The $8 Squishy Challenge!

Casey Oliver is organizing this fundraiser.

In 2011, Paw Prints Private Rescue began as a small all breeds cat and dog rescue group in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Squishies Flat Faced Cat Rescue was founded in 2012, to give flat faced cats all the special care they need and to find them homes that understand the commitment they require. After 4 years of running Paw Prints and Squishies Cat Rescue side by side, we have now merged the two groups creating Squishies Flat Faced Animal Rescue Incorporated.

As a result of the hundreds and hundreds of animals we have taken in over the past 7 years, we have an outstanding vet bill at Maroondah Vet Clinic of over $28,000. As hard as we try to reduce this enormous bill, with animals still coming into care, we just cannot find the money to continue to save lives and pay off the debts of the hundreds of animals that are now living happily ever after in their forever homes.

In addition to this, Squishies Headquarters, which is the nerve centre of the rescue and also houses our perma-squishies and the bulk of animals in care at any time; is relocating. This is a huge financial drain on our founder, who is personally covering all relocation costs for the rescue, reducing the amount of money she has to put into the costs of running the rescue, feeding the animals and paying the vet bills.

We are asking that you please consider making a donation towards our outstanding vet bill, to allow us to continue to rescue, without having to think about how much an animal will add to our massive vet bill, before deciding if we can take them on.

If each of our Squishies Facebook followers donated just $8, our bill would be gone! Can you imagine that?! A fresh start for the vet bill would allow us to expand the rescue and help even more Squishies in need. Have you had $8 worth of enjoyment from seeing our posts and following the journeys of our Squishies?!

Literally all it will take is just $8 each. This would also mean that we could spend more time posting photos, updates and videos, because we wouldn’t have to spend the little spare time we can find, fundraising for the outstanding bill!
More rescued Squishies, more photos and updates of rescued Squishies and a clean slate on the vet bill, so we don’t have to think about costs when asked to help a Squishy in need. All that for $8 each! Can you spare $8 for the Squishies?!
