Rescue Animals

Due to life circumstances, Crittery currently has a pause on adoptions. We do still have sanctuary space for some animals.

Crittery takes on a small number of cases, to ensure we can keep them in pet conditions. We quarantine new arrivals, get required vet treatment and run health, behaviour and pregnancy checks. Rehoming process and fee applies, feel free to enquire via the website or via the Crittery Facebook Page.

Check out our Success Stories below for a selection of the animals we have helped over the years, not every case is listed here due to the numbers involved.
