Meet the Permanent Residents
This gorgeous bunch have found their forever homes here at India's Hamster Rescue, and have stayed with us due to age, health, or other needs that make them best suited to a life of comfort and care at the rescue.
You can sponsor a resident to help support with their ongoing care.
Mabel
Those of you who follow our page will recognise Mabel, who arrived to us with a sore chin. After weeks and weeks of trying different medication, creams, an x-ray and skin biopsies, it is suspected that the sore is caused by bone inflammation in Mabel's jaw. For this reason, Mabel became a resident hamster and will continue to receive care under rescue.
Special K
This little guy arrived to us with a very infected scent gland. After a course of antibiotics (that didn't work), it was decided to have it removed and it turned out to be a tumour. Following this, Special K has had issues with his eyes and given his age, we felt it was best he retired in rescue where he would receive any treatment required.
Albus
Albus has joined the team to retire at the age of 24 months! This little guy has gone from rags to riches and is now living the greatest retirement with Lily in Aylesbury.
Vesper
Vesper came into rescue along with his brother, unfortunately cohabitating. As a result, it was clear that Vesper was not the dominant of the two hamsters. He has demodex mites from a poor immune system and his back legs are also splaying. As a result, Vesper will stay in rescue where he can receive the treatment he needs.
Cecily
Cecily joined the crew in April 2026 at the age of 18 months old. After having some concerns around a sneezing noise and with no real findings after a few trips to the vet, her fosterer decided it would be best for her to stay in rescue where she could be monitored.
Rori
Rori is a 23 month old girl, given her age, we didn’t feel it was right to put her up for adoption. Instead, she stayed with her fosterer, where she’ll spend the rest of her retirement enjoying a loving home as a permanent resident of the rescue.
Azul
Azul joined the crew after being surrendered at 25 months old. She might have a cute baby face, but she will absolutely not hesitate to bite! This girly is very territorial and does not like hands in her space.
Chess
Chess came into rescue after being given away free on marketplace. During his time in foster care, he developed a very large tumour on his toe and unfortunately had to have it amputated. He'll be staying in rescue as a result.
Steve
Steve has joined the retirement crew as he is older than 2. He loves to potter about his home and enjoys plenty of snacks.
Sebastian
Sebastian is also staying in rescue due to his age. He is loving his retirement with Lou in North Yorkshire where he is being spoilt rotten.
