We need your support

Every donation, no matter how small or large, will help to save the life of a neglected, abused or abandoned companion animal. Please donate generously. From intake to placement our average cost for each dog or cat for a 90 day period is $400, which may include veterinarian care, spay/neuter, shots, worming, shelter and food.

Other Larger Wish List Items Need

• URGeNT! Sick Bay Accommodation

• Our new HappyPaws Haven shelter does not yet have a sickbay for our sick animals. We need to build a separate area/shed that is insulated and next to the managers house for our sick animals. This will allow them to be isolated from the others, allow the manager to attend to them during the night with out disturbing the other animals and give them the space to recover.  A 4x5 m shed set on a sealled cement slab, lined with aircell blanket and sealed fiber board walls, windows on north and east side for ventilation and shelter from the weather. It will be fitted out with 6 large cages which can hold cats or dogs, a medication cupboard, hand basin, water and power.

• Electricity and water for the cattery

• Currently the cat shed has temporary wiring for lighting only, we desparately new to have it wired for power and lights. We also need to wire it for the water pump to be able to pump water from our new tank to the cattery.

• Fire fighting kit and hose for each water tank

• HappyPaws has 3 large 22000 litre (5000 gallons) at the shelter to supply our daily needs. Each of these tanks needs a fire-fighting kit and hose should there be a fire so that we can save the animals being burnt to death, we are on a rural property on the out skirts of grafton.

• Scatchy Posts and Cat Furnature
  
  Have just moved into new shelter, Happypaws Haven cats and kittens need new cat posts, cat trees, cat shelves, cat gyms etc for the cat enclosures. We have 3 areas: Kittens to 6mths, Juveniles 6-18mths and cats 18ths plus. Preferably made from wood as the cardboard posts do not last long when there is a large number of cats. Can be sealed, painted, carpeted, lino, sisal rope what ever takes your fancy but must be robust as we have approximately 50 in each enclosure with a lot less in the kitten room.

• Sola electricity for the haven

  Although we are on the grid, electricity is extremely expensive. We need to upgrade our current wiring as there is no power connected in some parts of the shelter. We would also like to sell back to the grid any excess to help the environment and to keep our running costs down.
