Help build a sanctuary for abused bears in Vietnam
Supporting an animal welfare charity can go a long way when it comes to creating a kinder world for animals. Animals Asia was founded in 1998 to end bear bile farming – bile, extracted using cruel and painful procedures, is normally used in traditional Asian medicine. Twenty-five years and hundreds of bear rescues later, the charity is close to ending this abuse in Vietnam. You can contribute to making a historic change happen, by helping the foundation to build a new bear sanctuary. The last three hundred bears are currently caged on bear bile farms, painfully abused for their bile, getting physically and mentally traumatised. The sooner the sanctuary is built, the sooner these last remaining bears can be rescued. Find out how to donate to get the sanctuary built at Animals Asia and help end bear bile farming in Vietnam once and for all.

Keep your cat clean with odour-resistant litter
Are you after the perfect litter that reduces smells and is kind to your cat? Natural cat litter Natusan does not contain any harmful ingredients and is made from 100 per cent PEFC-certified (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) recycled wood materials or wheat by-product (plant fibres). Using a clumping litter such as Natusan can also help reduce lingering odours, as the litter clumps as soon as it comes into contact with any liquid, and odour is trapped inside the clumps. It’s soft on paws, too, and has no added fragrance so even fussy cats love it.
Due to its tight-clumping nature and easy-to-scoop removal, Natusan helps cut down on waste, reducing tray changes to just once a month. Get 60 per cent off your first bag of litter with discount code “NAT60” until 27 April 2023. T&Cs apply.

Support a charity helping dogs and cats lead their wholesome lives
If you want to support pets in need, why not donate to Mayhew? Since 1886, the charity has been helping dogs and cats get the care and love they deserve. Mayhew believes in the impact of good animal welfare on communities, and the difference dogs and cats make to their owners’ wellbeing. This is why it offers free veterinary care and works to prevent animal welfare issues from arising. Mayhew rescues and rehomes hundreds of dogs and cats – the cost of living is forcing many loving pet owners to hand over their pets for rehoming.
The charity also works to keep pets and owners together through its Pet Refuge service, which offers care and shelter for the pets of people needing short-term support. Additionally, Mayhew offers TheraPaws, an animal assisted intervention service rooted in its passion for the pet and human bond.
