Donate to Help Dogs and Cats Abroad

A clear donation-intent page for UK supporters who want to help dogs and cats abroad through humane, partner-led welfare programmes.

Dog and cat welfare support through international partner-led rescue work

UK supporters can donate to help dogs and cats abroad by funding partner-led veterinary care, neutering, vaccination, emergency rescue, shelter capacity and humane alternatives to culling or meat-trade suffering.

Guide 1

Who This Donation Helps

This route is for donors who care about companion animals but want their gift to reach countries where street dogs, community cats and animals caught in the dog and cat meat trade face severe welfare gaps.

Guide 2

What Your Gift Funds

Support can fund CNVR for street dogs, rabies vaccination, spay/neuter for cats, emergency treatment, quarantine after rescue, shelter recovery space and education that reduces cruelty and fear.

Guide 3

Why WARN Is Honest About Its Model

WARN is a registered UK Community Interest Company (Company no. 17298990) and is not a charity, so it cannot claim Gift Aid. The donation case is transparency: low fixed costs, clear programme targets and partner-led delivery in the countries where help is needed.

Guide 4

One Donation, Multiple Pathways

UK donors can give generally at donate so WARN allocates to greatest need, or direct gifts to Karachi street dogs appeal for street dogs, dog and cat meat trade appeal for meat-trade rescue or adopt a dog and adopt a cat for symbolic monthly adoption from £5.

Guide 5

Why Partner Grants Beat Overseas Rehoming

Shipping individual pets to the UK is expensive, stressful and cannot solve population-scale problems. Funding local CNVR, TNVR, quarantine and shelter capacity protects thousands — the model WARN uses across the 17-country network.

Guide 6

What Your Gift Buys on the Ground

Roughly £15–25 funds one street dog through catch, neuter, rabies vaccination and return in network countries. £100 supports a small clinic day. £500 helps stock quarantine after a trafficking seizure. Monthly gifts let partners plan multi-year CNVR instead of crisis-only response.

Wildlife guide

Street Dog

An estimated 200 million street dogs live worldwide; they are the same species as pet dogs (Canis lupus familiaris), and WHO-endorsed Catch-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return programmes are the proven humane way to reduce their numbers and control rabies, whereas culling does not work.

Country programme

Indonesia

Indonesia is a Southeast Asian archipelago of more than 17,000 islands, home to Bornean and Sumatran orangutans, Sumatran tigers, Javan and Sumatran rhinos, the Komodo dragon and the sun bear; its wildlife is under sustained pressure from palm-oil and pulpwood deforestation, the illegal pet trade, and one of the world's largest contributions to marine plastic.

Country programme

Vietnam

Vietnam is a Southeast Asian country where WARN's planned work focuses on three connected welfare problems: ending the moon-bear bile-farming industry in partnership with the national phase-out, the cat meat trade that handles several million cats per year, and pangolin and big-cat-part trafficking demand reduction.

Country programme

Cambodia

Cambodia is a Southeast Asian country where WARN's planned work centres on the snare crisis in the Lower Mekong forests — funding de-snaring patrols, providing veterinary triage for snared wildlife, and supporting the rescue of pangolins, sun bears and Asian elephants caught up in cross-border trafficking.

Country programme

Pakistan

Pakistan is a South Asian country where WARN's planned work focuses on humane street-dog management in Karachi and Lahore through catch-neuter-vaccinate-release clinics, mobile working-equine clinics in industrial districts, and supporting partner work on the snow leopard in the country's high north.

Country programme

India

India is a South Asian country that holds roughly 70% of the world's wild tigers, the largest population of Asian elephants, and the great majority of greater one-horned rhinos, alongside leopards, sloth bears and pangolins; its wildlife faces intense human-wildlife conflict, habitat fragmentation and trafficking of skins, bone and scales.

Country programme

Philippines

The Philippines is a Southeast Asian archipelago where WARN's planned work focuses on humane street-dog management through CNVR in major cities, sea-turtle nest protection and coastal triage, and partner-led response to wildlife trafficking through Manila and regional ports.
