    Dean

     CAT TEAM  

    Dean joined the Feline and Wildlife Rescue team in 2020 as a fosterer, which was a new experience but one that has been very rewarding.  Dean grew up with dogs; but has since owned or gained experience with cats, hamsters, rats, bearded dragons and even locusts.  She is regularly accused of spoiling any animals she comes into contact with.  With a degree in Creative Writing, Dean is a proof-reader by profession and spends her free time writing – usually working on too many projects at any one time and always with an animal by her side (or a cat on her keyboard!).   Dean enjoys reading, cuddling animals, travelling and listening to live music.   Dean cherishes her family’s dogs, and has two ex-stray cats called Jaya and Jet, who have quickly become a treasured part of the family.

    Dean

     WILDLIFE TEAM 

      Natalia is a qualified veterinary nurse and now vet technician in America.

    Shehas always had a passion for wildlife. She's been taking in the odd orphan since she was younger but only really got into wildlife rehabilitation whilst working at an RSPCA shelter.  She's studied animal management and has done placements in various animal based environments, including Twycross Zoo.   She really wants to make a difference in the world of animal rescue and that starts at home with British wildlife!  She entered the veterinary world in 2017 and became interested in wildlife medicine and how vets and nurses can make a huge difference to the outcome of rescued wildlife.  When Fee and Beth asked her to be part of FAW, she jumped at the chance. She says it's very refreshing to be part of a rescue ran by veterinary nurses, where wildlife welfare really does come first!  

    She now lives in America but she still helps with admin and advising volunteers.

    As of 19th May 2022: Nottingham is currently within a Avian Flu protection and surveillance zone. 

    As most of our volunteers work in veterinary practice we are struggling to assess and rehab critical/young birds. A lot of veterinary practices can only offer end of life care due to the risk to human health and pet birds.


    We are sorry and saddened for the inability to help in a lot of cases, we will try to continue to advise but it is likely we will refer cases onwards to other rescues.


    We will update if and when the situation changes.


    Thank you for understanding,

    Team FAW
