Our running costs are on-going and all the money we raise is spent entirely on the animals.
All our staff are unpaid volunteers. Feed bills are constant, hay costs are particularly high
during the winter when there is very little grass. Equine worming needs to be carried out
every 3 months at an average cost per equine of £12.00. The farrier visits every 8 weeks
to treat the feet of all of our 23 equines at a cost of £10.00 per animal. Healthy non sugar
non additive, non colourant cat food is expensive, and the cats have to be wormed and
deflead as well. All this and much much more,...

There are also the vets' bills which we try to keep to a minimum with nutritional supplements and herbal and homeopathic remedies, but still they keep coming. The donkeys have an ongoing problem with their frog in their hoofs which we are treating regularly and Charlie, Eddie, Rhett and Sky receive regular treatment for sweet itch in the summer. All of this plus vets bills soon mounts up. Any help you can give is very much appreciated! |

The Equines
We would very much like to be able to install more hardstanding for the equines - our damp climate with constant rain means the paddocks are frequently muddy and it would be much better for their hoofs to have more solid ground around their stables to stand on.
Estimated cost £750 - any donation towards this gratefully received.

The Cats
Our catteries are always full with unwanted cats. We need to have additional catteries built to cope with more abandoned felines.Volunteers have offered to build/install and kit-out the interiors free of charge.
Estimated cost of 'shell' (summerhouse-type buildings) £1,000 - any donations towards new catteries would be gratefully received. |

and Denes, the family firm in Brighton, for their assistance with their high quality sugar, additive and colourant free cat foods.
