Helping heal the hurt caused by someone else.

Owaka, Otago

On Easter Saturday 2025 Gavin was severely injured and they rushed him to the vets. He had been shot!!! Someone in our small township shot this friendly cat causing serious injuries and pain.

As a result Gavin has lost his leg, and has a long healing journey with his owner's, aswell as an excessive vet bill.

Trish and Shane have always put their hand up to help others in our community, and now it's their turn to lean on us.

One of the many things they've done was during the first lock down, so many people were not prepared for Easter.. They personally paid for and hand delivered Easter eggs to every child to ensure their Easter basket was not empty, anonymously.

They're the first to take in, help, heal and rehome abandoned, injured and or discarded animals. And sadly someone has hurt Gavin by shooting him in the shoulder. He had a lengthy orthopaedic surgery, and as a result has lost his lil leg... With costs increasing as it occured during Easter holidays.

As a member of this community I cannot sit back and watch these beautiful caring, selfless people have to struggle with the damages this gutless person has inflicted on them and their lovely Gavin.

Please help me take some of this hurt and stress away. Thankyou for reading this far.

Bill came in under verbal quote  29 April 2025

The vets quoted for holiday high rates and they avoided these days for his surgery, thus making the bill much much lower!!! Thankyou vets. Gavin is doing amazing adapting to 3 legs. Thankyou to everyone who has been so generous already. I can't thank you enough.
