Computer problems.


The only problem I have is with your website. I find it difficult to donate "one-time" donations. I have a recurring donation to The Bottle Brigade which I don't have to do anything more to. I was trying to send$15.00 to Bottle Brigade to help with cost for the tiny black and white puppy. At every turn the computer pushes monthly donations and make occasional donations difficult.

Find ways to lower fees

Find ways to lower fees. It's absurd that it cost 2.99 to donate money!

Hello there,

Thank you for reaching out with your concerns. We truly value your feedback and take it seriously.

CUDDLY's mission is to save more animals by supporting animal welfare organizations. To achieve this, we provide a valuable system of tools, services, and fundraising expertise to our charity partners at no cost to them. However, developing, maintaining, and executing these services involves significant costs for us. We face various budgetary challenges as we strive to support our partners effectively, some of which may not be immediately apparent. These costs have recently increased across the board, further challenging our ability to sustain our operations.

While it's unfortunate to have fees, these updates allow us to maintain our commitment to offering fundraising expertise, tools, services, and marketing efforts to our partners at no charge.

Thousands of animal welfare organizations choose us each year because there's no better way to ensure a successful fundraising campaign. Our free platform, support, and services are invaluable to rescues and shelters, and helps ensure animals in need get the help they deserve.

With your generous support, CUDDLY can continue to have a significant impact on animal welfare, saving thousands of animals annually and alleviating the burden on charity workers worldwide. Please let me know if you have any additional questions and I would be happy to answer them.

Taking care of what is right

Reading these horrible situations - can be so overwhelming. But when victims of horrible cruelty are taken into the care of a humane facility that obviously needs financial support to continue the care - it helps you to feel you are actually helping out in your way to assist them.
