Sponsor Frankie - Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare

Booking a ticket is essential to avoid disappointment as visitor numbers are limited for the welfare of our nervous rescue animals.

The lakes and aviaries are currently closed to the public due to the Government’s UK-wide Avian Flu Prevention Zone but you can still enjoy a walk around Raystede and visit our café and shops. If you wish to adopt an animal you must apply online or call us for assistance.

Meet Frankie ...

Frankie is a Boer X Angora breed of goat. He's one of the biggest characters we have at Raystede!

He originally came from London where he was living on his own and in order to live a happy and fulfilled life he needed the company of other goats, so he came to Raystede

Sponsor Frankie

He is much loved by all our staff, especially because he has a cheekystreak and will jump up on anyone who enters the paddock with food bowls.

If we ever need to shut him in a stable he makes us all laugh because he will ‘shout’ at us for our attention, it’s the most unusual sound!

Frankie would like to play fight with the other boys in our care, but he now lives a quiet life with one of our older goats.
