The RSPCA Bath Cats and Dogs Home has received a surprise donation of £2,000 to help provide for pets in its care during the coronavirus pandemic.
The donation was made by Support Adoption For Pets, the UK’s largest grant giving animal charity, started by Pets At Home, to recognise the efforts and hard work at the Bath Cats and Dogs Home since the pandemic began.
In total, the charity has given away nearly £600,000 to rescue centres up and down the country, to help them look after the animals in their care as the financial hardship of COVID-19 continues.
The RSPCA Bath Cats and Dogs Home is partnered with the Bath, Trowbridge and Chippenham Pets at Home stores through the Support Adoption For Pets’ Charity of the Year programme, and through this received a total of £13,553.06 in 2020.
Support Adoption For Pets charity manager, Amy Angus, said: “Our message was simple over Valentine’s Day weekend and it’s one that we’re really passionate about as a charity.
“We’re here to share the love and surprising RSPCA Bath Cats and Dogs Home with a donation of £2,000 meant the world to them.
“The impact of Covid-19 is monumental and rescue centres continue to fall under real pressure. We’re reaching out to provide them with much needed financial help and to do our best to ensure that abandoned pets are given a second chance of happiness.
“Not only has the charity surprised rescues with nearly £600,000 but we have also increased our emergency grant programme by £400,00 so rescues can apply for funding during these difficult times.”
