IT’S a double celebration for an animal charity shop in Worcester.

After waiting almost a year for a new sign, Cats Protection in St Johns can now enjoy its new look.

Fran Holder, shop manager, said: "We are pleased to be looking a lot smarter, we would like people to come and admire it."

"I would particularly like to thank all the volunteers for making it such a success,” she said.

“I am proud to be part of a great team."

The feline welfare charity, which moved to a larger shop last year, celebrates its one year anniversary at its new location.

The new shop has brought in a lot of trade and continues to raise money for the Worcester branch, Miss Holder confirmed.

Miss Holder also said: "I would particularly like to thank all the volunteers for making it such a success.

"I am proud to be part of a great team.

"Also a huge thank you to all the customers who shop and donate to the shop and have become part of our team too."
