Emergency overnight taxidermy for the pets other services quietly turn away. If your beloved companion looked like it had been assembled in a hurry, we think it still deserves a second chance in the conservatory.
We specialise in ugly pets, awkward creatures, hard-to-explain crossbreeds and selected roadside finds with “real character”.
At Ugly Stuffers, we believe grief should not be made harder simply because your pet looked deeply unfortunate. Society is quick to celebrate glossy Labradors and elegant cats. But what about the cross-eyed pug with a human expression? The hairless rabbit that frightened visitors? The elderly ferret that smelled electrical? The lumpy little dog that looked like a dropped slipper?
That is where we come in. Based just outside St. Neots, we offer compassionate, discreet and faintly alarming preservation services for owners who refuse to let unconventional beauty fade into the ground.
We also offer a limited roadkill memorial service for clients who have “formed a connection” with an animal they found by the bypass. We ask no questions, although we reserve the right to ask you to leave if the boot of your car is dripping.
We are particularly experienced with animals described by owners as: “a face only I could love”, “sort of upsetting”, and “you had to know him”.
Drop off by 8pm, collect by breakfast. Ideal for shock, denial and family members arriving from Milton Keynes.
For foxes, badgers, pheasants and other creatures of the verge that deserve one more chance to horrify a hallway.
Choose from “Alert But Confused”, “Waiting for a Sausage”, “Suspiciously Regal”, or our most popular pose, “Still Not Quite Right”.
Not magic. Just helpful.
“They preserved Mr Pickles, our hideous little pug, in under twelve hours. He somehow looks both better and worse. A remarkable result.”
“Our elderly Persian cat always looked furious and vaguely political. Ugly Stuffers really captured that. He now guards the airing cupboard.”
“We brought in a chihuahua that had, even in life, looked like a nervous bat. The team were tactful, quick and weirdly professional.”
“They refused to take our golden retriever because they said he was objectively too handsome. Frankly elitist.”
“I was told the pheasant I found on the A1 was ‘more smear than bird’. I prefer service providers who try.”
“Very rude about my cockapoo. Said it looked ‘commercially groomed and therefore disqualified’. My daughter cried.”
We use a holistic assessment including facial asymmetry, unsettling eye spacing, unexplained baldness, damp-looking fur and whether the pet made strangers pause mid-sentence.
In emergencies, yes. Particularly useful where the pet was the emotional centre of the household despite resembling a badly made puppet.
We can soften the worst of it. But we are restorers, not miracle workers.
