Whether it purrs, barks, hops or clops, Steve, Noel and Kate introduce viewers to a menagerie of animals, calling on the nation to find them the loving homes they deserve. They meet ex-shelter pets who've gone on to greatness, and help local would-be pet parents find their perfect playmate. Also tonight, Leona Lewis shares her love of giving shelter animals a second chance in life. For the next five nights, cats, dogs, rabbits, horses, parrots and pigs are seeking your help. So if Britain really is a nation of animal lovers, now's the time to prove it.

Steve Jones, Kate Quilton and Professor Noel Fitzpatrick continue with the third night of this week-long animal rescue show, coming live from the Newcastle Dog and Cat Shelter. Their mission is simple: to find homes for all the animals currently living at the shelter and from other shelters around the UK. Cats, dogs, rabbits, horses, parrots and pigs will all be seeking the viewers' help. So, if Britain really is a nation of animal lovers, now's the time to prove it.
