Story
FOXY LODGE WILDLIFE RESCUE is a wildlife rescue centre officially set up ain December 2008 by husband and wife, John and Tonia in Hemsby, near Great Yarmouth in Norfolk.
But before they officially opened Foxy lodge they have both been rescuing wildlife since June 2006 when they first met.
They give a second chance for sick, injured, abandoned or orphaned wildlife. Their aim is to rehabilitate or rear and then release back into the wild with the help of our 20-25 dedicated volunteer's.
They, used to be "normal" and take holidays abroad and have a social life, but not any more! During busy times we fill up fast and are sometimes unable to take in everything that needs help. They will however offer advice on how to best help or where possible give you alternative rescue centres you can try.
They currently admit over 1000 wildlife casualties and give advice to a further 2000+ cases every year.
They use around 5,500 tins of cat/dog food, 700kg of chicken, 3 tons of various bird seeds, 300kg of cat & hedgehog biscuits, 200kg of fish, 250kg dried mealworms with specialized foods used in hand rearing babies together with vets bills & medications.
This does not come cheap and any new equipment they need is an extra expense. As you can imagine, finding enough money to keep running foxy lodge is a major challenge for them.
For an example, to house a hedgehog over winter cost approx £70.... and Foxy Lodge are currently caring for 27 hedgehogs as well as so many other ill and injured wildlife.
They receive no wages or payments whatsoever for the work that they do, they rely solely on your donations.
Their costs are kept to the minimum which ensures that all donations are used for the intended purpose of benefitting the wildlife in their care. Foxy Lodge Wildlife Rescue is in your hands.
Winter is here and it’s a particularly tough time of year and right now this fabulous centre needs your help. Whether it’s pennies or pounds every single donation will help them with their sterling work.
