ANIMAL lovers in York have been asked to spare £1 to help feed lost and unwanted pets in the city this Christmas.

More than 230 people have already donated to give animals 1,389 meals, as part of the annual RSPCA York Animal Home’s Christmas Appeal, which was launched last week.

A spokeswoman said: “Please can you spare just £1?

“If you do, you will be buying three meals for the animals not in their own homes for Christmas but in our care. Tick the Gift Aid option and it will be four meals you are buying.”

To take part, text DINN14 £1 to 70070.
