Meet Pape, a hardworking donkey in Nouakchott, Mauritania. After a scary traffic accident left him injured, our member charity SPANA's amazing vets came to the rescue!

Pape's owner Sidi learned valuable lessons about animal care: "SPANA's vets have been an invaluable source of knowledge. Their dedication has inspired us to be more vigilant and compassionate."

Your support makes stories like Pape's possible. Together, we're changing lives – both animal and the people who love and care for them.

🙏 Thank you for helping working animals get the care they deserve!

Did you know….donkeys have excellent memory? They are capable of remembering a place they have been to or other donkeys they met 25 years ago!

Every day, countless animals suffer from cruelty, neglect, and abuse. Together, we can change that. 💜

Together for Animals raises urgently needed funds for four leading animal welfare charities, each dedicated to saving and improving the lives of cats, dogs, horses, donkeys, and more.

Animals contribute immensely to our mental and physical wellbeing - by working together, we ensure they can enjoy happier, healthier lives too. Your donation helps save thousands of pets and working animals from disease, neglect, and abuse, giving them a chance at a better future.

Casper was just one of 6,052 animals our member charities helped find loving homes for last year.
He came to our member Mayhew from a loving home, but due to his owner’s ill health, they were no longer able to look after him. Casper is now a much-loved addition to their family and Paul and Lisa love his big character.
Thanks to your support animals like Casper are living their best lives, in loving forever homes. Thank you.

Did you know…. A newborn foals legs are already 80 to 90% of the length they will be when full grown, a foal is able to stand just one hour after birth and they can walk, trot, and run just two hours after birth!

Today is International Cat Day 🐱 and we wanted to take the opportunity to share Stitch's story with you.

Stitch arrived at Together for Animals member Mayhew at the end of May after she was abandoned outside their front door. Inside her carrier was a heart-breaking note explaining that the owner couldn't no longer afford to care for Stitch.

This is not only devastating for Stitch, but her owner too, who clearly felt they had no other choice but to give her up.

Despite being at full capacity, the team brought Stitch to safety and started providing her with the immediate care she required, including medical support from the veterinary team. Despite the note left with her saying she had been vomiting she experienced nothing further, and after being assessed by the veterinary team seemed bright and healthy in herself.

Stitch is a sweet, gentle girl who enjoys her fuss and coming over for a cuddle. She was a little shy at first but she grew in confidence with the team and showed them her playful side too the more she settled and happier she became.

Sadly, we are seeing more cases like this as pet owners struggle to care for their animals amidst the cost-of-living crisis.

Just this year alone, seven cats have been abandoned on Mayhew’s doorstep with nowhere else to go. This year they have already taken in over 270 dogs and cats.Fortunately, these animals are now all safe alongside Stitch. But we can only continue helping dogs and cats in need with the support of animal lovers like you.
While pet owners are struggling to care for their pets with the cost-of-living crisis, animal charities have also been impacted, including all of our member charities. Every day, it’s becoming more expensive to run their services, which so many animals and their owners depend on.

As an animal charity supporting our members work across the UK and overseas, we want to continue helping them all be there for those who need them most. We need to be there so that amid the increasing need and costs they face, they can help animals like Stitch.

If you can, a donation – large or small – can support their vital work during these difficult times: https://togetherforanimals.org.uk/donate/

Left unable to walk after a road traffic collision, Harley was in agonising pain. The pet cat was severely hurt – the trauma had caused injuries to her spine and pelvis and a dislocated hip. Thankfully our member, Blue Cross, was there to help.

Harley underwent two operations and received seven weeks of care from their expert team, including all the follow-up appointments, X-rays and physiotherapy she needed.

Playing with her toys, racing through her tunnel and exploring the garden at home, Harley is now able to enjoy being back with her family after the traumatic accident.

Thank you for helping pets like Harley receive the veterinary treatment and care they need.

Every day, Bruno the donkey struggles up hills of hazardous waste, stepping over broken glass and sharp, rusted metal in the sweltering 40°C heat. Life is hard for humans and animals alike in Bamako, Mali, where hundreds of working donkeys help their owners earn a living collecting scrap. This is Bruno's story:

Many animals like Murphy, arrive at Together for Animals’ member charities at their lowest point. When he was found Murphy was timid and withdrawn, suffering from ear infections, decaying teeth and with heavy matting weighing over 2kgs on his ears and chest. Can you help animals like Murphy in their hour of need? Please, if you can, donate now and help ease the suffering of animals in need: https://buff.ly/2WHVzjI

Did you know… horses have better senses of smell and hearing than humans, and their ears can turn in different directions to aid their hearing!

Did you know... donkeys' long ears not only give them great hearing ability, they also help to keep them cool in hot conditions!

Did you know, the average litter size for cats is about 1-9 kittens. This can sadly lead to lots of kittens needing to be found homes. Can you give £3 this National Kitten Day that could help a homeless animal be cared for while they wait to find their family?

This year we celebrate turning 30 years old! With your help, we can continue to work to end the suffering of cats, dogs, donkeys and horses. There are so many things you can do depending on how much time you have to give. We are so grateful for your support, no matter how big or small.
