A Fresh Start Begins With A Healthy Smile

$1,085 of $2,194 goal
Given by 28 generous donors in 5 weeks

Sandy & Cinderella needed essential dental work costing $2,193.99. Any support helps us continue caring for cats in need.

Christchurch, Canterbury

We currently have two beautiful older ladies in our care who both needed dentals before they could be ready for adoption.

Our shy but sweet girl Sandy needed 5 teeth removed along with a full dental clean.

Lovely Cinderella (whos nearly 12yrs old) needed 1 tooth removed and a clean.

The total for both procedures came to $2,193.99.

Dentals are unfortunately not cheap, but they are absolutely essential for a cat’s comfort and long-term health. We will always say yes to the treatment they need even when the bills are tough.

Our adult adoption fee is $150, which barely covers the cost of desexing alone. Every cat and kitten adopted from us is desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, parasite treated, and given any additional veterinary care required before going to their forever homes.

If you are able to help us with a donation towards Sandy and Cinderella’s dental bills, we would be so incredibly grateful.

Every dollar truly makes a difference and helps us continue caring for cats who need us most.

Thank you for your ongoing support

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
