NANNA is a voluntary run rescue and rehoming organisation that was set up
to help as many animals as
we can find new homes and start life afresh.
We home-visit before placing the animal with their new family; the animal
is also neutered, micro-chipped
and checked before leaving us. All of this costs money, on average
the cost to our organisation is £60.00 per
cat brought into us, £40.00 per rabbit (although we do not spay our
female rabbits, we do castrate all males
and the rabbits are then paired up before being rehomed).
In our care we also have ferrets, rats, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, degus,
chinchillas, chipmunks, chickens
ducks, geese, hedgehogs and many more animals all looking for new families
to call their own, but sadly some
do not find new homes for what ever reason. These little characters
cost our organisation money for their
welfare and upkeep, we try to give them the very best of everything during
their stay with us.
NANNA rely on the donations given to us from the general public; this can
come in many forms.
Money of course is very important and that is why we ask for minimum donations
for the animals being rehomed
and where possible we also ask for a donation when we take in animals from
the general public.
Another donation we need is time.....we need as many volunteers to help us
care for the animals, to help raise funds
for our cause and of course we need people who can organise and support us
in other ways. We also need
bedding, food and eqiupment to maintain our high standard of care.
At NANNA we strive to improve our facilities
all the time and value your comments on where and how we can make changes
to achieve these aims.
Thank you for your support, why not come and see the animals in our care?
You may find what you are looking for.
We are here to offer advice; we can not make you act on our advice but please
remember we have the experience
and the knowledge about the animal you are looking at. The animal's
welfare must come first and foremost.
If for any reason we have offended you we apologise!...but it is better that
the animals stays with us, rather
than come back to us! Remember -a happy home is one that offers shelter
to a friend -is yours a happy home?

(2006 update)
Thank you to everyone who has supported NANNA with contributions and assistance.
Since February 8th this year we have re-homed or taken in care 278 animals
(not counting wild birds), fowl (chickens, geese & ducks dumped over
the bird flu scare).
Adopted animals go to homes that are vetted. All animals are neutered and
micro-chipped,
where suitable. Here, in Charlton, there are several older cats in
need of a new home.
Four hand-reared hedgehogs have been released and baby birds are coming in
daily

(August 2005 update)
I still have oodles of cats that need homes, all shapes, colours, sizes and
ages! Petriana has kittens available
and Chrissy has ferrets. Thank you everyone who has contributed food,
donations, equipment and bedding.
Also those who have helped at events like the Open Garden at Charlton House
and the sadly rained out Bring
and Buy. Since January £1,378 have been raised and many
animals rehomed or cared for.
