Cornwall RSPCA Receives £500 Donation From Petplan

The RSPCA, in Cornwall, has been awarded a £500 donation from the UK’s largest pet insurance provider, Petplan. The local rescue centre provides shelter and veterinary care for sick, injured, stray and abandoned dogs in the surrounding area. RSPCA Cornwall Centre Manager, Julia Pattinson said, “We are currently running a Golden Oldies Campaign to help raise funds to care for older pets so this money has come at a great time! The dog in the picture is Dennis, a 10 year old Rottweiler who has had two much needed eye operations costing £1,600 which were paid for by this fund." Working with more re-homing charities than any other insurer, Petplan helps fund the care of thousands of homeless cats and dogs throughout the UK. 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. Isabella Von Mesterhazy, Head of Marketing at Petplan says, “We are pleased to be able to provide this donation to the RSPCA, they do a fantastic job caring for dogs 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.” Petplan is committed to aiding the valuable work that re-homing shelters do. Charities such as Battersea, Cats Protection and Blue Cross are just a few of those that have benefited.
