27/03/2009 - Spring has Sprung at Bristol Dogs & Cats Home
Spring is in the air at Bristol Dogs and Cats Home as preparations are underway for the annual Spring Fair taking place on Saturday 4th April.
With its eggcellent Easter feel there will be plenty to keep the children occupied - they can get creative with seasonal arts and crafts or get their face painted, and of course there are all the resident ‘Easter’ bunnies to meet! While the children are kept entertained there will be plenty of opportunity for the adults to relax with tea and cake, pick up some bargains at one of the many stalls, not to mention the traditional games which are great fun for both the young and young at heart. There really will be something for everyone!
Jill Roynon, Fundraising Manager at the Home said “Come and celebrate the arrival of Spring with us at our fun family fair! The event promises to be a huge success with something for everyone. Kids can get creative with some arts and crafts and be able to take their masterpiece home to enjoy. With tasty refreshments, stalls where you can shop ‘till you drop and all the animals at the Home to meet, you are sure to have a great day out.”
The RSPCA Animal Clinic treats over 12,000 animals a year and provides a 24 hour veterinary service for lost, sick and injured stray animals, subsidised veterinary treatment for people on a low income, a first aid centre for wildlife casualties and ‘well dog’ clinics for the animals of homeless people.
Bristol Dogs & Cats Home, an integral part of the RSPCA Bristol & District Branch, provides care, shelter and a re-homing service for nearly 2,000 unwanted dogs, cats and small animals every year. Together these charities give thousands of local animals in need a second chance for a happy life, free from pain or neglect.
With so many animals to care for the charity’s annual running costs exceed £1.4 million. Both the RSPCA Clinic and the Dogs & Cats Home are independent from the National RSPCA and receives no funding from the National Charity, Government or the Lottery. We therefore rely on the support from the community through donations, legacies and fundraising events to continue our important work
Doors open at 9:30am until 3pm. Entrance to the event is 50p for adults and children get in for free. So please, come along and have a great day out whilst helping to make a difference to the lives of animals in need.
