Myra Grove, Centre manager from Bluebell Ridge, said: “We are really looking forward to our Christmas Fair and we would love for you to join us. “Christmas is our busiest time of year and our centre will be full of abused, abandoned and stray cats, despite the fact this should be a happy time of year.

“All proceeds raised from this event will help us to care for rescue cats over the Christmas period.

“Also, during the winter months, our heating bill is much higher keeping the cats nice and warm, so we greatly need your support this time of year.”

Bluebell Ridge is owned and operated by the Sussex East and Hastings Branch of the RSPCA, which is a separate charity within the national body and is entirely self-funded.

Each year the Branch has to raise over £150,000 to keep the centre open

The Christmas Fair will be taking place at the Bluebell Ridge Centre at Chowns Hill, just off The Ridge in Hastings. This event will be held outside, so please wrap up warm.
