Real Experiences
"What an amazing local resource. Recently brought in an underweight juvenile hedgehog who was out during the day. Staff were so helpful and reassuring. Please consider donating to support the work they do, or buy merch! It's an easy process to sponsor a patient."

"We found young birds on a building site, the site was getting removed, so the birds were needing relocated. Hessilhead had the experience to advise us what to do with them and the facilities to care for them. Fantastic orognisation and people."

"Found a fox who had been hit by a car last night, called every recommended number that came up on Google, and no-one was willing to, or open to help. Thankfully, on the list was Hessilhead who straight away said they could help if we could transport the fox to them. A 40 minute drive from East Kilbride, so so worth it. The gentleman was fantastic, and the work they do is incredible. I'm so glad we found this place, and the number is now saved on my phone. Thank you so much again for helping our wee night time visitor."
