Urgent Help Needed To Care For 17 Rescue Dogs & Cats.

Hello, my name is Gill and I live in a crumbling Chateau in the French countryside. It’s a peaceful place—but it’s also become a sanctuary for animals with nowhere else to go. Right now, I care for 9 cats, 8 dogs, and 2 geese—most of whom were rescued from heartbreaking situations: abandoned, injured, elderly, or forgotten.

This GoFundMe is for the dogs and cats who call this place home.

Some are on daily medications. Others are recovering from trauma, surgeries, or illness. Many are seniors who need extra vet care, good food, and a warm, safe place to rest. Every single one of them is loved deeply—but caring for this many animals is becoming financially overwhelming.

I’m reaching out to ask for help with:

Urgent and ongoing vet bills

Prescription medications and special treatments

High-quality food for sensitive stomachs and seniors

Vaccinations, flea and tick treatments, and basic care

Even small donations make a big difference—because they turn into full tummies, healthy hearts, and safe shelter.

These animals didn’t ask to be rescued, but they’ve shown me so much trust, love, and resilience. I want to continue giving them the life they deserve, but I can’t do it alone.

If you’re an animal lover, a kind soul, or someone who simply believes every creature deserves love and care—thank you. Your support means everything to me and to these beautiful beings.

With gratitude (and paw prints),

Gill

The Happy Chateau
