Animal trapped in vacant building

It’s not uncommon for animals, particularly pigeons, to seek shelter in disused buildings. If they’ve found their way in, they can usually find their way back out.

However, if you’re concerned, you should contact the owner of the building. The local council may be able to help with this or, if the building is for sale or to let, contact the estate agent. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that animals are not trapped within the building.

By following this advice you are enabling our teams to rescue and rehabilitate the animals who need us the most.
