Freshfields Animal Rescue Wins £500 From Petplan

Freshfields Animal Rescue based in Ince Blundell, Liverpool, has won a valuable £500 donation from the UK’s favourite pet insurance provider, Petplan. Petplan Business Developer, Pauline Wellbelove with Freshfields Animal Rescue Centre staff The animal rescue charity, which cares for abandoned, abused and unwanted animals across Liverpool, intends to put the Petplan donation towards maintenance of the rescue centre. Helen Stanbury General Manager of Freshfields Animal Rescue said, “We are absolutely thrilled to be lucky enough to be this month’s Petplan charity cheque prize winner. The money will be a huge help and we’ll be able to use it on maintenance that we have been unable to do. We are very happy to be associated with Petplan because they provide us with a number of benefits including being able to offer 4 weeks free pet insurance for any animal re-homed from our centre.” 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. Neil Brettell, Director of Petplan says, “We are pleased to be able to provide this donation to Freshfields Animal Rescue, 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.
