Animal rescue centre extension dedicated to Rikki Fulton
Comedian Tony Roper has unveiled a memorial plaque
Comedian Tony Roper has dedicated new kennels at Scottish SPCA's Glasgow Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre to legendary performer Rikki Fulton and his wife Kate.
The new £6 million extension to what was formerl known as the Glasgow Dog and Cat Home was opened in December 2016.
Chief Superintendent Mike Flynn said, “We are indebted to Rikki and Kate Fulton for all their support over the years. The development of our centre in Glasgow was made possible in part by a hugely generous legacy donation left to the centre by both Rikki and Kate.
“We had limited space available on which to build so developed an innovative solution with our two tiered kennel blocks. They are the first of their kind in Scotland and increased our kennel spaces from 99 to 150.
“Dedicating one of these blocks to Rikki and Kate felt like a fitting tribute for all of their support.”
Tony Roper said, “I’m delighted to be invited along to unveil the dedication for Rikki and Kate. They both passionately supported Glasgow Dog and Cat Home, and really believed in the value of the Scottish SPCA.
“The extension here has allowed the charity to rescue and save the lives of even more animals and I know Rikki and Kate would be proud to see that their contribution helped make this all possible.”
