Aberdeen animal shelter launches shoe box appeal for Christmas

Mrs. Murray’s Home for Stray Dogs and Cats in Aberdeen has launched a shoe box appeal for Christmas.

The animal shelter, which recently celebrated its 130th anniversary, is calling on locals to fill the boxes with cosy blankets, treats and toys for cats and dogs who will be in their care over the festive period.

Animal-lovers can leave their shoe boxes at the animal shelter on Brickfield in East Seaton or at one of the drop off points.
