All animal lovers are being called on to include our furry friends in the festive spirit.

Foal Farm Animal Rescue Centre in Biggin Hill is once again launching their shoebox appeal.

Home to more than 200 animals - including hamsters, horses, cows, dogs, turkeys, sheep, goats and cats - the centre is asking people to donate a little something for the creatures.

Dawn Clanfield, office manager at the centre, said: "Anything, it doesn't matter how big or small is appreciated, we're very grateful for everything we get.

"Receiving donations is important all year round, but because it is Christmas people usually do that bit extra and have more of a giving spirit.

"Last year was really good, and we hope every year tops the previous one!"

Specific lists including food, treats and pyjamas are available on the website, and donations can be made at the farm.

Ms Clanfield said: "The dogs and cats usually do well but the rabbits and horses don't get much!"

She added the turkeys were especially happy as they are not on the festive menu.
