Welfare centres and charities lose up to half of income

National Pet Month is calling on pet lovers to take to social media to raise funds for welfare rescues and charities that have been hit by the coronavirus pandemic.

NPM has joined with the Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH) to put out a sobering message calling for help.

David Bowles, ADCH head of public affairs and trustee, said: “Although most of the country is on lockdown, animals still need rescuing, feeding, walking, taking care of – and all of that is extremely expensive.”

NPM added that charities had lost up to half their income due to postponed fundraising activities, but their vital work continues. Small charities are particularly at risk and ‘need our help now more than ever’..

Michael Bellingham, NPM chairman, said: “In any other year, right now we’d be asking UK pet lovers to stage or attend events celebrating our life with our pets, spreading the word on their care and raising funds for National Pet Month, or a favourite local pet charity or rescue. Supporting UK pet carers and rescuers is at the heart of what we do, and 2020 is no different in that regard.

“We’re asking pet owners to take to social media and use these online platforms to set up mini fundraisers for NPM and other UK pet charities and rescues between now and May 10.”

The initiative – #NPMonline challenge – has developed lots of creative ways to raise funds such as hosting a virtual pet party on Zoom or running a pet themed film marathon.

PFMA and NOAH are trustees for National Pet Month, which is a charity dedicated to supporting UK pet charities and educating the nation on the importance of responsible pet care.
