Little did we know that Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds’ short stay with us was to be anything but. An aged dairy cow at the end of her useful life, and having prolapsed after her last calving, a lifeline had been thrown to dear Lucy.

Separated from her family and friends by what terror, we shall never know – but clearly, the little grey kid goat surely did. She told such a tale as she raced across the pound yard towards the only familiar figure she could find.

Why he is now good and why we should be as well.

Our first introduction to the wee little lamb with the sweetest of faces, the one who we would name Sarsaparilla, came by way of an appeal for help, along with a video of her stoically trying to keep up with her dear mumma.

Only moments into our care, two little orphan lambs named Micky and Mini, without words, began to tell us about themselves.

Hugs for Harriet.

Struck by a vehicle which almost claimed his life, the young and injured pig was struck again.

Paddy finds his voice, and his story can help us find ours.

Far from shrinking, meet Violet.

With his glistening red comb flopped outrageously over his eyes and his body ensconced by the most silky soft of feather boas, made of the real deal, Earl’s haute couture may not look out of step on the catwalk of Fashion Week or even the cover of Vogue.

Whilst it is hard to define, it is easy to feel, just what makes Special special. For it takes but a moment with this happy-go-lucky little chap to intuit this.

Having difficultly seeing his new world around him, at first Peaky Blinders would scoot away at the mere hint of our presence. But now not so.

Within metres of the road the tiny bird fluttered and flipped. At first thought to be a grey pigeon clipped by a fast-moving car.

As farmed animals, in the scheme of things, it never ends well for them. And every action thus far afforded this mother and child had fuelled their point of view.

There is little doubt Brunswick is a beautiful bird. His magnificent plumage captures the eye, whilst the brilliant radiance of his comb and wattles sets the heart a-flutter.

Around 4.40 pm on the 11th of January 2023, hope met the reality of our promise, as the last Silkie rooster was removed from the tiny wire prison that had been his home for heaven knows how long.

He was the last in his cage to be removed. Although he was the first we went to.

With his eclectic mix of colour and an outrageous little “do,” dear Elton John stands before us today.

Into the abyss of the tunnel that formed part of a decommissioned sewerage drain our team went.

Tottie persuades us to consider that differences on the outside should never justify differences of our heart.

Mitzy got lucky, for the human who was set to “claim” her had a change of mind.

Although the sweet little goat we have named Daisy May might not know it yet, she has arrived at one of the best places an escapee goat from an abattoir ever could.

Cuddly Dudley and creating a kinder world for all

Meet Casper the friendly goat

Question: What is cuter than a kid goat in a coat? Answer: Three kid goats in coats!!!!

It took a village to bring the premature space cadet to safety – but oh boy was it worth it. 

Marko certainly marked our lives the evening he entered them. Although we may never be sure from where exactly he sprang.

“There’s just one rule here – be kind”. And clearly obedient to this dictum has Cookie Monster been ever since.

Turnup turned up in our lives recently. Although it would be fair to say that when we first met this little waif, we did not know how long her stay would be.

At Edgar’s Mission the name Brandy belongs to a cheeky little impish slip of a lamb
