She said: “Several animal enclosures have sadly been damaged in last weekend’s storm, and with the rescue centre being located high up on a hill they were hit the worst by the winds, heavy snow and freezing conditions."

She added that any money raised more than the target will be donated ot the centre to cover its animal feed bills. 

“Your support means the world to us and the animals who call this rescue centre home. Together, we can make a real impact and give these animals the warm, loving environment they deserve,” added Keira.
