To Our Loyal Supporters,
We have faced many different challenges over the years, but we are currently faced with one of the most significant yet. The cost of living crisis has hit us hard, rising vet bills and running costs combined with the increase in the need for rescue places following the COVID-19 pandemic, is depleting our funds to the desperate point which we cannot sustain.
Unfortunately, this situation has forced us to temporarily limit the number of animals we can help whilst we explore ways to bring in much needed income. However, despite the uncertain times we face, we are here for you, as we have always been.
Our Sanctuary has been a part of your wonderful community for almost 60 years. It was founded through dedication and passion for rescuing animals in desperate need of a place they could find refuge, safe haven and a home they could call their own. The kindness of the founders paved the way for a better tomorrow for so many animals whose futures would have otherwise been uncertain.
Our amazing team still keep and uphold these values close to their hearts and we will continue to do so as long as we are able to, as for every purr, tail wag and head bump that shows us they are still fighting, so will we.
Please consider how you can help and if you have any questions or ideas, please do not hesitate to contact us.
With gratitude,
Wythall Animal Sanctuary
