Ayrshire appeals for blankets
The Scottish SPCA is asking animal lovers to donate blankets to its Ayrshire and South West Scotland Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre.
Our centre in Mainholm, Ayr, took in 450 animals last year and staff are keen to make sure all the pets in our care are kept cosy and comfortable as the cold snap continues.
Centre Manager Marion Hainey said, "During the winter months blankets are really important and our pets like to have something to snuggle into.
"As winter shows no signs of leaving, we're appealing to the public to hand in new or used blankets that are clean and in good condition.
"Unfortunately, we can't accept duvets or pillows as the insides can be harmful to the animals if they eat them.
"We hope kind-hearted locals will get behind our appeal as we have lots of dogs, cats and other animals who will be so grateful for the donations."
Blankets can be handed in to our Ayrshire and South West Scotland Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre at Millview, Mainholm, between 10am and 4pm seven days a week.
