Chickens

Chickens

From time to time we have ex-battery hens looking for pet homes. You may be lucky and get an egg or two, but they are first and foremost family pets. Wendy, head of sanctuary would like to hear from you if you are able to offer a home. If nothing is available at the time, she will keep your name on file.

Mice

Mice

We currently have many friendly male mice seeking new homes. They are all very inquisitive and love fuss and interaction so please if anyone is interested in giving some loveable characters a new home, please contact small animals.

Beano & Dandy

Beano & Dandy

Beano and Dandy are a pair of male chinchillas who are about 5 years old. Beano and Dandy are a very strange pair of chinchillas as they show a clear dislike of people by ‘barking’ at anyone who goes near them. Beano and Dandy may have had a bead experience with people so need a home with experienced chinchilla owners who could work on this problem but will give them the time to come round if it is needed. For more information please contact small animals.

Curtis & Thomas

Curtis & Thomas

Curtis and Thomas are a pair of male degus who are 4 and 2 years old. Curtis is a very friendly degu who comes up and takes food from you and will often sit on your knee while he eats it. Thomas is a very shy boy who we have been working with to build his confidence to which he has made lots of progress. Curtis and Thomas need a home that will carry on building their confidence and will give them lots of attention. For more information please contact small animals.

Hoppity & Carrots

Hoppity & Carrots

Hoppity and Carrots are two neutered bucks who are about 5-6 years old. Hoppity and Carrots are a very special pair of rabbits as Carrots is blind so Hoppity acts as his big brother and shows him where to go. Despite this disadvantage Carrots is a very strong willed rabbit often exploring his surroundings with little care or worry. Hoppity is a very quiet, sweet boy who as soon as you meet him makes you want to tuck him up in your arms. Hoppity and Carrots a amazing pair of rabbits, that although they are older are still interested in living the rest of their lives to the fullest. Due to Carrots blindness they need a home with older children or adults and preferably experienced owners that will have understanding of how much consideration is needed in caring for them. For more information please contact small animals.

Simba

Simba

Simba (the name given by cattery staff) was brought into us a stray from the Hailsham area on the 11th January. He is extremely friendly and in good condition. He was wearing a distinctive collar but sadly with no owner details. He is not microchipped. He is black, long haired and approximately 3 -5 years old. It is possible that he may have got into a car so may not be from this area. Simba will be put up for adoption if no owner comes forward. Please contact Raystede urgently if you think he is your cat.

Mowgli

Mowgli

I am a very affectionate and loving boy. I am 6-7 years old and have come in as I was getting rather too much attention from a young child in my last home. I have a beautiful long coat which requires daily attention but because I am so friendly I'm sure that grooming me would not be a problem and my purpose in life is to see how much food I can eat and how much fuss I can get. Please choose me.

Georgie

Georgie

I’m a 6 year old female. This is my second visit to Raystede due to having urinary problems in my last home. I now have to be fed on a urinary diet as my bladder is thicker than it should be. I'm a happy cat and like attention I can be a bit nervous at times so am looking for a quiet home with no children or other animals.

Loulou

Loulou

I am a 2 year old female. Sadly my owner had to go into a nursing home so I was brought to Raystede to be rehomed. I find things a little scary at times and can swipe out so I would be best in a home without children or other cats. I want to be friendly but I like attention on my own terms.

Maggie & Jack

Maggie & Jack

Maggie and Jack are a neutered buck and spayed doe who are 6 years old. They are looking for the quiet life but still have lots of energy to dig and eat grass all day so would like a large garden to feed their habbits.

Pandora & Nimrod

Pandora & Nimrod

Pandora and Nimrod are neutered buck and spayed doe who are 4 and 2 years old. Pandora and Nimrod are a very shy pair of rabbits who can be very reluctant in interacting with people they don’t know. Once they get used to people it becomes clear that they each have very individual charecters and are a very charming pair of rabbits to watch and interact with. They preferably need a adult only home or one with older children as they are very shy and are not easly one over but once they like someone they will be your friends for life.

Tawnie & Bhindi

Tawnie & Bhindi

Tawnie and Bhindi are a neutered buck and spayed doe who are 4 years old. Tawnie and Bhindie have been at the centre for some time and have been sadly overlooked due to the fact they are the same colour as wild rabbits and are a little shy. These two rabbits have a lot of character and will be a lovely addition to any family if they can overlook their colour and be patient to overcome their shyness.

Lilly

Lilly

My name is Lilly and I am 4 years old. I came in after my owner passed away. I shared a close bond with my owner but I have become a little withdrawn and I am shy of new people. Although I am well looked after here, I am not coping well in the cattery environment and spend time on my own. I do enjoy a tickle on the chin but on my own terms but I will become more sociable once settled in a new home. I am looking for a quiet, patient home with people who will allow me to be independant and create a new bond with them in my own time. I am now the cattery's longest staying resident. Please give me a chance and choose me.

Moose

1 year old Husky. This handsome, chatty young dog needs a home with knowledge of his breed types behavioural characteristics and able to provide for his physical and mental needs within the accommodation and lifestyle.

China

18 month old Staffie.Pretty china can ba a little shy but quickly starts to enjoy cuddles from new friends. she is generally social with other dogs and could live with older children. she has not been tested with cats. with the breeds reputation for sound temperament pretty china shows all the makings of of a faithful companion who enjoys playing rather than being tough. China's good on her lead and in spite of some provocation in the past China hasent responded when other dogs have been rather cheeky or unfriendly. China can be bashful but once she gets to know you she loves cuddles and is a steady sweet girl. China's gentle personality could make her a good friend for a male dog, help her settle well with older children and make her a lovely companion for you.
