a stray cat not a stray cat?
Cats are naturally wanderers as far as 10 miles, especially if unneutered. Cats, when they visit other houses, are always ‘starving’ and are never fussy eaters (I once knew a cat that would only eat turkey at home but went and raided the neighbours cat food bowl every day). So what can you do if…
Read MoreDay 648 and Christmas came early
I think I speak for all the staff and volunteers at the kennels that if we had one wish for Christmas, much as we love him, it would be for Archie to not spend it with us at kennels but with a new family. Well yesterday 648 days after coming into kennels our Archie finally…

Read MoreAnd still they keep coming in
There appears to be a never ending stream of kittens being found. This morning two more came in from the Duns area. Very pretty with sharp claws and teeth. We’re sure they’ll come round as soon as they realise we’re a source of food. These two are probably around the 12 weeks mark so still…
Read MoreAnother busy Saturday
We’ve another busy Saturday ahead with 14 animals off to their new homes. Fortunately a lot of them are cats as we have a huge waiting list of cats to come in. We often get asked if we are sad when the animals leave us. That’s a difficult question, it is after all what we’re…
Read MoreThe wonder of mother nature
Yesterday we took in three kittens about 3 or 4 weeks old that were found by the road side. Apparently healthy, and certainly with healthy appetites. Lucille had just finished feeding her 5 so we though we’d see if she would help us out. She wasn’t a natural mother when her kittens were born, she…
Read MorePlant Sale preparations
Our plant sale is always very popular and Karen has been planting seeds since before the last one. Her long suffering husband has decided the only way forward is a poly tunnel as they have no more window sills, or space for that matter in their house and garden. So today a massive 25 x…

So today one of the vets from Galedin will be down pulling their hair out. We have 15 cat vaccinations, 8 dog vaccinations and an additional 6 check ups. Of course to help matters nearly all the cats are black or black and white just to complicate matters. They are all microchipped and it will…
