Around the Sanctuary

  

 

                                                                  Colin


Colin the cormorant was found wandering along a busy country road, not a normal habitat for a water bird, well away from any large water source where he would be able to fish for food. He was looking very confused and somewhat wobbly. Colin was duly caught and brought to PACT where he is living in one of our wildlife aviaries until he has built up sufficient strength to be released in a more natural environment. Colin is eating his way through over £2’s worth of fish each day, so not only will he be pleased when he is free again but our budget will certainly feel a lot healthier.
Check back here soon to see images of Colin being released.

Due to the daily working of the sanctuary we cannot open to the public except on official open days and by appointment.

PACT is one of the largest ‘all animal' sanctuaries in East Anglia our speciality is ‘problem animals' that without our intervention would probably be euthanised. We have a strict ‘No Kill' policy.

There are never less than 600 animals in our care from hamsters to horses, budgies to peacocks and various wildlife species. We need to raise £550 every day to maintain our high standards of care.

Many of the animals and birds are up for adoption but there are also around 100 that have become permanent residents for a variety of reasons.

 

Peter

Peter the peacock is a stunning bird and can be seen strutting around the sanctuary. He is one of some 20 peacocks at the sanctuary. It is wonderful to see them especially when they decide to show off

EDUCATION AT PACT

PACT regularly provides work experience for students from local colleges and schools.

There are currently four students who are training in 'Animal Care' up to NVQ 2 in conjunction with Easton Agricultural College, and every year 15 to 20 pupils from local secondary schools come to PACT for their work experience.



Most of these young people find a new purpose in life and some stay on after their work experience to become volunteers.

Working with the animals help them find new confidence in themselves and their abilities, improve their ability to communicate and interact with others and increase their awareness of community issues.

Operating theatre

PACT have an operating theatre on site where routine procedures can be carried out.  However more complex procedures are still done at our veterinary surgery.
