Help needed so Wendy can continue to save cats

$935 donated
Given by 17 generous donors in 17 days

This Page has been created to help Wendy with ongoing costs to save homeless cats

Karaka, Auckland

Wendy is one of those people who quietly makes the world a better place, one rescued cat at a time.

For years, Wendy has dedicated her own time, home, and finances to rescuing abandoned, injured, and unwanted cats in our Local community. She takes them in when they have nowhere else to go, providing safety, warmth, food, and love while she works tirelessly to get them healthy and ready for adoption.

This isn’t a shelter with funding or paid staff, it’s Wendy opening her heart and home again and again. She covers the cost of food, litter, vet visits, desexing, flea and worm treatments, and emergency care herself, many of the cats she helps need medical attention or long periods of care before they’re ready to find their forever homes.

Despite the emotional and financial strain, Wendy never turns her back on an animal in need, every cat she fosters is treated as family, and every adoption is carefully considered to make sure it’s the right, permanent home.

We’re raising funds to help Wendy continue this vital work. Donations will go directly toward:

Vet bills

Food and litter

Desexing and medical treatments

Ongoing rescue and foster care costs

Any contribution, big or small, will make a real difference. By supporting Wendy, you’re not just helping one person; you’re giving vulnerable cats a second chance at life, safety, and love.

Thank you for supporting someone who gives so much, simply because she cares.

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.
