A cat charity is purring with delight after a response to an appeal. More than 500 tins and sachets of pet food, along with toys, have been handed in at a collection point in Keighley’s Airedale Shopping Centre.

The collection, for Yorkshire Cat Rescue, was started in January after the shopping centre chose its charity of the year.

Centre manager Steve Seymour said: “Yorkshire Cat Rescue came out as the favourite and since then we have been bowled over with the generosity from our shoppers towards this local cause.”
