Credit Crunch April 22, 2010
Posted by Jonathan Mitchell in : Appeals , trackbackAs you are no doubt aware, the current financial climate has left everyone tightening their belts, leaving Sanctuaries such as Mid-Antrim in an even more precarious position. Family pets, along with their veterinary treatment and upkeep, are no longer a priority in most households; the impact of which has hit charity organisations in the worst possible way. The influx of unwanted ‘presents’ and general apathy towards long-time family pets has put us in a uncertain state financially.
We are finding, at this present time, that a lot of people can no longer afford to feed and keep their pets – never mind pay a veterinary bill which was likely to exceed their upkeep alone.
In the situation whereby an owner cannot afford treatment for their pet there are organisations to help. With Pounds and Sanctuaries reaching their limits with regards to space as well as finance, we ask that if you have a talent or trade to offer, no matter how insignificant you feel it is, we could certainly use your input. Giving up your time can be of the utmost importance during a period when disposable income and donations are on the wane.
There’s nothing more fulfilling than the act of giving.
