Wildlife charity makes appeal for cat food and kitchen roll
 Poor
weather means animal carers at Secret World Wildlife Rescue centre,
near Burnham-On-Sea, are being kept busy with an influx of hedgehogs
and birds and they have this week appealed for donations of cat
food and kitchen roll to keep up with their demands.
"Demand
has exceeded supply and we are completely out of commodities to
top and tail - cat food for one end and kitchen roll for the other,"
said
charity
founder Pauline Kidner.
"A
huge influx of hedgehogs, garden and seabirds have exhausted supplies.
Because of the catastrophic wet weather, we are almost running
out of room for all the casualties that have come into our care."
"It is ironic that we need cat food to feed the many casualties
that come to us as the majority are here as a result of being
caught by cats."
Meanwhile,
Secret World will be holding its final open weekend of the year
over the Bank Holiday weekend and visitors are being invited to
bring tins of cat food and kitchen roll with them.
"We
will be open from 10.00am - 4pm each day, with daily animal displays,
ferret racing and on Sunday there will be a display by Canine
Capers, the dog display team."
