Scottish Exotic Animal Rescue in Nairn receives £18,000 grant to help fund its new van

Scottish Exotic Animal Rescue has received a £18,000 grant from Support Adoption For Pets – the UK’s largest grant giving animal charity – to help towards a new van.

Nick Martin, founder of the rescue centre in Nairn, said: “The grant will benefit our branch by covering the cost of a new van to help transport the animals we rescue, rehabilitate and rehome.

“The cost of offering the best care for the pets we take in can often add up so that’s where the grant will be a huge help to us and we are exceptionally thankful to the Support Adoption For Pets team.”

Laura Messenger, grant funding co-ordinator at Support Adoption For Pets, said: “It is a real privilege to be able to help such an important organisation that works tirelessly to care for and rehome pets in need. They are doing a remarkable job.”

Pets at Home founded the charity Support Adoption For Pets in 2006 and since then it has helped more than 1000 rehoming centres and animal welfare organisations across the UK.
