Donating to the Charity Shops
Donating good quality clothes, household bric-a-brac and books really does help! Our bustling Charity Shops and online eBay store can make use of any good quality items, with all profits going towards animal care at the Home. What is good quality? If you would buy it yourself from a shop, then that is perfect!
You can drop items off to Bath Cats and Dogs Home – there is a donation area near to the car park open from 9am - 5pm every day. You can also give items directly to our Charity Shops – see below for all details on the Shops.
Make your donations worth 25% more!
Bath Cats and Dogs Home can claim Gift Aid tax relief of 25p on every pound we sell from your donations - even those you have given in the past four years!
That means, if we sell your donated t-shirt for £5, we get the £5 from the buyer plus £1.25 from the government - at no cost to you. You just need to be a UK tax payer.
We need you to fill in a short form » Click here to go to the Gift Aid for donations form
And then please put your name and postcode with any donations you give so we can match them up.
Donating to the Rescue Centre
We are full for bedding, towels and beds
We had a spring clear out, clean up and tidy and we're really pleased to say we are fully stocked for all items such as beds, towels, blankets, carriers and crates, so we won't be accepting any donations as we are stuffed full and have nowhere to put it - we'll let you know on social media and our Amazon Wishlist (below) when we do need something!
Donating pet items
We are currently well-stocked for pet items, however you will find some requests on our Amazon Wishlist (below).
Donating pet treats
We accept all treats except for rawhide chews. We use 'squeezy cheese' for muzzle training and always welcome donations of this.
Donating pet food
Food nutrition is very important to an animal's health and behaviour, so we have a set diet for all our animals. We have arranged trade deals to get the most for our money when we buy food in, so the best way to help us feed our animals is to donate money. However, you will find some requests on our Amazon Wishlist (below). Any donations of pet food we are unable to use will be shared with local foodbanks and other rescues to help as many animals in need as possible.
