Freshfields do a fantastic job finding homes for unwanted animals. They take animals in and will look after them until they can home them. Like all rescue centres they have loads of kittens and puppies looking for some where to live, but they also have adult animals who are semi-permenant residents. When we last visited it was only to take some old pillows, but we had to see the kittens while we were there. Needless to say we came away £30 poorer but with a little bundle of fun - 8 week old Scrabble - one of the many kittens. The staff are very good at helping you to choose the right animal for you, and they would far rather keep an animal at the rescue centre than send it to the wrong home.
When taking an animal you only ever adopt it, with the condition that if you are unable to continue to care for the animal it must be returned to Freshfields. They also ask that cats are kept in at night and that all animals are neutered as soon as they are a suitable age.
Freshfields also rescue horses, farm animals, ducks and feral cats to my knowledge. read more
