Love Your Pet Day takes place on 20 February and it’s a great day to show your love for our little furry friends.

Whether you’re a cat lover, a dog lover or you’ve got a family of chimpanzees sharing your home with you, today’s the day to spoil them even more than you normally do and show them how much they mean to your family.

If you love pets but don’t have any at uni you could still get involved by calling by your local RSPCA or pet rescue centre and making a donation of food or treats. You could also look into how to volunteer to spend a little time at your local pet rescue centre maybe walking one of the dogs there or giving a little bit of your time to the cats at the cattery. Here are some rescue centres in Leeds…
