02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The charity was established to rescue and rehome exotic pets that are unwanted, abandoned or seized. Primarily reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. We care for these animals at a our rescue centre until a suitable home can be found, or permanently in some cases. We offer tours, event and training sessions to educate the public and other organisations about these animals needs, and raise funds for the charity. Furthermore we offer volunteering and placement opportunities for those looking to gain experience with exotic animals, such as vet and natural science students.
