SAD NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS
This update begins with the sad news of Harry's passing. Harry was the cat who was being cared for by the lovely residents of a little street in Redditch, who had moved out of his own home and had been spending time on the street. He became quite poorly and PAWING was called upon to assist him. Read all about his short time under our care by clicking on the 'Our Rescued Animals' link.
Due to the vet costs for Harry, the rescued animals at PAWING HQ and donations we have made to other causes, our funds are alarmingly low - and we need your help! Please consider making a donation to us so we can continue to help animals in desperate need. To give you an idea of our running costs, since April,

Due to the vet costs for Harry, the rescued animals at PAWING HQ and donations we have made to other causes, our funds are alarmingly low -
PAWING has paid out nearly £1,000 to directly help animals who had nobody else to turn to. This would simply not have been possible with YOU! It is only due to the wonderful support of the public that we have been able to make a difference - but we need to help more animals, so please help us help them by donating today! Thank you.
Founder Susan Edmonds with rescued Labrador, George.
As well as caring for our own rescued animals, we want to be able to help as many other animals as possible. For instance, we want to be able to donate to sanctuaries to ease their financial burdens and to individuals who run small rescues and have large vet bills. We also want to help fund the work of individuals and groups who work hard to get feral cats neutered. None of this is possible without your support. Please help us help the animals and donate to our emergency fund today. Thank you.
PAWING provides shelter, care and veterinary treatment for a small amount of unwanted/mistreated animals, and we also support any small charity that exists to directly and legally help animals and will work to raise funds not only for our own rescued creatures, but also for sanctuaries, groups and individuals by promoting appeals on our website. PAWING will help campaigns to help any animal in need by adding links to ongoing requests for help. PAWING supports vegan ethics and strives to promote the benefits of a vegan lifestyle.
Other animals we have helped include a cat who urgently needed veterinary treatment for a dental problem, a hen rescue that needed funds to provide care for rescued battery hens that had survived a dreadful trailer accident, an injured pigeon we rescued from the middle of Birmingham City Centre, which sadly had to be put down and a lovely dog called Mariba who was in dire need of a trip to the beautician! Her ears had grown so long and matted that she was struggling to lift her head properly until PAWING stepped in with the funds required for a grooming session - just look at the before and after pictures!
In October, we will be at the West Midlands Vegan Fair in Wolverhampton, which has become so popular, it will take place in a bigger venue! By then, we are hoping to unveil some shiny new PAWING merchandise to help us get our message across! At only £1.00 admission, it is an unmissable event - have a look at the website for more exciting details - click below!
If you would like to meet us and find out more about our work, please come along to the Cruelty Free Summer Fair at All Saints Church Hall in Kings Heath! We will have our own little fundraising stall with books, good quality bric-a-brac and loads of information about PAWING and the animals we have helped. We will also be handing out information about Greyhound Action, the group that campaigns on behalf of the thousands of greyhounds that suffer and die as a direct result of greyhound racing - so come along and have a browse!
