Back in February, Nicola Congdon started a fundraiser to try and open a community and pet hub. Nicola is a zoologist that runs The Creature Feature show, which doubles up as a radio show and a community Interest company that provides essential support to people and animals,

Yesterday Nicola was able to announce on social media that the plans will be going ahead, she said: "We have just signed the lease and awaiting completion date on our Pet and Community hub in Falmouth which will be used for Animal Therapy, groups, arts, and craft, space to hire out, emergency services and carers break stop, a friendly space for meetings to be held over a coffee and much much more."

Nicola added that most importantly the area would be a pet-friendly warm space and pet food bank for Falmouth and the surrounding area.

Although an opening date hasn't been confirmed there will be more news coming soon, the hub will be at the top of Old Hill in Falmouth near Macdonalds.

Nicola has previously run a Preventing Pet Poverty campaign, In 2022 alone, the campaign supported over 1000 pets locally and some further afield. They were able to provide food, beds, coats, leads, collars, toys, and harnesses.

In some cases, the campaign saved pets from being abandoned, euthanized, or handed over to stretched overflowing rescues and helped many owners in crisis with referrals to food banks.

If you would like to get involved the team say they will welcome any support or volunteers that would be interested in supporting our work.
