Leave a legacy gift in your will

Gifts in wills fund vital work, transforming the lives of animals now and in the future.

Over a third of our work is only possible because of kind supporters who have remembered us in their wills. Their generosity can be seen throughout our centre and beyond.

How leaving a gift in your will could transform lives

• Care and comfort. From the moment a cat or dog arrives, our dedicated team provides the essentials they need to settle in before guiding them on their rehoming journey.
• Lifesaving veterinary care. Every cat and dog needs medical attention, from routine treatments like neutering and microchipping to critical, lifesaving surgeries.
• Community outreach. Gifts in wills extend beyond our centre, helping us support pets and owners in our local community. Through outreach programs and essential medical care, we keep loved pets with their families and improve animal welfare where it’s needed most.
