Rachel Rescues needs a new ride

My Blue Toyota Willy (🤣) has done me proud, especially petrol and milage wise, but since combining the 2 cat rescues both Wairarapa and Wellington wide I've been struggling with severe lack of space and storage as it's a small saloon style car, there is no air conditioning which greatly hinders transport of any cats during early Spring to late Autumn and as of last month the engine light turns on and I'm unsure why, but I cannot put anymore money into the Toyota as several mechanics have told me the bottom is completely rusted out and won't pass another WOF, and is too expensive and pointless to fix.

I've never used charity money to fix my car and with finances quickly running low with 57 cats (and counting) there's many hungry mouths to feed, taking money from the cats for a car will greatly hinder our work for this season. I've only ever reimbursed petrol for travel for Rescues and rescue callouts, and I've come to find I use my own car for personal use less than 5% of the time.

This fundraiser is to cover a bigger and better car for me to use for Rachel's KittyCat Rescue which covers the Wairarapa to the Hutt Valley.

With the Spring heat climbing, Mum Cats becoming increasingly pregnant and kittens being born daily I'm becoming extremely anxious that I won't have a car to soon use which will greatly harm my rescue work from rescuing kitties, to trapping, picking up passed away animals, finding and reuniting pets, vet visits, and more

Thanks all 🙏
