The sanctuary was set up in 2021 to rescue Mustard the pig, who was at risk of having to go for slaughter if a home was not found for him.
Since then, the team of volunteers have taken in sheep, chickens, turkeys, cats, alpacas, guinea pigs and rabbits.
Prescott described the thought of having to find homes for all the animals if the charity was to close as “terrifying”.
Volunteer Catherine Christie-Mutch said she wanted to set it up because they “have lovely supporters, people behind us, but there is only that much we can ask of these people”.
She added that this year had already been very hard with lots of animal loss and high vet bills.
“Every time it starts to look a bit brighter, something else happens, no time for the sanctuary to get back on its feet,” Christie-Mutch said.
