Coronavirus: Peterborough Cat Rescue makes urgent food appeal, Nene Valley Railway cancels services, more council meetings suspended

Peterborough Cat Rescue posted on Facebook saying it is “very low” on both wet and dry cat food, weaning food and wood pellets litter.

It said: “As you can imagine all shops where we get our food from are running very low or are empty (due to Covid-19) and we are struggling to get enough food for all the cats in our care (we have just over 70 cats at the moment).

“That is a lot for a small rescue. If anyone has any food they no longer need please could you consider gifting it to us to help us to feed all our foster furbabies. You can either drop it in our food bins or message us to arrange collection, or you can buy from our wish lists.”

Food bins are located at Sainsbury’s in Bretton and Oxney Road, Morrisons in Cardea and Tesco in Hampton, Werrington, Orton Wistow and Market Deeping.

Food can also be ordered through Pet Products R Us. Visit: https://www.petproductsrus.co.uk/collections/pboro-cat-rescue and put in the postcode PE2 5PD. Delivery is free and the cat rescue gets five per cent back.

The Amazon wish list can be viewed at: https://www.amazon.co.uk/registry/wishlist/A5JG84JYNWW0/.

Meanwhile, Nene Valley Railway has confirmed it has cancelled its services on Wednesday and closed its café.

And Cambridgeshire County Council has cancelled its full council meeting this evening. It added: “We are awaiting further government guidance regarding future meetings.”

Peterborough City Council yesterday announced it was suspending its meetings.
