We’re creating a future where the power of the human-animal bond drives positive health and wellbeing for our communities.
Vulnerable and marginalised individuals who have pets, including those experiencing homelessness, mental health crises, domestic family violence, age-related constraints, or disabilities, face significant barriers in accessing essential veterinary care and support services.
In response to the challenges we see so many people facing, Cherished Pets is creating inclusive, socially connected and sustainable communities by delivering veterinary social services to help end cycles of disadvantage linked to veterinary care in Australia.
We need your help. This is your opportunity to create a legacy of change, together.
Welcome to The Cherished Pet Initiative.
Dr Jane Goodall
Delivering our services has been made possible through one-off government grants, however ongoing funding is now required to meet the urgency of supporting all vulnerable people and their cherished pets in our community.
We are turning to the generosity of our Cherished Pets community to help us raise $250,000 to build our capacity to deliver our services.
Explore the groups below and see how you can make an enduring difference. From $20 a month, to a one-off donation of $1000, to major gifts and investment, all support adds up to help our community thrive.
Community Donors
We invite all in our community who share a love of pets and a vision of a fairer society to support us.
Your generous contributions will make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and communities in need.
If you’re interested in leaving a lasting legacy by including Cherished Pets in your Will, we would love to have a cuppa and talk about the enduring impact you can create. See more information here
