Animal sanctuaries caring for cats have received more than 42,000 pouches of food from Natures Menu.
The Norfolk-based raw and natural food manufacturer made the donations to charities in the county to help provide relief during this period of uncertainty.
RSPCA West Norfolk, Feline Care Cat Rescue, RSPCA Mid Norfolk & North Suffolk, Hallswood Animal Sanctuary, PACT Animal Sanctuary, Venture Farm Cat Rescue and many other animal charities in the region all received packages of the food this month, in order to help them continue their ongoing support for animals in need.
Carl Saunders, branch manager at RSPCA West Norfolk, said: “This current period of lockdown has provided the charity sector with a number of challenges, with the total closure of high street charity shops and having to find new means of fundraising to keeping all the animals in our care happy and healthy.
“To have this donation means we can continue to provide the cats in our care with healthy and nutritious food for the coming months, and for that we are extremely grateful to Natures Menu.”
Hazel Hatton, trustee at Venture Farm Cat Rescue, said: “The donation of cat food by Natures Menu is a shining example of the local community pulling together during testing times. Our lovely cats have welcomed the pouches with open paws and we’re looking forward to continuing our charitable work within Norfolk, with the help of these deliveries.”
James Langan, managing director of Natures Menu, added: “We are proud to support the work of such fantastic animal charities within our region of Norfolk. We understand the importance that wholesome food can have on a pet’s health and we want to help ensure that the much-needed support these charities provide can continue despite the challenges the current situation is bringing.”
