The small local caring rescue service centre has been running since 1987 and provides shelter and veterinary care for sick, injured, stray and abandoned cats and dogs in the surrounding area.  

Joanne Cooper, Centre Manager of Alsager Animals in Need said, “We’re so surprised to have won this money. We would like to thank Petplan for this donation. The money will be used to fund the rescue work we do.”

The donation will go towards helping cover some of the main costs to run the centre which are kennelling, veterinary bills, food, advertising, erecting and maintaining the cat shelters and dog pens. .

Petplan works with more re-homing charities than any other insurer to help fund the care of thousands of homeless cats and dogs. They offer four weeks free insurance to every owner adopting pets through the shelters it supports and also offers free insurance vouchers to visitors and supporters of the charities. Each month a prize draw is held from all the insurance vouchers issued and one charity benefits from the prize fund.

Alison Andrew, Marketing Manager for Petplan says, “We are pleased to be able to provide this donation to the Alsager Animals In Need centre, they do a fantastic job caring for animals in the community. We also understand what a difficult time it can be re-homing an animal and are glad to offer new owners 4 weeks free cover to give them this extra peace of mind during the first few weeks of their pet’s life in a new environment. Having your pet insured is an important part of taking care of its future health and it also helps you to plan any unforeseen veterinary costs.”

Petplan is committed to aiding the valuable work that re-homing shelters do. Charities such as Battersea, Cats Protection, Blue Cross and Dogs Trust are just a few of those that have benefited.
