A VETERINARY practice has shown its support for a local animal charity. Hexham-based Scott Mitchell Associates Veterinary Practice has supported RSPCA Northumberland West with a donation of tasty cat treats. One hundred cats will enjoy a month’s supply of Add One®, allowing them a daily salmon paste treat in the lead up to Christmas and beyond. The practice team is delighted to help brighten up the festive season with some stocking fillers for our four-legged friends. Small animal project manager Lucy Swinton said: It s a pleasure to support RSPCA Northumberland West with this donation. Treats can play an integral part in forming a bond, especially if animals are nervous of human interaction.
