They took her to the charity’s Merthyr Clinic to make sure she was okay and then RSPCA Gwent Branch animal welfare officer Fiona Thomas returned her home to her delightful owners – Jinx had been missing for a few days by this point. Ms Thomas said: “It was great to be able to support the RSPCA and take this cat home. “It’s a great reminder as to the advantages of getting a cat microchipped – as without this chip, we’d have had no idea where the cat came from and she was so far away from home.

Support Adoption For Pets charity manager, Amy Angus, said: “Our message was simple over Valentine’s Day weekend and it’s one that we’re really passionate about as a charity. We’re here to share the love and surprising RSPCA Newport Adoption Centre with a donation of £2,000 meant the world to them. “The impact of Covid-19 is monumental and rescue centres continue to fall under real pressure. We’re reaching out to provide them with much needed financial help and to do our best to ensure that abandoned pets are given a second chance of happiness. “Not only has the charity surprised rescue centres with nearly £600,000, but we have increased our emergency grant programme by £400,000 so centres can apply for funding during these difficult times.”
