I'm speaking up today on behalf of the animals at Motley Zoo Animal Rescue, whose lives hang in the balance.

For the past 15 years, Motley Zoo has been a lifeline to the most vulnerable—saving over 5,000 "underdogs" (and cats!)—more than 30% of them with special needs or medical challenges.

But now, for the first time in their history, they are facing a heartbreaking reality: the rising costs of veterinary care have left a significant gap in their budget. 

Motley Zoo needs to raise $100,000 in October to make ends meet- and they are asking each of their crew to raise $100.

Many of their animals are puppies and kittens—innocent lives that still need critical spay and neuter surgeries to be ready for adoption. But at more than $750 per animal, they are coming up short this year as donations have dropped more than 50%.

I can hear the animals cries as Motley Zoo faces a future where caring for their "usual" number of animals is no longer affordable- never mind taking on more!

Today, I'm raising my voice for those animals who can't speak for themselves. 

I’m asking for your support, aiming to raise a mere $100—because together, we can shout out their needs and make a massive difference for the animals who have no one else.

Motley Zoo stepped in to take on the hardest part- and now we must come together to amplify the message that OUR VOICES MAKE THE MOST DIFFERENCE...the animals futures are in OUR HANDS.

Please join me and be the voice the animals need- the hope they deserve. What will you give to make yours heard?
