Everyone at Hollytrees Animal Rescue Trust wishes you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We are all so grateful for your continued support and the generosity you show to the animals we look after. 

If you haven't already, and are interested, then please take the time to have a gander at our Christmas Newsletter that we send out each December updating all you good people on what we get up to. You can find the links here. 

If you find yourselves with excess duvets, blankets, towels, newspaper, and used greetings cards after a winter de-clutter, then please feel free to donate them to us at: 
Hollytrees Kennels, Packhorse Lane, Hollywood, B47 5DH. 
We are always in need for them for the animals in our care. 

Thank you once again for all your support. 
Here's to 2025!

Warmest regards, 

Ray Dedicoat

Hello all, just a quick message to say if anyone has any used unwanted Christmas cards we are happy to take them as donations as we can cut them up and use the blank sides to write our tickets and notes on. Thanks again! All the best, Ray.

Apologies for the delay in posting! We hope you all had a nice Christmas and Happy New Year to you all! 

You can find our 2022 Christmas Newsletter and Card here.

Best wishes, Ray

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic and following government advice Hollytrees will be shutting to the general public and implementing the following measures until further notice: (updated 17/09/2020)

Injured Wildlife
We are still taking in any injured or orphaned wildlife. If you are bringing wildlife to our centre please contact us on 01564 823244 or ring the buzzer once outside and a member of staff will meet you at the gate.

Boarding Kennels and Cattery
Our kennels are open however we are operating a reduced number of boarding facilities for both dogs and cats. We ask that if you or anyone you have come into contact with is experiencing any symptoms of the coronavirus that you make arrangements for someone else to drop off and/or collect your animals.

Rehoming
We will not be allowing members of the public in to the centre to meet our rescues. If you are interested in adopting an animal we welcome you to contact us via 01564 823244 or [email protected] for one of our members of staff to discuss this with you.

Donations
If you are dropping off donations to us such as bedding and newspaper you will notice a green wheelie bin to the right hand side of our gate that you are welcome to use. As ever we are extremely grateful to all of our supporters both before and during this period of uncertainty.

Volunteers/Work Placements 
Unfortunately we are not looking to take on volunteers or work placements for the foreseeable future.

​We apologise for any inconvenience caused by these precautions but they are for the safety of everyone.

Many thanks for your understanding,

​Ray

​In response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic Hollytrees will be restricting visitors to the centre for the foreseeable future as follows:

We are of course still taking in injured wildlife. If you are bringing wildlife to our centre please contact us once outside and a member of staff will meet you at the gate.

We will remain open for the boarding of cats and dogs. However we ask that if you are showing any symptoms of the virus at all or are returning from a country with an outbreak that you call us first or make arrangements for someone else to drop off and/or collect your animals.

Other than our boarding clients we are strictly closing to the public.
We are still rehoming animals at this time however this will be via appointment only. If you are interested in adopting an animal from us contact us on 01564 823244 or [email protected] and one of our members of staff will discuss the matter with you. If we have anything suitable to your situation and you are interested we will arrange a time for you to come by and take things from there.

We are still accepting donations of newspapers, bedding, towels and bric-a-brac, and are extremely appreciative of anyone willing to make the journey. In this case there is a green wheelie bin outside our gate that can be used to drop off donations or in the case of larger donations a member of staff will meet you at the gate to assist you.

We implore any volunteers who are showing any symptoms of the virus at all, or who have been in contact with anyone showing symptoms to remain at home. Know that we’re extremely grateful of your help, as always, but precautions must be taken for everyones safety.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by these measures.

Many thanks for your understanding,
​
