Watch the heart-warming moment rescue cats and dogs are gifted cosy beds ahead of Bonfire Night

Bonfire Night can be a cause for celebration – unless, that is, you’re a cat or a dog.

Fireworks are an unpopular subject among pet owners and can be a living nightmare for cats and dogs.

And that’s why Online Home Shop (OHS) decided to donate cosy beds to all the cats and dogs at Bolton Destitute Animal Shelter.

The popular online retailer took us along to meet some of the animals currently under the care of the shelter and waiting for their forever homes.

The rescue charity is dedicated to caring for the lost, stray and abandoned dogs and cats around Bolton, successfully rehoming around 450 animals a year.

Those staying here at the moment include French bulldog Betty, playful Staffie-cross Nala, and adorable doodle and spaniel duo Rocco and Ralph.

And that’s just the dogs – we also met the toothless gentleman Dodger, mischievous kitten trio Knox Lumos and Fawkes, and two-week-old siblings Lux and Faith.

Then upstairs in the mum and baby room, OHS handed a soft pet bed to Elvira and the tiny fluffball that is Ghost, her kitten.

All of them have ended up here because of situations totally out of their control, whether that’s the death of their owners or a change in circumstance.

And all of them are desperately looking for new families – especially tonight, when the fireworks will bang overhead at the kennels.

OHS has hoped that donating these cosy, soft beds will help make tonight a little less stressful for the animals.

You can see all the animals in need of a new home and arrange a meeting through Bolton Destitute Animal Shelter’s Facebook page HERE.
