I made donations to a foundation for a specific dog and heard nothing. No the funds have been delivered to the foundation, no notice from the foundation themselves. Feels like my donation went into the air, poof it’s gone.

Why you should support Cuddly
Cuddly shares organisations from all over the world and steps in if animals are in need. The rescues themselves don't need to pay anything to be shared, so that they can spend all donations received 100% on the animals in need.

Thank you so much for your support! Your generosity helps us fund lifesaving care to animals who need it most, and we’re truly grateful for your trust and kindness.
Everything simple
You give several choices on who a person would like to donate to, also how to donate; the different charities. You let people know the needs of God's precious animals.
You make everything easy for donors.

Love your stuff (our Louie loves the toys especially) & love the idea that I can help animals. Just wish shipping was a little cheaper but I know you don't control that.

We appreciate your heartfelt support. Every donation allows us to help more animals in need, and knowing you’re part of our mission means the world to us.
Best organization.
Love that there are people out there that love and help defenseless animals like they are family. Find those that harm them deserve more than they receive for their inhuman behavior. Cuddly never turns away.

I have always been a cat lady
I have always been a cat lady, now having 3 cats
My mom cat got out and got pregnant and there was no way I could get get a dog
Plus I am older now. Cats are easier but from what I hear, dogs give you back so much in all they do.

I’d like it better if we didn’t have fees on top of our donation/s, but I am happy to donate to help animals and absolutely appreciate the tax credit.

Hello,
Thank you for your review, we take your feedback very seriously.
CUDDLY is a fundraising and wishlist platform solely dedicated to supporting verified non-profit animal rescues, shelters, and municipal organizations. CUDDLY applies a transaction fee of $2.99 to help cover business costs and fees that are charged by our payment processor.
90% of the monetary donations made are sent directly to the rescue pet in need of care. The remaining 10% goes towards additional marketing, tools, and resources to better support our partners and help them reach their fundraising goals.
Donations on CUDDLY's platform are tax-deductible and we've helped 46k+ rescued animals in need. Any and all donations go towards making a positive difference in the animal's road to recovery and are greatly appreciated. It is important to note that we keep our platform totally free for animal welfare groups. Being for-profit, for-good allows us to offer many additional opportunities to our partners such as being able to fundraise for transport vehicles, paid television advertising, and promotional spots on social media. We also provide an email marketing tool that helps to easily send emails at the most optimal times in order to reach their campaign goals. These are all tools that would otherwise be unavailable or inaccessible for many of our partners. These features and our campaign success rates are why nonprofit shelters choose to partner with us time and time again.
We thank you so much for any and all critiques, as we are always working to improve. Please let me know if you have any further questions or comments!
Their work and focus is for the rescues not publishing.
The amount of my donation has not been subtracted from the "amount needed". I had planned to find half the needed amount, which was substantial for this sad case. I know they do good work. I will continue to donate. I just need to have a better understanding of how their publications are updated. My issue is on me, not them. They help so many very desperate cases and deserve your consideration and help.

I am very familiar with Cuddly
I am very familiar with Cuddly. I have donated to Cuddly many times. Every time I read a new situation, I want to donate but the items that the dog or cat needs is so expensive. I also had trouble in the past with filling out the donation form. It never believed me that the phone number I entered was real. By staying away for a while, it seemed to clear the problem!
