Glasgow centre asks animal lovers to help with daily care for hundreds of animals.
The Scottish SPCA is appealing to animal lovers across the UK to donate non-biological washing powder to its Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre in Glasgow.
As well as caring for hundreds of dogs and cats every day, the centre also has rooms for birds, exotics, ferrets and rabbits, and a wildlife shed where it can hold wild animals in need of treatment until they can be transported to the National Wildlife Rescue Centre.
Donations are vital to the charity's efforts to provide daily care for these animals, as it receives no government funding.
“It may not seem like the most obvious item a rehoming centre would need but washing powder is actually vital to the everyday running of the centre,” said centre assistant manager Katrina Cavanagh.
“We do constant loads of washing on a daily basis and washing powder is essential to make sure animals... have clean bedding to keep them comfy and cosy while they wait for their forever home.
“If anyone can help with washing powder we would appreciate anything that people can spare.”
Anyone wishing to donate can order the items through any retailer offering online delivery to the centre or direct from the centre's Amazon wishlist.
