I WRITE on behalf of the Swindon branch of Cats Protection to say a heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported us at this year's festival.

As we made our way through town in our cat outfits, the people of Swindon filled our collection buckets to the tune of £84.57. They continued their support for us by spending £228.87 on our stall.

All the volunteers had a great day even if we did get our tails pulled!

This money will be put to good use as we help all stray and abandoned cats and kittens in the area.

Thank you to everyone who supported us. If you want to see how we spend the money we raise throughout the year, log on to www.swindoncp.freeserve.co.uk
