What do you get animal lovers for gifts? There's a huge range of products on the market, of course, but how about a meaningful gift to make a difference to animals such as wildlife, livestock or pets? Here are a few examples...
The Blue Cross have been helping sick, injured and homeless pets – and their owners – since 1897. This year, they are working harder than ever to help animals coming in, with veterinary care, rehoming help, pet bereavement support, pet food bank activities and advice for owners. Find out about donating to their emergency care box to help them care for animal such as cats, dogs and rabbits.
Network for Animals are asking for donations of $20 to sterilise a street cat in Lamu, Kenya. There are 10,000 cats who call the Lamu Archipelago home, and they have a fight for survival every day, battling hunger and disease. Network for Animals wants to break the cycle of “birth, hunger, disease and death” for these cats by sterilisation. They launched a trap, neuter and return programme back in 2001 and have been working to sterilise as many street cats as possible on the islands of Lamu and Pate. Please help them continue this work and donate. £15 or $20 will sterilise one cat.
