We do NOT have this virus at Raystede. We are still open and welcome visitors to the rest of the site.
Adopting through a rehoming centre can take a little extra time and patience, but the rewards are worth it.
Adopting an animal is a big decision, have you thought about what is involved? Take a look at our care guides to learn how to prepare for, and look after your new animal, read our adoption process and submit your application online.
Although they may not be shown on our website, we often have cockatiels, budgies, canaries, and other finches looking for new homes. Please complete an application form if you are interested in adopting smaller aviary birds; please note that all birds need to be kept in an aviary – we don’t rehome to caged homes.
Our parrots and cockatoos usually stay with us for life due to their long lifespans and ongoing medical issues. If you have the facilities to care for a larger bird, please contact us at info@raystede.org.
Once you have registered with us, there's no need to submit another application form. To follow up on an existing application, please email us at info@raystede.org.

When Albert arrived at Raystede, he was nervous, underweight and suffering with painful patches of dry skin and sore joints.
At Raystede, we don’t just rehome animals, we rehabilitate them first, giving the best chance at a happy and healthy life. From healthcare to behavioural therapy, every step of their journey is carefully guided so they can trust again.
You can make a difference. A gift today will help make sure we can continue to care for all our animals, giving them the love and care they deserve.
