Around Christmas time I heard an appeal from the RSPCA on the radio for people to make blankets for cold furballs.  I can’t stand the thought of a cold furball, so I got crocheting and made this one:

We have an RSPCA branch near by and I had some bits for their charity shop so I took it down today.  It turns out that most RSPCA branches are actually independent and self funded, and in the case of the one here didn’t have a connection to the central campaign.

But they were SO happy to get a brand new blanket that a cat could have there and be re-homed with that it seemed just as important at the Pet Food Bank.  So  I left that one with them and maybe I’ll send the next one that I started last night in the post to the central campaign.

I just thought I’d pop this on here incase anyone else has bit of wool to use up and a bit of time to knit or hook one while watching TV or travelling on a train or being a passenger in a car or (If you knit or crochet, you know this list can go on and on).

It seems like such an easy way to help a fur ball that needs a bit of extra love and to spread a smile.  Everything (other than the wool and your time) you need is here here  🙂
