Warren Scout
Starlight Trust
My name is Sarah and, along with my husband Dave, I run the Starlight Trust. We started as a rescue but we have also been doing some online and educational work currently on wildlife rescue (our wildlife advice site is www.helpwildlife.co.uk) and we are working on something similar for small pets.
Rescue wise we take in rats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, degus and chinchillas as well as the occasional pigeon or hedgehog. We don't currently take rabbits though I would very much like to if we can make some space. We aim to find our animals new homes (and we are very fussy!) but also offer permanent sanctuary to those who need it. We only euthanase if our specialist vet can convince us there is no hope!
We are only small, caring for up to about 30 animals at a time. Donations are pretty hard to come by for such undervalued animals so we fund most of the work ourselves. We are based in Wallington, Surrey and operate out of our home. It's mostly just the two of us though we have a couple of helpers such as Sarah who helps with listing our animals needing homes and who pointed me in the direction of this thread : )
