An elderly woman placed what she thought was a hedgehog into a box along with some cat food.
The Telegraph
Newsable: Sick baby hedgehog was actually a piece of clothing.
Listen now
A woman who thought she had rescued a “baby hedgehog” later discovered she was in fact caring for a hat bobble.
The inanimate object was brought to the Lower Moss Nature Reserve and Wildlife Hospital by a conscientious member of the public last week.
But upon arrival at the facility in Knutsford, Cheshire, volunteers realised the hoglet was a “faux furry friend”
on the roadside.
Dr Kotze told The Independent: “From a distance you take it at face value. She didn’t handle it at all, she scooped it in a box with some cat food and left it alone in a warm, dark place. She did everything so well. She barely peeked at it because she didn’t want to stress it out.”
Dr Kotze quickly realised the item in the box was a hat, not an animal. She said: “It was pretty obvious to us but I can also see how she was mistaken. I went back out and said ‘I’m sorry it’s just a bobble
“She said: ‘You’re joking! Oh my goodness, how did I do that?’”
The 57-year-old volunteer said she had “never seen anything like it” in her five years working at the facility.
The rescue centre later posted a photograph of the bobble on social media, showing it nestled in a box beside a bowl of food.
The charity wrote on Facebook: “Our hearts melted as a kind soul thought she was rescuing a baby hedgehog, only to discover it was a fluffy pom-pom from a bobble hat. This adorable ‘hoglet’ still got all the love, complete with some cosy TLC.
“Remember, kindness knows no bounds, even when it’s to a faux furry friend! Sometimes, even the most heart-warming stories start with a hilarious twist!”
It added: “Please remember, if you spot a hedgehog out during the day, it’s a sign something’s not right. Pop them in a box with a warm source and seek help from your local vets.”

Golding said the first two sentences. Here is a recording:
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/william-golding-on-women/
But I'm a monkey's uncle if he said the rest. Searching turns up attributions to contemporary American writer Erick S. Gray. But I haven't been able to find a specific reference. It's wildly implausible that Golding (British author, 1911-1993, most famous for Lord of the Flies) would have said the last sentence.
