THERE was delight for Farnham and Wey Valley Cats Protection as it collected donations raised in the Farnham Pets at Home store in the build-up to Christmas.

A grand total of £2,366.50 was raised for the branch during the Support Adoption for Pets charity’s Santa Paws Appeal which took place during December.

The money was donated by Pets at Home customers and will go towards helping unwanted and abandoned cats while they wait to find a loving new home.

Sue Millward, a Cats Protection volunteer, said: “We had great support throughout the month so we’d like to thank everyone who came along and supported us.

“The money raised will be vital in giving local cats a second chance in life and we’re very grateful to everyone who dug deep into their pockets.”

Farnham and Wey Valley Cats Protection would also like to thank Support Adoption for Pets, the Pets at Home Farnham staff and all their volunteers.
