Every paw deserves a warm winter

This winter, help cats and dogs in need find warmth, comfort and a brighter future.

For animals arriving at Bath Cats & Dogs Home frightened, unwell or in pain, winter can be an especially difficult time. Your donation could help provide the warmth, veterinary treatment, food and loving care they need to begin again.

 
Last winter, Juno needed somewhere safe

When Juno was found alone on a main road last winter, she was in a terrible state. A shoelace was tied around her neck, she was severely underweight, and her feet and skin were sore.

She needed urgent care, but she was also frightened and unsure of the people trying to help her. During her first weekend with us, Juno wore a little jumper to help keep her warm as she began her journey towards recovery.

At first, Juno was so scared that she refused to leave her kennel. She needed time, patience and support from our veterinary and behaviour teams to begin to feel safe again. 

 
With the right care, Juno slowly began to recover. Eventually, she found what every dog deserves: a loving home of her own, where she could settle in with her new family and their lurcher, who had also been adopted from us.

Juno's story shows what's possible when an animal in need gets a second chance. But there are more cats and dogs who need our help this winter.
 

Your winter gift could make all the difference

Your donation could help provide the essentials that keep animals comfortable, warm and cared for while they wait for their second chance.

£10 A cosy place to rest
Could help provide warm, comfortable bedding for an animal with nowhere safe to sleep.

£25 A tummy full of goodness
Could help provide nourishing meals for hungry cats and dogs in our care.

£50 Comfort on a cold night
Could help provide blankets, bedding and other essentials to keep animals comfortable this winter.

£100 The gift of a second chance
Could help provide vital veterinary treatment for an animal in need.

Every gift matters. If you can give a different amount, your donation could still help make a real difference to an animal this winter.

Give a little warmth. Change a life.

Juno's journey from a frightened, unwell dog to a much-loved family member was made possible by the care she received.

This winter, you could help another cat or dog take their first steps towards a brighter future.

Please donate to our Winter Warmer Appeal today and help us be there for the animals who need us most.

Thank you for helping cats and dogs find comfort, care and hope this winter.
