Include the vet’s estimate
Donors want to know the money is going to treatment. Include the clinic name and the estimate or invoice total. You can ask for payouts to be arranged so the vet bill is paid.
Tell the story simply
Say what happened, what treatment is needed and the outlook. A clear photo of your animal helps people connect with the appeal.
Rescue groups and shelters
Animal rescue groups often raise money for specific needs, such as desexing, transport or a new enclosure. A clear project with a price helps. If your group is a registered charity, say so on the page.
