Dear Everyone. These are not vermin, they are beautiful, intelligent curious creatures. They are wild and free, so they don’t belong to me. But my heart belongs to them. Another generation brought up happy & healthy 🥰💚🦊
Around noon today my Geoffrey collapsed & I couldn’t save him.
My world has gone dark & nothing will ever be the same again.
My first best boy. My everything. If love could’ve saved you, you would have lived forever.
I will see you again one day my darling boy. Wait for me🌈
It’s not that big a deal but I know what it’s like to be terrified in a car with other drivers just treating you like an idiot. We followed in our car to see her to safety. This is how women look after women & also prevented head on collisions. Think before you honk that horn!
I really don’t care who has an opinion on this. Today was my first Mother’s Day in 14 years without my Geoffrey and it hurt like hell. Love is love & grief is grief. There was no card ‘from him’ and that was very hard because I’m not his mum anymore, he’s gone.
I’m not normally one to “pile on” but this is my mum’s dog Tila. She moved heaven & earth to rescue him from Iran. He’s been a five year untrainable, unruly, escape artist, hole digging, trouble making nightmare. He’s her boy. She’ll never give up on him.
#KristiNoemIsAMonster
I wasn’t going to post this but actually it’s important to say when women look after women. This early evening a car was on a blind bend not moving. Everyone else beeping. We pulled up on the grass verge around the car to ask if they were ok. The woman was crying & mouthed no 1/3
He came to me this morning.
He NEVER comes in the morning.
He’s been hurt by some degenerate’s fireworks. I can see the soot on his fur.
He came for help.
I’M RAGING🤬 If I knew who it was I’d burn them back.

With all of my shattered, painful heart I want to thank everyone for the thousands of posts of love, support & your own stories of loss.
He’s thrown off his tired old body but I’ll need time to navigate life without him.
He will always be the star of the show.
Thank you all❤️
13 hours out in the cold. One foot through the front door. Phone goes, a bird trapped behind a 6 foot vending machine on a station platform.
Of course I went.
Of course I climbed it.
Of course the staff went mad.
Of course I got him.
I even got a round of applause😂❤️
It’s my privilege to share with you the beautiful new cubs😍
Unfortunately a woman who lives close by barked at me about “getting rid of them”😤
I will spare no effort to protect them & their mum💪🏽

I’m acutely aware of how much time we have left together. My first, best boy.
Smelling all the smells. Holding him close. And yes buying a buggy to be crazy dog lady.
My baby boy got me through divorce, addiction & trauma. He’ll get everything he needs for as long as he needs❤️
When people post photos of their late companion animals months or sometimes years after they’ve passed, it’s for a reason.
They’re still hurting, still grieving & keeping their memory alive eases that. If you know you know, if you don’t know, hey, be nice anyway.

It was a new car she was panicking like crazy. I jumped out & directed the increasingly frustrated traffic around her, my FEARLESS friend got into her drivers seat & drove her car up the hill. She had a baby in the back. 2/2

Everything I do, I do without him.
Everywhere I go, I go without him.
Every animal I help, he’s not beside me.
Empty spaces where he should be.
My face is raw, swollen & scarred with tears for him.
It was love & now he’s gone and it’s just grief. Endless grief.
Excuse me, these two soft lads behind me have nominated me to ask if the buffet could be served a little earlier today? It’s a bit chilly and we’d appreciate an early tea. Thanks in advance🙏🏽😂🫶🏽
Of my 100’s of rescues she was my favourite.
Critically ill when I scooped her up. I knew I couldn’t let her die.
Named her Lily & sang to her the whole drive to hospital.
Lily made a full recovery, returned her to her den & I still hear of her antics now

We found a lost dog wandering a country road. We got her back home, she’s 15 & suffers from doggy dementia so was very confused. Safe and sound now so we can get on with the job💪🏽🦊🫶🏽
I shouldn’t let it bother me but I’m so worn out with people tutting & shouting when I feed wildlife. We’ve destroyed their habitat, concreted over everything the least we owe them is a little help. We need nature. There is no us without them. Please stop being asses🫤
So many kind people asking questions offering advice for our little burns victim🥹
I’m overwhelmed. So I want to let you all know I secured metacam & antibiotics & managed an administration tonight with targeted feeding.
Treating wild animals is hard but I won’t give up💪🏽❤️
By sheer coincidence I spotted this girl trapped in a Tesco. She was exhausted from banging at the window trying to get out😔
I was full of confidence from my morning victory so I just went for it & I got her!💪🏽
What a day😅❤️

My neighbour knocked on my door, one of the fox cubs had gone into the garage block & got lost. Together we used a towel to pick her up & put her back in the den. He said he’d never thought about wildlife before he met me & it affected me so much & felt like an achievement 🥹❤️
THANK YOU ALL for the outpouring of support for my injured fox. I’ll follow you back when I’m allowed❤️
I’ll do everything in my power to nurse him back to health. And of course, continue to fight for the safety, rights & freedoms of ALL animals.

I found a wee girl passed away in the road. I couldn’t determine the cause of death but I moved her to a quiet place under a tree to spare her the indignity of being squished by cars. Go well little one 🌈💔🦊
The worst thing that could’ve happened, happened.
18 years after the ban they’re still killing with impunity, without fear, without accountability.
When will enough be enough?
Chased for hours and killed today by the Devon and Somerset Staghounds. Shortly before he'd crashed into a fence in exhaustion and terror. He ran up and down the river trapped by hunt support and too tired to climb the steep valley sides. So sorry we couldn't stop them shooting
A juvenile bird wandered into Streatham’s Tesco & couldn’t find his way out.
Management:
-Refused entry to rescuers with nets.
-Removed a safety trap put by female rescuer & shouted at her.
-Called pest control & killed him.
Is this acceptable behaviour

What I’ve learned about love this week is that it doesn’t come for free. There comes a day when you have to pay the piper. And I’ve paid in a thousand tears.

A man maybe late twenties just tugged my coat from behind & said “hello sexy, you’re too beautiful to be walking on your own”. My heart fell out of my chest & now I’m standing in the post office regrouping.
Leave women alone. WE DON’T DESERVE TO BE MADE TO FEEL THIS WAY.
Was feeding the

& a man shouted at me. Not just one shout but on & on about attracting rats & telling me off for feeding the birds.
Tell me PLEASE, why do men feel so entitled to try to intimidate women when there’s no one around?
Boy did he yell at the wrong woman😂
When you get a call out you never know what you’re walking into.
We’re just volunteers doing our best and we can’t save them all.
If they’re slipping away we can only give them final moments of dignity, comfort & peace. I think that’s important too🫶🏽

Quite a few people tagged me about a crow stuck in Tesco’s in Elmer’s End. I’m here now he’s VERY high. This is not an FB job they only do entangled animals. Waiting for pest control so I can make sure they release him not kill.
Apparently, I was sent a memo that dinner time had been pushed up sooner in the day but I recall no such communication🤷🏽♀️
I can only apologise & I’ll try to do better tomorrow 🤭🦊
I’m so sorry to tell you that Mr Burns has passed away. Since he first came to me I did everything I could to save him multiple times but in the end the constant injury was too much for his small body. Thank you to everyone that came on this journey with us. Goodnight laddo 💔🌈
Mr Burns made a morning appearance🌤️
Those light patches you see are new fur regrowth 🦊
I have high hopes he’ll be ready to cope with the winter months☃️
His bounce back from multiple wounds shows us all that with inner resilience we can endure anything life throws at us 💪🏽❤️

before but I’m especially missing my boy today. In some way or other I say his name everyday. Anyway, in case I haven’t mentioned it recently I loved my Geoffrey with all my heart & I always will🌈❤️
I’ve made a few private donations to sanctuaries tonight in memory of Mr Burns. There have been a few laughing emojis BUT overwhelmingly people were touched by the fight in this little fox. When we care about the meek we care about everyone. Love to you all❤️

have confirmed that they will continue to shoot foxes dead on the Beddington Wetlands regardless of cubbing season for ‘nature conservation’
I have done everything within my limited power to no avail. I call on residents & sympathetic councillors for support 🙏🏽
That moment when you realise (again) that there’s no medicine to give, no bowls to fill, no wee wees to do, no belly rubs to give & no arthritis massages to do. So you just sit on the floor because you feel totally unemployed & can’t remember what life was like before loss💔
I feel ok, a bit better. Most importantly all the animals have been fed & looked after thanks to fabulous friends.
If they had suffered I would’ve suffered more. I’m not at full capacity but they will never know that. No matter what they will as feel safe & relaxed as always.
Called today about a fox. Sadly he was already cold so I did the only thing I could, which was move him to a secluded place of rest. We can’t save them all, but we can offer respect & dignity. Death is part of life & tomorrow another one will need us.

He comes in the daylight now, which makes it easier to look after him. Being separate from the other foxes allows me to give him what he needs. I hope this continues until he’s well🤞🏽❤️🦊

On the rare occasion one if the foxes makes a morning appearance I know it’s very likely there’s a problem. They trust me.

I am heartbroken. After 3 years of being the goodest boy I found Duncan by the river this morning. He broke his foot over the weekend. I’d found him a hospital place but I was too late. It was too much for his little body. Sleep tight little boy. The tears won’t stop 💔
The pain meds seem to kicking in, he’s putting a little weight on his injured foot.
I can also see wisps of fur growing back over the burn & the scab is small now.
Hopefully no more injuries for our poor wee boy.
