Turning Wish List dreams into reality—thanks to our Major Donors

At Animal Welfare League Qld, the support we receive is used where it’s needed most, saving lives, providing medical care, and giving shelter pets their best chance at a happy, healthy future. But beyond the daily essentials lies our Wish List, a collection of items and upgrades that, while not always a top priority in the budget, would make a world of difference.

That’s where our incredible Major Donors come in.

Thanks to such donors, we were recently able to fulfil the wish for new air-conditioning units for our Gold Coast Community Vet Clinic. Our old system struggled for years, especially through the sweltering Queensland summers, making it difficult to maintain stable temperatures in recovery and treatment areas. For post-surgical patients, especially our most vulnerable animals, a controlled environment is essential for healing.

A heartfelt thank you to the generous donors who made this possible. Your gift has transformed our clinic, and with it, countless lives.

While our daily operations rely on the amazing support of our community, being able to funnel funds into large purchases or critical infrastructure upgrades often comes last on the financial priority list. That’s why the support of Major Donors is so vital. Their generosity allows us to dream bigger, do better, and provide the highest level of care to the animals who need us.

Wish list items range from specialised medical equipment and upgraded shelter infrastructure to heaters for kitten foster carers and new enclosures for senior cats. They’re not luxuries, they’re critical tools for improving comfort, safety, and care.

That’s why we’re so deeply grateful for the support of major donors.  If you or someone you know would like to help us tick another item off our Wish List, we’d love to hear from you. Together, we can continue creating a brighter future, one wish at a time.
