Halloween event raising money for H.A.R.T

On Sunday, October 30, from noon to 4pm, the clinic will be raising funds in aid of the rehoming centre.

Hart has more than 30 cats in its care, and needs funding to look after them.

The Hallowe’en theme was chosen as the trust has a number of black cats who often get overlooked.

Organiser Joanna Crinks said: “A lot of our cats are black and, unfortunately, black cats are the least popular – they always get left behind.”

There will be craft stalls, a cake stall and a car boot sale, along with a tombola and a raffle.

Tickets for the raffle and tombola are available from the clinic, with prizes donated by local businesses.

There will also be a silent auction running for a pet portrait worth £50.

A pet photographer and facepainter will also be in attendance, as will reenactment group The Road To Mandalay.

Visitors will be able to meet some of the Hart cats needing loving new homes.

Joanna said: “We’re really hoping the community will pull together and make this a successful day. Our aim is to raise £1,000.”
