Animal Refuge

Wendi's love of animals began when she was two years old. She had a large semi wild black cat with which she shared its food, much to her mother's horror! A succession of animals followed over the years-bantam chickens, budgies, fish, cats, dogs, rabbits, rats and the odd possum or two.

For many years Wendi and her husband, Ken, have been rescuing homeless, abandoned and sometimes cruelly treated animals. They restore them to health and then search for suitable homes for them. Before the animals leave the refuge they are vet checked, desexed, chipped and vaccinated. Every adoption takes several hours as the right loving home must be found to ensure that the animal will not be abandoned again. The very old and ones with health problems remain. Animals are not euthanased because they don't have a home or because there are too many.

Not long after this, a white cat with one blue eye and one green one came into my care. We called her Annabelle.

The New Arrivals

In the past few weeks 5 kittens and one cat have come in to the refuge. Each has had a traumatic and unhappy time.

To add to his miseries the cockatoos had begun to attack him. One night when I was late home after work, he came running along the fence and practically threw himself into my arms. He was asking for help.
