Story

Please help us to make this Christmas the best one yet for homeless animals in need.

Tragically many of the animals we care for have suffered terrible experiences like Snoopy and Rupert. For many of the animals with us, this may be the first Christmas they’ve spent in a safe environment with the love and care they so desperately deserve.

Can you help us to make this Christmas the best yet by making a donation to our Christmas dinner appeal? Your donation will support our work, by helping to keep a homeless animals’ food bowl full with nutritious food over the festive season. 

It costs approximately £9,000 per week to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome the many animals that need our help to find safe and loving homes. However, as the temperatures drop our costs rise, keeping our animals warm isn’t cheap and the financial load increases – but with your support to help cover these costs, we know that we can provide an unforgettable Christmas for the right reasons.

Every penny raised through this appeal will go directly towards alleviating this burden and will help us to meet the needs of the animals in our care this Christmas. Sadly, many of the animals that we take in require specialist foods relieving cases of nervous tummy through to specialist post-operative diets.

Whilst we can’t heal the psychological trauma from their experiences, your donation means we can provide the specialist care and cuddles they thoroughly deserve. 

The joy the animals get from play sessions, even if a little unwell or downhearted is a wonder to behold – they really are inspiring. Your donation means you can be with the Centre in spirit as we provide a comforting and nutritious Christmas dinner, play and dedicated care on their road to recovery. 

On behalf of all the animals at the Centre, we’d like to say a big thank you for keeping our safe haven full of festive spirit and for helping to make this, their best Christmas yet. 

Thank you.
