A CAT charity has been overwhelmed at the generosity of the Bolton public after another donation of cash following a theft of their funds. The Bolton and Radcliffe Cats Protection League were left devastated after a thief snatched more than £300 from a town centre fund-raising stall on Victoria Square.
A 50-year-old Bolton woman, who runs a business in Radcliffe, sent them cash to cover the loss and then Barbara Angold, chairman of the long-established charity group, received another £100 donation through the post.
"It is nice to know there are some kind-hearted people still out there. The cats will certainly have a good Christmas now," she said.
The registered charity, which receives no subsidies, relies solely on voluntary donations and fund-raising activities to help pay for food and veterinary bills, totalling more than £1,000 a month.
