£1m wildlife grant and a shy cat named Elvis: local animal support takes two forms

A new £1m grant programme will help local communities protect threatened green spaces and wildlife sites, BBC News Gloucestershire reported [1]. Separately, St Giles Animal Rescue thanked local supporters as it looks for a patient forever home for Elvis, a shy black cat who needs to learn to trust again [2]. Read together, the reports show local involvement in animal welfare spanning both wild habitats and domestic rescue animals.
