The value of legacies
Legacies play a crucial role in supporting vulnerable animals on the Isle of Wight. In recent years, legacies have supported:
- The provision of veterinary care and ongoing treatments to vulnerable dogs, cats and small animals.
- Providing food, toys and rehabilitation for the animals in our care.
- Building a new cattery building provided modern, cosy facilities for the many cats seeking their forever home.
- The construction of a new wildlife area, providing facilities to look after large waterfowl.
- The purchase of our shops in Ventnor and Ryde, giving us rent-free buildings with which to generate future income

In memoriam
Losing a loved one is hard, whether it’s a relative that had a love of animals or a beloved four-legged companion with whom you have shared many memories.
Collecting donations in memory of them is a great way to share love and keep their memory alive.
