The RSPCA asks for knitted handmade blankets for animals – BBC

The charity is appealing for knitters to help offer comfort, warmth and security to animals, as the cost-of-living crisis leaves many families struggling to care for their pets.
Blankets will be distributed through the RSPCA's Pet Food Bank Partnership as part of its Big Give Back to Animals appeal.
Alison Fletcher, the RSPCA's national lead for pet food banks, said: "Every pet deserves warmth, comfort and care, especially during winter."
