Give the Gift of Hope!
Help us continue our mission to support animals in need this Christmas!
As costs continue to steeply rise, demand for our rescue services has grown dramatically. Every day, more animals require our care, many through no fault of their own but as victims of challenging circumstances. Now more than ever, we need your support to ensure we can keep providing a safe haven for animals in need, both now and in the future.
This year has been one of our busiest yet. Despite the challenges, our team works tirelessly, 365 days a year - including through the festive season - to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals. From pets left homeless after their owners have passed away to animals surrendered due to rising veterinary costs, we’ve provided love, care, and a second chance to hundreds of animals.
Between January and November 2024 alone, we’ve rehomed hundreds of animals - including an incredible 500+ cats!
