Your Christmas gift can change their story
🎄🐾 Christmas in Townsville: Give Hope to Local Cats & Dogs 🐾🎄
While Townsville lights up with carols, markets, and family gatherings, our shelter is filled with very different sounds — the soft whimper of a dog who’s never had a family, the tiny mew of a kitten found under a shed, the sigh of an old cat who just wants a warm lap.
This year alone, we’ve taken in dozens of animals from across Townsville and North Queensland — from strays wandering the Strand to pets surrendered when families could no longer cope. Every one of them deserves the chance to feel safe, loved, and part of a home.
We’re not asking for miracles — just kindness. With your support, we can make sure that this Christmas, Townsville’s forgotten cats and dogs know they matter.
