Last year, Thorne hedgehog rescue had 23 patients from January to the end of April. This year we have had 97 over the same time period. This year will be our busiest ever due to several Kent rescues closing. We now fund veterinary treatments, medication costs and supplies for 5 satelitte sites across Kent in order to keep up with the demand for spaces but the main site will still see 3 to 4 times as many hedgehogs in need than previously (527 last year in total!). We rely completely on the generosity of the public and with hoglet season now upon us funds, medical supplies and stocks are critically low. Please help if you are able. Every £1 donated (after just giving fees) goes directly toward the rescue, treatment and rehabilitation of the UKs only spiny mammal which is classified as vulnerable to extinction. Kent hedgehogs need our help more than ever.
