Who We Are at Little souls rescue and sanctuary
Welcome to Little Souls
Where every life matters, and every story deserves a second chance.
About Little Souls
Little Souls Rescue & Sanctuary is a non-profit organisation based in Nottinghamshire, UK. We are dedicated to providing a lifelong safe haven for guinea pigs, rabbits, cats who need us the most.
Once an animal arrives at Little Souls, they become part of our forever family loved, cared for, and never forgotten.
We cover many areas across Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire, as well as parts of Northamptonshire, offering support, rescue, and a second chance to small animals in need.
We have no paid staff which means 100% of every donation goes directly to the care of the animals .
The Journey of Little Souls
Little Souls was four years in the making a journey filled with hard work, heartache, hope, and countless sleepless nights.
Becoming a CIO charity was not just a goal; it was a dream built from love, determination, and sheer dedication. Every step has been self-funded, every enclosure built with care, and every animal welcomed with open arms.
The Animals We Care For
Many of the animals who come to us have experienced neglect, trauma, or abandonment.
Some arrive from heartbreaking situations, but here, their past no longer defines them.
While we can rarely confirm their exact birthdates or breeds, we can promise one thing:
💛 They will be loved and cared for unconditionally for the rest of their lives.
Some of our little souls have never known love or a gentle human touch. Many arrive frightened or withdrawn, but here they are met with patience, kindness, and time, until they learn to trust again. Watching their transformation is one of the most beautiful parts of our work.
The Upkeep of the Sanctuary
Running Little Souls is a true labour of love. Every day, our sanctuary requires care, time, and resources to keep our animals safe, happy, and healthy.
From food, hay, bedding, and enrichment, to vet bills, vaccinations, neutering, and emergency care the costs never stop. Our enclosures also need regular maintenance and improvements to ensure every animal has the safe, enriched environment they deserve.
We receive no government or council funding. Every penny that keeps the sanctuary running comes from kind donations, fundraising, and the dedication of our small team .
💛 By supporting Little Souls, you’re not just helping with day-to-day costs — you’re giving frightened, unwanted, or neglected animals a safe place to heal and a chance at a brighter future.
Sharing Our Knowledge
We are always happy to offer free advice to anyone needing guidance on guinea pig, rabbit, or cat care.
Whether you’re new to these animals or experienced, we believe in sharing knowledge with kindness.
What Makes Little Souls Different
We are more than just a rescue. More than just a sanctuary.
We are a safe haven for the lost, the broken, the unwanted, and the overlooked.
Where many rescues focus solely on rehoming and many sanctuaries only provide long-term care we do both. With no pressure, no deadlines, and no ticking clock.
Every guinea pig, rabbit, or cat who comes to us becomes part of our family, for as long as they need us whether that’s days, months, or a lifetime.
Here, every little soul matters. Every heartbeat is safe.
And every story has a chance to be rewritten with love.
Do You or Someone You Know Need Help With an Animal?
We know it can be hard to ask for help — but please, don’t struggle in silence.
If you or someone you know needs support with guinea pigs, rabbits, or cats, we are here for you — and we will never judge.
Life changes. Circumstances shift. You’re not giving up.
You’re giving them a chance to be safe, cared for, and loved.
Our Cat Rescue
What makes us even more unique is that Little Souls is also a dedicated cat rescue, caring for strays, free roamers, and unwanted cats and kittens.
We work tirelessly to:
Rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome cats and kittens in need of a second chance.
Provide lifelong sanctuary for those who need ongoing medical care or cannot be rehomed.
💛 Over 350 cats have already found safe, loving homes through Little Souls.
A Forever Home for Guinea Pigs & Rabbits

Males enjoy their own safe, roomy enclosures to reduce stress and ensure harmony.

💛 The health and wellbeing of every little soul always comes first.
All rescued rabbits are fully vaccinated and neutered.

Supporting Stray and Free-Roaming Cats
Many people sadly see stray or feral cats as a nuisance. But at Little Souls, we see lost souls who deserve a second chance.
We are actively working to rescue, support, rehabilitate, and rehome abandoned, stray, and unwanted cats . We also offer long-term care and ongoing support for cats who might otherwise be ignored, forgotten, or put to sleep.
We also proudly help support and stabilise cat colonies
Kindness to Colonies
🐾 Caring for Free-Roaming Cats
Some cat colonies have lived together for years, forming strong bonds. We work to support and stabilise these colonies, helping them live happier, healthier lives in the surroundings they know and trust. 💜
When safety or health is at risk, we gently relocate cats to loving homes where they can thrive. Every cat we rescue receives full veterinary care, ensuring they get the attention they need.
🐾 Why Colony Welfare Matters
TNR (trap-neuter-return) works best when the whole colony is neutered. Careful planning and monitoring for new arrivals is essential to prevent more kittens. The earlier we start, the better early support saves lives.
This vital work is costly. Every donation, no matter how small, helps us continue giving free-roaming cats the safe, happy lives they deserve.
💛 The health and wellbeing 💛
💛 The health and wellbeing of all our Little Souls always comes first

Every animal in our care is treated with the same love and urgency we would give our own family. From emergency vet visits to hand-feeding the weak, we go above and beyond — not because it’s easy, but because they deserve nothing less
We don’t cut corners. We don’t walk away.
Their safety, comfort, and care will always be our top priority — no matter the cost, no matter the effort.
Because these Little Souls depend on us… and we will never let them down.

♻️ Rabbit & Guinea Pig Waste – Free for Collection! 🌱
At Little Souls guinea pig sanctuary & rabbit sanctuary , nothing goes to waste – not even the waste! We're now offering free rabbit and guinea pig waste pick-up for anyone who can make use of this natural by-product.
What’s included:
Soiled straw, hay, and wood shavings

Mixed in with unused hay that can be great for composting
This waste is chemical-free, non-toxic, and full of organic matter – ideal for: Composting
Garden mulch or soil conditioner
Allotments and flower beds

Eco-conscious growers
Rabbit and guinea pig droppings are considered cold manure, meaning they won’t burn plants and can be applied directly to compost heaps or left to break down naturally in your soil. They’re rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium – perfect for giving gardens a natural boost.
💚 How it works:
You collect directly from us
Bring your own bags or containers

Whether you're a keen gardener, run an allotment, or simply want to do your bit for the planet, this is a wonderful way to reuse and recycle!

Sharing the Love and Happiness
Need to Rehome a Cat, Guinea Pig, or Rabbit – or Looking for a Rescue Space?
We’re so sorry you’re in this position. At Little Souls Rescue and Sanctuary, we understand how heartbreaking it can be to make the decision to rehome your pet.
Whether you're rehoming your own animal or have found a cat, rabbit, or guinea pig in need of a rescue space, please know we’re here to support where we can.
Please be aware that we may be at full capacity when you first contact us—especially for cats and male guinea pigs—and we operate a waiting list system. Like many rescues, we receive daily requests to take in unwanted or abandoned animals, and unfortunately, we’re not always able to help immediately.
Every request is assessed on a case-by-case basis, and we’ll always try our best to support you. However, waiting times can vary depending on rehoming availability.
What You Can Do in the Meantime
Contact other rescues and ask to be added to their waiting lists.
Please Remember
Do not advertise your pet as ‘free to a good home’ – sadly, there are people who take advantage of this.
Do not abandon your pet or leave them with someone unless you are certain they can provide proper care.
Your pet still depends on you. It doesn’t understand that your circumstances have changed. Domestic animals, especially cats, cannot survive on their own—even if they appear to be good hunters. Most will suffer or starve without help.
A Final Note
Until a safe rescue space or loving new home is found, your pet remains your legal and moral responsibility. Planning ahead gives them the best chance at a safe and secure future.
Thank you for caring enough to reach out.
