Story

Story

Advice from the charity's research coordinator highlighted what we already knew and that was we had limited time if we were going to help Nigel and his diminishing vision in the long term.  By constructing this amazing little guy a  sensory enclosure, we will be able to offer him a quality of life, while he still has his restricted vision. This will give him a memory of the entire site and with the inclusion of scent marked points he should be able to create a picture of the enclosure before his eye sight disappears altogether. With the assistance from Sean Tucker of Evergreen Construction who is donating all of his company's time, this unique enclosure will be 'State of the Art' and will incorporate everything from underfloor heating to built in weighing scales, the indoor area will be large enough to carry out medical procedures should he require further treatment and will make it safe for staff to still interact with him should he become incapacitated for any length of time. With your help we can offer this much loved animal a long,  full and satisfying quality of life. Thank you for taking the time to read and please donate anything you can, no matter how small, It all helps
