A CAT rescue charity wants to publically thank a young boy who donated his pocket money after the cat belonging to the founder of the charity died.
Marnie Buckland, founder and CEO of Cat Watch Wiltshire, recently shared the sad news that her own cat, Biscuits, had died after a road accident.
Biscuits was a popular character among locals, and very much loved in her neighbourhood.

Marnie received some lovely messages paying tribute to Biscuits, and one in particular stood out.
A letter from her young neighbour, Darren, was sent to Marnie, and upon opening it she discovered a heartfelt message, a drawing of Biscuits, and a generous donation.
Darren had contributed £10 of his pocket money to Cat Watch, in order to "help the other kitties."
The full message reads: "Dear Marnie, I know you will miss Biscuits.
"Here is a picture of him also here is £10 of my pocket money to help the other kitties.
"Love from Darren."
Alongside the message was a drawing of Biscuits.
Marnie, and the team at Cat Watch were moved by the thoughtful gesture.
The Cat Watch team issued a message on behalf of Marnie, which reads: "All of us at Cat Watch would like to thank all those who have been in touch with Marnie - you've added some warmth at a very sad time."
On Facebook, the charity said: "It’s been an awful time but the kindness shown to Marnie by her neighbours and community is heartwarming."
