Cat shelter in Portsmouth shocked by surprise donation from Pets at Home Portsmouth
STAFF at a cat shelter have attended a cheque presentation from Pets At Home Portsmouth expecting a donation of £1,500 – but were shocked to receive £9,000 on Thursday.
Portsmouth Cats Lost Found and Rehomed plan to buy a van with the money.
Penny Parker, a manager at the shelter, said: ‘The sheer joy shock and delight when told it was £9,000 was amazing, because we do not even raise £9,000 in one year.
‘To be given this money means we can buy new cat cabins and a small van to carry the cats or equipment.’
The group is staffed entirely by volunteers, who work to reunite lost and found cats.
