Paws 4 Life Charitable Trust

Our mission is simple – to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome companion animals who have no one else to speak up for them.

Waikato

The Paws 4 Life Charitable Trust (CC45520) operates the largest animal shelter in the Waikato region and has been an integral part of our community’s support network for almost 15 years!

Our mission is simple – to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome companion animals who have no one else to speak up for them. Our focus is for the thousands of stray, abandoned or simply unwanted animals in the Waikato region.

What We Do

> Advocate for those without a voice

> Offer shelter to companion animals who need it and find them the perfect new home

> Educate the public about their obligations as a pet owner and help facilitate the removal of barriers to responsible pet ownership

> Work towards a reduction in stray cat populations in Hamilton.

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.
