“The incident has been reported, and CCTV footage has been retrieved. Needless to say, we are devastated by the incident. Our lovely shop manager is also quite shaken.

“We have set up this appeal to make sure the funds are replaced so the animals in our care do not suffer as a result. We would also like to ensure our shop manager is not left out of pocket.

“Donations can also be made via PayPal at www.paypal.com/uk/fundraiser/charity/21055 or Bank transfer Brent Lodge, Barclays, 50201901, 202062.”
