Kennel and Cat Pen Sponsorship Programs

To help with the ongoing everyday costs of feeding and providing veterinary care to the animals at the Sanctuary,  Kennel and Cat Pen Sponsorship Programs have been established.

Companies or families who wish to sponsor a kennel or cat/kitten pen can choose a pen which will then have a permanent sign fixed to the front displaying their company/family name (for the duration of their sponsorship).

The sponsorship fee of $500 per year (or $300 per half year) will be put towards the feeding and veterinary costs of the animals in that pen. The signs are A4 size, made of Perspex and will read "This pen is proudly sponsored by...(family / company name)"

Space will be available for a company logo. As the signs have to be printed with the individual names, we ask that sponsorship be taken out for a period of not less than six months.

If you would like to become a Kennel Sponsor, please CLICK HERE to download the form, or CLICK HERE if you would like to sponsor a Cat Pen. Complete the form and send to:

PO Box 3253

Helensvale Town Centre, Qld 4212

For more information please email Marketing and Promotions Officer marketing@awlqld.com.au or call (07) 5509 9033.

This is a great way of promoting your business and showing the public your community spirit in supporting the charity work of the Animal Welfare League.
 

Donations

You can also help the Animal Welfare League with cash donations; donations of saleable items - especially furniture - to our seven volunteer operated Opportunity Shops; pet food donations via specially marked bins placed just inside selected supermarkets; buying your pet products at our Sanctuary Pet Shop; or by adopting your next companion animal from us.

PLEASE REMEMBER You may think the small amount that you can give is not important but if everyone gives a little it can make a BIG difference!
