HOW YOUR CANINE CUPPA CLUB COULD HELP
- £50 could help provide a session of specialist hydrotherapy to get a Battersea dog back on their feet after surgery and improve their quality of life while they wait to find their new home.
- £100 could help nervous cats settle in when they first come to Battersea, by providing them with a cat tree, scratching post and treats to make the place their own.
- £300 could help provide specialist bedding to keep animals comfortable and warm after surgery.
Your Support
By taking part in Canine Cuppa Club, you'll help us continue to be here for every dog and cat, however they need us and wherever they are.
Your fundraising could help animals like Pearl, a four-month-old kitten who was brought into Battersea after being found limping around a park. As her back leg was bent at an unusual angle, Battersea’s Clinic team determined it would need to be removed as it was causing her discomfort. However, despite her challenges, it didn’t take her long to find a new home where she now loves to leap around and has even developed a talent for catching flies.
