Give a rescue animal a Christmas Present

Nick of Time are organising a special shoe box appeal for the animals currently in rescue, many of whom you will have seen on the forum or facebook page looking for kind new homes.

The idea is simple - you fill a shoe box full of goodies and items suitable for either a cat, dog, rabbit, or other pet of your choice - to help you, we have listed a few suggestions of items that might be suitable.

We have provided you also a list of rescues who are participating - we ask that you do not chose a specific dog or cat, rather just a generic animal, so they all get a box each. When you have your box, please PM a member of staff from the Nick of Time team who will provide you with the address of your chosen rescue group.

We would suggest that you consider sending your box recorded delivery if you can - so many things go missing in the post and it would be a shame for an animal to miss out on their Xmas box!

Suggested items - please remember that you can send anything you like, these are just a guide.
