A charity shop in Bath was vandalized on Christmas Day, leading to significant damage and loss of funds for animal care
Bath: A charity shop in Somerset got hit hard on Christmas Day. Thieves broke into the Bath Cats and Dogs Home shop on George Street, leaving it in shambles.
They smashed the main door to get inside and made off with a donation box and some raffle money. It’s just heartbreaking.
This charity depends on public donations to help rescue and care for cats and dogs. Now, they’re facing thousands of pounds in repair costs, which means less money for the animals.
The charity is asking the community for help. They need donations to fix the shop so they can keep caring for the animals.
Jasmine Dyer, the retail manager, expressed her sadness. She said it’s just awful that someone would steal from a charity, especially at Christmas. It’s like a scene from “Bad Santa,” where they broke in and took the gifts.
She added that the shop relies on donations, and the money they make goes directly to rescuing and rehabilitating animals. With the window damage, they’re losing out on profits.
If anyone can pitch in with a donation, it would really help. And if you’re cleaning out after the holidays, consider donating items to the shop. They accept donations at both the shop and the Bath Cats and Dogs Home.
Bath Cats and Dogs Home takes in over ten animals each week, so they always have pets looking for their forever homes. You can check out the available animals on their website.
