Cat lover donates 300 teddy bears
Donald
Ten-year-old Donald has been with Cats Protection for five months since he was picked up as a stray.

Curious cat Donald went to inspect the new arrivals

A cat lover has donated a whopping 300 teddy bears of varying shapes and sizes to charity.

The stuffed toys, which were given to Cats Protection, will be sold to raise money for unwanted cats - including 10-year-old Donald, who went to inspect the donations.

Donald has now been looking for a home for five months, after he was picked up as a stray and taken to Cats Protection's centre in Sussex.

Staff at the charity say the beautiful white cat loves nothing more than a warm lap in which to curl up.

While he needs a home without other cats or young children, the older gent gets along with calm dogs and is chatty and friendly.

To view Cats Protection's resident felines up for adoption, visit www.cats.org.uk. Those interested in adopting Donald should call 08707 708 650.
