The best thing about animal rescues is they take in many animals whether they come in as their owners move abroad, their circumstances change or sadly even their loving owners might have even passed away.

They would love for you to come along to their big annual fun day this coming weekend. If you are a keen baker they would also appreciate donations of homemade goods to sell which would go towards raising more funds for the charity. If you could drop them over ready for their sale on Sunday 19th May 2024 that would be fantastic. Or maybe you\u2019d like to go along and buy some delicious bakes and support a great cause!<\/span><\/p>\n The event is happening from 1.30pm to 4pm at their Sanctuary at the Village Green in Stadhampton, it is free to park and there is no entry fee but donations are of cause greatly received. There will be lots to see and do, from Children\u2019s games, a tombola, food and soft drinks available, ice cream, tea, coffee and cake tent.<\/span> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.thame.net\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Open-Day-Poster-2024-LR.jpg” title_text=”OAS” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||13px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||-14px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n April saw them say goodbye to 58 animals, sending them off to new pastures. 37 of which were cats and kittens you can find out more about Aprils adoption on their May update post.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||-15px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”3px||13px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Before donating to a charity many people understandably want to know where their donation goes and what it helps towards.

The Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary, like many others, thankfully never puts a healthy animal down and even work with behaviourists to help tackle some of the issues some of the animals may come in with. Many issues are sadly down to the animal feeling fearful or due to high anxiety, so hopefully with a bit of love, care and understanding they would settle into their new homes. Some of the animals when they are first found have been abandoned and haven\u2019t even had a chance at knowing what a family is, so you could make that massive difference and give them that special place to call home.<\/span><\/p>\nAnnual Fun day<\/h3>\n
<\/span>
<\/span>Sadly the animals are no longer viewable on Fun days due to the added stress it can cause them, with a higher volume of people around and of course the well-being of the animals is the sanctuary\u2019s priority.<\/span><\/p>\nApril 2024 Success<\/h3>\n
