Harrogate Cat Rescue has received a three-tonne donation of cat food – enough to feed 80 cats for an entire year.
Yorkshire-founded Hurayra Pet Food has made the donation as part of its ongoing support for the local rescue, which cares for vulnerable cats from Harrogate and the surrounding area.
The donation is expected to significantly reduce one of the charity’s biggest day-to-day costs, allowing more of its funds to be spent on veterinary treatment, shelter and rehabilitation.
Hurayra, which launched last year, has worked with Harrogate Cat Rescue throughout the past 12 months and also supports other cat shelters across the UK.
Ahitsham Rashid, Managing Director of Hurayra, said:
“Hurayra was founded in Yorkshire, and we are proud that our growth allows us to support organisations making a real difference here in our home county and beyond.
“Harrogate Cat Rescue carries out incredibly important work for cats and families across the local community. We hope this donation will ease some of the pressure on the rescue and help its dedicated team continue providing the care these cats deserve.”
Hurayra produces natural cat food which is free from fillers including wheat, grain and artificial additives.
The company also allows customers to purchase food packages at a reduced rate to be donated directly to a cat shelter of their choice.
Celia, founder of Harrogate Cat Rescue, said:
“This is an extraordinarily generous donation, and we are hugely grateful to Hurayra for its continued support over the past year.
“Food is one of our most significant and constant expenses, so receiving enough to feed 80 cats for a year will make a tremendous difference.
“Having a quality product for our cats and kittens to enjoy is just fantastic. We are facing increasing demands for our services so this donation is truly welcomed.”
The donation comes during a period of expansion for Hurayra, which is adding wet food to its existing dry cat food range.
The Yorkshire business is also developing distribution plans for the USA alongside further expansion into Asian and European markets.
Hurayra products are available through the company's website and in selected Morrisons stores nationwide, while customers can also donate food directly to Harrogate Cat Rescue through Hurayra.
