How to Donate
Donations are so desperately needed
and very much appreciated. The rescue is primarily self-funded
and our annual costs for food, bedding and vets bills average
around £15,000. Frightening!
DID YOU KNOW?
To feed and house just ONE healthy rat at CavyRescue costs an
average of £118 every year. This is without treats; the
cost of a cage or toys; or visits to the vet.
Future plans for donations – once we have raised
enough money to cover our ongoing costs – are to educate individuals
and organisations about the needs of rats and all small animals.
DID YOU KNOW?
To feed, care for and house just ONE rat at CavyRescue with
ongoing respiratory disease – such as the 27 currently at the
Rescue - costs an average of £330 every year. This is
without treats; the cost of a cage or toys; or visits to the
vet.
Our charitable aims are:
"To promote humane behaviour towards domesticated rats
bred or owed as pets by providing appropriate care, protection,
treatment and security for those which are in need of care and
attention by reason of sickness, maltreatment, poor circumstances
or ill usage and to educate the public (including those who
breed and / or trade in domesticated rats) in matters pertaining
to animal welfare in general and the prevention of cruelty and
suffering among animals"
