We have found ourselves in a sticky situation after one of our main boilers has broken beyond repair. The boiler supplies all of the hot water for the staffs hand washing facilities and for cleaning the animals food and water bowls and laundry machines. Hot water is essential to maintain good hygiene levels.
We currently have more than 100 unwanted and abandoned dogs and cats in our care, including some very young and very old. The cost of replacing the commercial boiler is £4,000. Gables is already suffering financially due to the cost of living crisis and our electricity bills have risen from £25,000 to £90,000 per year. We are now looking to our amazing supporters for any financial help they may be able to give.
Gables is a true non-euthanasia charity and believe in giving all our animals the best chance at having a normal life. If we are lucky enough to raise more money than is needed, the excess will go towards helping the animals in our care.
