A Wildly Wonderful Visit to Cramlington House

Residents at Cramlington House were in for a treat recently when Steve Lucock, the beloved animal enthusiast and founder of Saviours Haven Sanctuary, brought along his incredible collection of animals and reptiles for a special visit. The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement as residents gathered to meet, pet, and learn fascinating facts about the animals that Steve lovingly cares for.

Among the stars of the day was Zante the fox, who quickly became a firm favourite. With his stunning coat and inquisitive nature, Zante charmed everyone he met. Residents were enthralled by Steve’s stories about the animals’ lives, habits, and personalities.

Alongside Zante, a host of other incredible animals made an appearance, including owls, doves, and even a snake. Steve shared his vast knowledge, offering unique insights into their behaviours, diets, and quirks. The residents were not only able to interact with the animals but also left with a newfound admiration for the natural world.

The visit was more than just educational, it was a heart warming experience that fostered connection, curiosity, and joy. The sight of residents lighting up as they stroked a soft fur coat or listened intently to Steve’s engaging tales was priceless.

A huge thanks to Steve Lucock and his amazing animals for creating such an unforgettable moment at Cramlington House. Until next time, Zante and friends!
