Pet food appeal for ‘stray in a manager’

The Battle Flatts clinic, which runs the appeal every Christmas, is also collecting treats and toys which it will pass on to local animal charities.

Spokesperson Angie Baxter said: “Christmas is one of the busiest times of year for these charities, but unfortunately is also a time when animals tend to be forgotten.”

All donations can be left under the Christmas Tree in any of the branches, which are at Buttercrambe Road, Stamford Bridge, 38 The Village, Strensall, 88 Kilnwick Road, Pocklington and 43 St Nicholas Street, Norton.
