Deep in the woods there was a charming little house. It was not much to look at, just a couple of stones on top of each other. The roof was covered in a thick layer of green moss, and in spring a carpet of colourful flowers burst into bloom all around. The main door was barred, to keep people out, but in the bottom left corner a small door was made so animals could come and go as they pleased. There was a perfect big window to look through during the daytime. As ‘tiny’ as it was, it was perfectly fine for Mr. Whisker all by his lonesome self.

The story of Mr Whisker
Mr Whisker was created to share artwork and stories from the Whisker Foundation, a wildlife rescue center in the Netherlands. The stories are based on real life rescues and situations we encounter on a daily basis. By sharing we want to give insight in our work, and show in a light and humorous way how we rescue animals and why we do it.
All proceeds go directly to the Whisker Foundation, so by enjoying our art you directly help rescueing hedgehogs. Isn’t that amazing?!
These are the real wildlife stories of the animals on which Mr. Whisker’s stories our based.
Jules - Hedgehog
Being a young hedgehog is difficult enough. When you get stuck in garden netting whilst looking for snacks, it definitely does not get any easier.
Marty - Squirrel
Marty is very special to me. This young squirrel fell from a tree and had a severe concussion. With lots of effort and love we managed to release him again!
Mcbunnersons - wild Rabbits
When you are digging you never know what treasure you might find. Sometimes it is gold, sometimes it is rabbits.
