Every animal deserves love, comfort, and a little bit of joy – especially those waiting for their forever home.
Our Shoebox Appeal is the perfect way to spread festive joy to animals in need. By filling a shoebox with treats, toys, blankets, and other goodies, you can help make this Christmas extra special for the cats and dogs waiting for their forever homes.
Whether you’re a long-time supporter or joining us for the first time, your generosity will directly brighten the days of cats and dogs who need it most. It’s easy to get involved, and every shoebox counts.
Together, we can show our animals that they are loved, valued, and never forgotten.
How to take part
Each box can be filled with treats, toys, blankets, and other goodies to bring comfort and joy to cats and dogs waiting for their forever homes.
Once you have lovingly filled your shoebox, you can drop it into our centre at Beechmeadow Farm, Elmcote Lane, GL2 7AS.
If visiting the centre isn’t convenient, you can also drop your shoebox at any of our local charity shops. Your contribution will still go directly to helping our animals have a festive and happy Christmas. Our charity shop locations can be found here.
Donate a digital shoebox
If you can’t make it to the centre or a shop, you can still take part by donating a digital shoebox for £15. By completing the form below, your donation will provide treats, toys, and cosy essentials for the animals in our care, helping make their Christmas truly special.
Every shoebox, whether physical or digital, makes a real difference. Join us in spreading joy and showing our animals that they are loved this festive season.
