Suffolk and Essex Small Animal Welfare

🔗 Site: https://www.sesaw.co.uk

🚀 Location: ​​Stoke Rd, Leavenheath, Colchester CO6 4PP

🏷 Summary: SESAW is a charitable organisation that works tirelessly to provide assistance and care for abandoned, sick or injured animals. All animals receive veterinary care and some require additional time to relax and recover from traumatic experiences before being given an assessment. Volunteers work hard to supply love and care to the newest arrivals until they can be reintroduced into the wild or adopted.

If this is not possible due to age, health, or behavioural issues, then the animal stays at SESAW or in a foster home with the option of sponsorship available. Additionally, responsible ownership of pets is encouraged by SESAW with a special emphasis on neutering.
