Welcome
Welcome to the latest issue of our newsletter!
We have lots to mention including an exciting Charity Auction
on behalf of three charities where you can buy some gorgeous,
special World Cup celebratory hammocks and stuff for your rats!
Site Update
Stel is running
www.ratrescue.co.uk
which we are running as a Web Log or Blog. This will share the
insights into running Cavyrescue and provide background into the
day to day running of the rescue. Rather than emailing to see
how we are it can take me some time to plough through all the
emails we get - you can visit the Blog - and add your own comments
too! We hope you find it informative.
CavyRescue in the News
The past few weeks we have received some more
positive ratty publicity!
We were interviewed for The Times Magazine this week, we are
in a feature called "Someone has to do it..." Not
sure when it will appear, but it will be on a Saturday.
We keep being told we are on Meridian TV although we have not
had a camera crew around for ages so not sure if this is old
footage or people are getting confused.
We have also been approached to feature in a potential new
TV programme about Pets and their relationship with their owners!.
Not sure if this will get off the ground but it could be good
publicity for us at some point in the future.
Furniture for your Fuzzies Charity
Auction
Fuzzbutt who kindly donated some hammocks as prizes to our
Ratless Rat Show are holding Fuzzbutt Charity Auctions where
you can bid for some gorgeous and unique furniture for your
kids!
Rache the talented ratty lover who makes these says: To
celebrate the imminent launch of Fuzzbutt Cage Comforts, and
also the launch of the World Cup, we present to you three of
our products made in a one-off fabric not used for any of our
other products.
We support four animal charities - Cavy
Rescue, PACT
Animal Sanctuary, Second
Chance Animal Trust, and the British
Federation of Ferret Welfares. Proceeds from these
three auctions will be divided equally between these four charities.
Please tell as many people as you can, the more bids we get,
the more money we raise!
The Auctions are due to go live very soon click

KEEPING YOUR FURRIES
COOL IN THE HOT WEATHER
With Summer here (apparently!), make sure that
your furries dont suffer from the heat..here are some quick
tips to get you started:
And, of course, as with all animals, make sure that fresh
water is freely available. If your animal does appear to be
suffering from heatstroke a tell tale sign that they are getting
over hot is that their ears go red move them to a cooler location,
dampen them with lukewarm water (not cold water as the shock
may kill them) and call your vet immediately.

Help the Bears
- WSPA Advert
The farming of bears for the bile is one of the
most intense forms of animal suffering that exists today. Trapped
in a squalid cage for up to ten years, bears cry out in pain
as they endure the continuous agony of having their bile drained
from an open wound to their stomach. WSPA, the World Society
for the Protection of Animals, is involved with extensive projects
that aim to utterly eradicate this cruel practice. Yet it is
only through the donations of our supporters that we are able
to proceed. Click
