£15,000 funding boost for Fife animal charity

It has received a grant of £15,161 from Support Adoption For Pets, the UK’s largest grant giving animal charity.

The money will go to towards their rescue boarding costs.

Fife Cat Shelter is run by a dozen volunteers from two private boarding catteries and foster homes.

Cats are mainly taken to the rescue due to a change in owner circumstance – but the rescue does also take in strays.

Margaret Kidd, from the shelter, said: “The grant will benefit our branch by covering some of our boarding costs for the cats we rescue, rehabilitate and rehome.

“The cost of offering the best care for the pets we take in can often add up so that’s where the grant will be a huge help to us and we are exceptionally thankful to the Support Adoption For Pets team.”

Laura Messenger, grant funding co-ordinator at Support Adoption For Pets, said: “It is a real privilege to be able to help such an important organisation that works tirelessly to care for and rehome pets in need.

“They are doing a remarkable job, and we’re delighted to be able to support them so that they are able to continue helping more pets in need.”

In 2006 Pets at Home founded the charity Support Adoption For Pets.

Since then it has helped more than 1,000 rehoming centres and animal welfare organisations across the UK. In addition to its fundraising work, it also runs dedicated adoption centres in Pets at Home stores.
