They’d like to say a huge thank you to the NHS and keyworkers who are working so hard to care for and vaccinate the population so our lives can return to as close to normal soon. In 2020 NAWT Berkshire helped to care for and rehome 182 animals and your continued support gives all the animals here a fighting chance at a brighter and happier future. They never stop caring and will stop at nothing to give all animals the best care possible. Smithy’s, their bargain pet shop, has moved online and has a great range of dog, cat, bird and small animal feed at up to 70 per cent off retail price.
