Animal lovers wanted for rescue centre

Mount Noddy, based in Eartham, takes in hundreds of unwanted and abandoned cats, dogs and rabbits every year and finds them new homes.

It is about to start a new chapter, as its kennels and catteries have been repaired and repainted and a state-of-the-art barn has been installed with comfortable sofas where prospective owners can get to know the animals in a simulated domestic environment.

There are longer opening hours and new fundraising initiatives planned.

Centre manager Clare Palmer is appealing for volunteers to serve on a new executive committee.

She is looking for people with skills in finance, animal welfare and fundraising, but most importantly they must love animals and see their rescue and re-homing as a real vocation.

Ms Palmer said: ‘We have always found Chichester people to be very giving and generous and I am sure they will get behind us again.’
