Generous donors have made up the cost of a stolen St Albans cat charity gazebo in a matter of days.

St Albans Cat Protection has already ordered the new gazebo after its £450 predecessor was stolen last week.

Organiser Sandi Downing said: “We’re very grateful.

“We will not get the other stuff back but the main thing is the gazebo.

“The new gazebo has been ordered and it will be three to four weeks before it arrives.

“However we will not need it until June.”

The group crowdfunded the money needed, and managed to raise over £500 in a matter of days, thanks to a number of generous donations.

The charity will be bringing the new equipment out for the Oaklands Summer Fayre on Sunday, June 11.
