Happy New Year! For our first Librarians' Pets post of 2025, meet Charlie, Delta and Echo the geese who are part of the menagerie overseen by Becky, one of the Facilities and Circulation Assistants at Harrison Library. #librarianspets

For our Librarians' Pets post this week, meet Tintin, the Jack Russell pride and joy of Jo from the Skills team. Jo says "Tintin is a cheeky little boy, so loving and playful, even at the age of 11 - we think he could try out for the England team as his ball skills are so good!"

@wlv_skills @WLV_DoctoralCol @wlv_uni @WolvesSU @WLV4Staff Thank you for featuring me.

We have a guest contribution to the Librarians' Pets series this week - meet Gerrard (@ProfFelixBlack), a Bombay cat adopted from Shropshire Cat Rescue who lives with Debra from the Doctoral College - he definitely thinks he works at the University!!

@wlv_skills @wlv_uni @WLV_DoctoralCol @WLV4Staff Hello Phoebe

This weeks Librarians' Pets bundle of cuteness is Phoebe, a miniature poodle who lives with Luke our Content & Scholarly Communications Manager. Phoebe is certainly quite a character! Despite looking relatively youthful, she's due to turn 16 in January.

@wlv_skills @WLV_DoctoralCol @WLV4Staff 😻😻😻 Hello Misty.

This week's Librarians' Pets post focuses on Misty, a diva of a cat who belongs to Claire, our Customer Services Librarian based at Telford Campus. Misty has a habit of snoozing near bookcases, occasionally interrupting Teams calls and always knowing when it is time for dinner!

@beilinglaoshi I read about her escaping and how drones helped find her and keep her safe until she was saved. Thank you for sharing.

@ProfFelixBlack for some reason, this made me think of you bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@wlv_skills Do I treats as payment? If you'd like some photos of me, please email the Butler who will happily send you some.

We would like to adopt you for our Librarians' Pets series, as an honorary member of the Library team 😻

@wlv_skills @WLV_DoctoralCol @WolvesSU He's very cute.

For our Librarians' Pets series this week, our first dog post is courtesy of adorable Trevor, a black Labrador puppy who lives with Joe our Learning & Skills Development Manager. Joe says "He's been a good boy (mostly), and eats his dinner faster than any dog I've seen"

@wlv_skills @wlv_uni @WolvesSU @WLV_DoctoralCol 😻😻😻😻

Introducing Librarian's pets - part 2. Billy & Binx rule the house of our Library Services Coordinator, Stacey. They are 1 year old rescue kittens that hadn't had a single re-homing enquiry, but they are now happily settled & demanding attention & treats constantly.

For the third in our Librarians' Pets series, let us introduce to you Nala who belongs to Pam, one of our Information Assistants at Walsall. Pam says "this is my cat Nala who loves a good book. She is very partial to an autobiography so is reading Barbra Streisand" #librarycats

For our Librarians' Pets series this week we have a guest post from Tracy who works at the Campus Store. Introducing Pickles, "a rescue cat that was abused…we’ve had her for 10 years, & we think she’s about 14…she has one tooth now. She’s a beautiful, affectionate lady xx"

@wlv_skills @WolvesSU @WLV_DoctoralCol 😻😻😻😻

For our Librarians' Pets post this week, we thought we'd take a break from cats (controversial we know!!) by showcasing a couple of cute bunnies instead... Fudge and Smudge belong to Jo Anne, our University Librarian. She says "My kids would say they belonged to them but...

@wlv_skills @WLV_DoctoralCol 👋 Hello, I love watching birds out of my window. May be ill see you all if you ever fly past.

Hello everyone. I'm back by public demand - well an enquiry from @AlisonEtches. I'm thinking about launching a singing career (I sing most at 5.30 am when I want the Butler to get up feed me). Here's my latest video; what do you think?

@wlv_skills @WolvesSU @wlv_uni @WLV_DoctoralCol Hello Yumi 😻

Librarians Pets Alert: this is Yumi who lives with her human Sarah, Scholarly Communications Officer. Yumi is nearly 7 and was adopted from a rescue centre 5 years ago. Apart from sleeping, she likes chasing butterflies, eating crunchy food, and catnip.
