The Cardonald Dog and Cat home is appealing for donations of new or old clean blankets, towels and sheets to be used for the animals in their care for the approaching cold winter weather. Please note, duvets or pillows cannot be used as the insides may be harmful to the animals if swallowed. Also donations of tins/cartons of dog or cat food will also be very much appreciated.
