We need your help to raise $50,000 to cover our vet bills for 2023, so we can ‘say yes’ to saving more surrendered, injured, unwell and unwanted animals during this time of cost of living and housing crisis.
The increased cost of living and housing scarcity has created a crisis. There is a silent victim of this crisis – animals.
We have seen a 60% rise in surrender requests in January alone, as people can no longer afford to care for their animals, or they no longer have appropriate housing.
The cost of living and housing crisis is having a huge impact
We are in the same boat as everyone else, facing the impact of the crisis and managing the same economic challenges – rising vet bill, skyrocketing cost of animal feed, and the reality of a steady decline in sanctuary sponsorship.
To ensure our financial stability we made the difficult decision to close our gates to new surrenders.
Saying no is breaking our hearts
We can’t stand by while animals suffer. We know you can’t either.
After many sleepless nights and much discussion. We have a plan, and we need your help
We need to continue to look after the animals in our care and continue to save lives
To do that, we need the financial certainty that our current operations are funded.
$50,000 will cover our medical and specialised feed bills for 2023 and give us the financial security to say ‘yes’ to the animals who desperately need our help.
As a community we can do this. We’ve pulled off miracles in the past, let’s do it again.
We’re asking our incredible community for help to save lives by spreading the word about the campaign and financially donating where you can – every bit helps.
