🎞️ There's nothing more heart-warming than seeing our rescued donkeys & foals enjoying a meal together at our Arrana Rescue Centre 📽️

💔🙁Many arrived abandoned, sick or injured, never knowing the happiness they now have just as every donkey deserves 🙏🫶

When an elephant calf loses its mother, it loses everything – its family, food, protection, an entire support system.

That’s where our Keepers step in: they gently rub moisturising coconut oil onto their delicate skin and scoop handfuls of mud and dust on their bodies. They even sleep with them at night, providing comfort just as their mothers would in the wild. For Wangalla, it's made the difference between life and death.

Adoptions help fund every minute of this dedicated care. Adopt Wangalla today: https://t.co/loS0hJV6JZ

His Majesty King Charles III has betrayed his oath to be defender of the faith.

Changing the definition from the one true Christian faith to some globalist nonsense about multi-faiths is not only treasonous, but it is also the heresy of pluralism, an act worthy of dethronement.

👀Then & Now
🙁 🤒 8 years ago, we rescued Blondie. He was weak, neglected & his owner could no longer care for him. See now he's safe, healthy & loved in our care 🙏

Do wild elephants who have been treated by us remember us?

Sometimes, yes. 'Dad' is a wild bull who turned up just after we established our Ithumba Unit. He's actually the father of two wild-born babies! In 2015, after a yearlong absence, Dad returned to Ithumba in the company of two friends. The Keepers soon realised that all three were sporting septic wounds from poisoned arrows.

Dad knew that, if they returned to the stockades, they would receive the help and treatment they so desperately needed — and he made the decision to bring his friends there, even after being harmed at the hands of humans. Because of Dad’s faith in us, we were able to treat all three bulls and they made a full recovery.

Dad continues to stop by, as does Lazarus, another bull treated by our teams. Years ago, our SWT/KWS Vet Unit saved his life after he was snared. Watch the moment Benjamin reunited with him - he doesn't forget a face and neither, apparently, does Lazarus!

What stories from the field do you remember, years later?

I’ll never forget finding Iris on the chain here in Thailand.

She had no shelter from the sun or heavy rains and she was deathly thin.

I was just sent photos of her from her her owners and it doesn’t even look like the same dog… (1/4) 🧵

The cold is British. They just never told you. ❄️🇬🇧

Every air conditioner, every fridge, every freezer on earth, the cold inside all of it was first made by a Scotsman. In 1756. ❄️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

His name was William Cullen, a doctor in Edinburgh.

In a warm room, with no ice and no winter, he drew the air from a glass of ether until it boiled cold and drank the heat from the water around it, until the water froze.

No one had ever done it before.

Then he wrote it down and walked away. No machine, no patent, no fortune. Just the proof, on a bench.

It sat there the better part of a century. A British bench built the first machine that worked, and a Scot carried it across the world to Australia, where it froze meat and cooled beer.

But cold was only half the story. ❄️📖

To master the air itself took another Scot.

When the Houses of Parliament burned down in 1834, David Boswell Reid made the new building breathe, its gothic spires its lungs.

At St George's Hall in Liverpool in 1851 he built what is often called the first air-conditioned building on earth. It should have made him.

He died forgotten in America instead.

40 years on, Willis Carrier built the machine and earned his name as the father of modern air conditioning. He earned every bit of it.

But he did not make the cold.

The cold was British. America took that inheritance and cooled the world with it, and that is no theft. That is what an inheritance is for.

We are the home of British heroes.

Not built by ads, not by the government, built by us.

There's a place for you with us.

Little Skye and Rod Stewart were found in the worst possible conditions. Both close to death.

She had been struggling big time with us humans until he came along.

Now suddenly she is playing and has a best friend

🩵Hello from ARNOLD who was found as a stray at the side of a busy highway in Israel 11 years ago 💔

Serenget is an orphan who is very particular about how she drinks her milk: sip by sip, through the tip of her trunk. It takes forever and some orphans aren't quite so understanding.

Losoito is the main culprit at our Voi Reintegration Unit. She has been pushing the younger orphans around the feeding area since Serenget arrived, jostling for position and trying to get to bottles that aren't hers. Some mornings the Keepers feed Serenget inside her stockade to keep her out of Losoito's way altogether.

All that said, despite being surrounded by potential milk thieves, Serenget is perfectly unbothered most of the time. She's thrived since her rescue and made a new pal in recent rescue Lumo too.

And now I’m here. I can’t tell you how happy this makes me. I’ve come to a proper village fete in Frogham in the New Forest. I’ve paid 50 pence for raffle tickets at the bottle tombola (I won a bottle of Diet Coke and not the alcohol I’d hope for), I totally failed to knock a single coconut off at the shy, but I did win a little packet of sweets by knocking tin cans down with a bean bag at the stall next to it. This is exactly like the village fetes my Mum took me to fifty years or so ago. It hasn’t changed a bit. A totally perfect slice of English life.

Lily is looking for a new home.  
Due to unforeseen circumstances Lily is looking for a new loving, forever home. 
Lily is a 9 year old Domestic Shorthair Tabby.
Lilly had to move to a house with two other cats which hasn't worked out. 
The stress and threat of being with the other two cats has had an effect on Lily as she has started to be reactive, will hiss and try to scratch which she never did before.
She is not suitable for a house with young children and lots of noise. She needs a home with no other animals and people who understand cats in order for her to build her trust and come out of her shell.
Lily loves attention, she is a very affectionate cat on her own terms, but can be a little spicey if not ready for interaction. 
She would benefit from people who can give her time. To sleep she loves a comfy cushion on the sofa or nestling between pillows on the bed.
Lily is spayed, microchipped, registered with the Vet, no medical problems,. She can be left on her own, she eats wet food.
Lily will come with Carry Box, Scratch Box, Scratch Tree & Electronic Feeder.
Lily is an indoor/outdoor cat.

Once a frog, always a frog! Ever since she was a tiny new rescue – a tadpole, one might say – Korbessa has been known for her signature amphibious squat. Now, nearly three years on, it’s still the pose she loves best.

To date, we have successfully raised over 320 orphaned elephants. Learn more about our pioneering rescue-to-rewilding process, which unfolds over many years: https://t.co/EdWRBjgrNL

Noir’s leg was so badly broken it was doubted if we could pull this one off.
What do you think? We are so proud of this miraculous recovery ❤️
Soon he can go to his new home!
