A new market stall is proving to be simply purr-fect for animal lovers.

An animal shelter has set up stall on Westhoughton Market.

Destitute Animal Shelter's stall, only open until Christmas, has been up since the start of the month and is fuelled solely by donations.

The space is free of charge at the minute, and features a range of items, from clothes and accessories to ornaments and toys.

Karen Fowler, the stall's manager, said: "We're so overwhelmed with kindness, I love it when people come in and see what they can donate or buy.

"We've got some great items, at great prices, for a great cause. We've filled it with donations that the locals have given us."

The space is roughly nine by 11 feet in size, filled with generous donations- and even some Christmas theme gifts ahead of the festive season.

Roughly a third of the items in the stall has come from their shop on Chorley Old Road, which reopened this year.

Of course, all the money donated goes back into the charity and onto the animals in their care.

Val Marhsall, who's a volunteer for the shelter, said: "I'm retired and love to give back. I sell in the shop on Chorley Old Road, I work hard then when I get home, I'm shattered."

"I keep popping into the stall because I live locally."

The charity has roots to the 1920's, and it is dedicated to caring for lost, stray, and abandoned dogs and cats in Bolton. The charity noted rehoming over 450 animals a year.
