Skye
Rescued from the illegal puppy trade in a potentially life-threatening condition, Skye has now gone to her forever home.
Clementine
Old girl Clementine was in a sorry old state when she came into our rescue and rehoming centre in Aberdeenshire as a stray.
Ariel
Close to death, Ariel was saved. She was given the care she so desperately needed and was finally, released back under the sea.
Skye
On a cold night in January 2023, a member of the public heard crying and whimpering coming from a cardboard box under a lorry at Cairnryan Ferry Port. 24 puppies were found crammed inside, clinging on to life.
These poor puppies were being trafficked. With no food or water, suffering from matted fur, severe mites among other health conditions, these puppies needed help urgently.
One of these puppies, Skye, had a serious heart murmur. Due to the neglect of her traffickers, this had gone completely undetected. Left untreated, such heart defects can lead to heart failure or even premature death.
Our expert team identified the problem and immediately rushed her for a life saving heart operation. As one of the few practices in Scotland that offer the procedure, CrumPets were kind enough to carry out this costly surgery free of charge. Thankfully, Skye made a full recovery and has went on to be adopted.
Clementine
Old girl Clementine was in a sorry old state when she came into our centre in Aberdeenshire as a stray. Aged over 10 and carrying cat flu, she weighed just 2.1kg. Her fur was badly matted so we had to shave her, and this poor lady had inflamed her skin from trying to clean her fur.
We got Clementine back on her feet but we discovered she had hyperthyroidism, which causes weight loss and increased urination. After three months of love and care, Clementine’s weight had grown to 2.8kg and her coat was as good as new.
Clementine found the perfect home with a lovely couple who had previously owned a cat with the same condition. She’s now known as Ellie.
Ariel
Ariel, a harbour seal pup, was found in a weakened state after having almost been decapitated by fishing gear. She was believed to have been suffering for up to three weeks when she was rescued from a beach in Montrose by one of our Animal Rescue Officers. Ariel was rushed to our National Wildlife Rescue Centre to receive round the clock care. The team gave her their all – offering her extra feeding support, cleaning and dressing her wounds and administering antibiotics.
Our incredible team’s hard work meant that they were successful in saving young Ariel’s life and giving her a second chance. After three months, she was released back into the wild by the same people who rehabilitated her which provided a bittersweet moment for the team who cared for her for all those months.
Wildlife Assistant, Caitlin, who cared for Ariel said, “this is why we do the work we do and always go the extra mile. We put so much of ourselves into her recovery and watching her swim away, knowing she has a second chance makes all the hard work worthwhile.”
