Animal lovers are encouraged to donate two very specific items to a Scottish rescue centre.
The Scottish SPCA has issued a plea for vegetables and washing powder for animals in the National Wildlife Centre in Fishcross.
The centre, in Clackmannanshire, rescued over 9,600 wild animals last year and is supported by other centres across Scotland, including one in Aberdeenshire.
To make vulnerable animals feel as comfortable as possible staff use numerous blankets and for the dogs, cats and other wildlife in their care.
To ensure germs are not passed on they are washed routinely at the centre.
Centre manager Colin Seddon said, “We are constantly caring for a large number of Scotland’s wild animals and because of this, we are struggling to keep up with the demand for fresh vegetables and washing powder.
“We are very lucky that people regularly hand in items to our centre.
“We hope kind-hearted locals will get behind our appeal as it would make lots of animals very happy.”
Fresh vegetables and washing powder can be handed in at the Scottish SPCA Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre in Drumoak, Banchory between 10am and 4pm.
Alternatively, washing powder can be bought via the centre’s Amazon wish list.
