What about food?
We would love donations of unopened cat and dog food! We have partnerships with Royal Canin and SavourLife that provides yummy food for the animals in our shelter, however we can use your generous donation of food to support vulnerable pet owners in our community 💙
Bedding
To keep costs low, we have purpose-made, easy to wash bedding for our pets. So, we can't put duvets, pillows or donated bedding to good use. Sorry.
Medication
Unfortunately, we aren't able to accept donations of medicine.
Vet Clinic Supplies
Our clinic team welcome donations of:
• Gauze swabs (expired is OK as we can use for dentals or re-autoclave them)
• Medical tape
• Unopened conforming bandage
• Saline flush (individual ampules)
• Scissors
• Individual disinfectant (alcohol) swabs
• Melolin/Melolite wound dressings
Note: we cannot accept general medical supplies (including expired or partially used supplies) or ANY needles / insulin syringes.
