Heatons Animal Rescue Group In Stockport Wins £500 From Petplan

Laura Phillips, Account Executive from Petplan, presenting a £500 charity cheque to Sue Henshaw, full time member of staff at Heatons Animal Rescue, and Marvel the kitten Heatons Animal Rescue Group based in Stockport has been awarded a £500 donation from the UK’s largest pet insurance provider, Petplan. The local rescue centre cares for unwanted and abandoned cats and aims to re-home them to responsible and caring people. Bob Meyer, Trustee of Heatons Animal Rescue Group, said “The prize money from Petplan could have not come at a better time for Heatons. Unfortunately we recently had a cat virus outbreak and lost quite a few cats as a result. We’ve now inoculated all the cats in our care and the money will really help towards these costs. We are all so happy to have won.” 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. Petplan 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 commented: “We are pleased to be able to provide this donation to Heatons Animal Rescue Group, they do a fantastic job caring for cats in the community. We also understand what a difficult time it can be re-homing an animal and are glad to offer new owners four 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, Blue Cross and Dogs Trust are just a few of those that have benefited.
