Take a look at the ongoing campaigns that still need funds—you could kick-start a specific fundraising appeal or help one towards its target figure—maybe you’ll be the one who smashes through the goal!
These are ongoing fundraising appeals in need of a little help reaching their goals. Which one would you like to help along its way for the animals?
These are things that we use regularly and often, so feel free to send as much or as often as you like after first emailing us to be sure we can make proper use of your kind gift for the animals.
We add omega-3 to our dogs' and cats' daily meals. You can choose from fish oil, salmon oil, mackerel oil, krill, etc., but not cod-liver or plant oils, please. Easily available in Taiwan.
Our residents all benefit from seaweed powder added to their meals, but variety is great, and we can also accept green powders such as spirulina, kelp, blue-green algae, Irish moss, and dulce.
Some of our rescues require specific supplements to help with their specific condition. The kind of supplements we use often are curcumin, probiotics, and L-carnitine, but we can use many more.
Our dogs and cats get chicken wings, legs, and necks; eggs (including duck eggs); beef; lamb; any organ; garlic; raw apple-cider vinegar. No processed foods, please.
New rescues especially can go through a lot of iodine, bandages, pee pads, and watermelon powder—incredibly effective at healing even large wounds. easily available at pharmacies in Taiwan.
Our residents at The Cats' Cradle much prefer wooden pellets for receiving their bowel movements. Easy to clean up and dispose of, and nice-smelling too.
We go though a lot of garbage bags, bleach, hydrogen peroxide, and baking soda. We can also use specialist shelter cleaning products, but check with us first.
These are items that we are in urgent need of but not the kind of thing we need regularly. Mostly, they are equipment for catching or handling difficult animals safely and humanely—and mean we can get them to the vet more quickly.
Our dog-sanctuary and rescue teams are growing, and we are in urgent need of bite sticks, a humane tool to stop a dog biting that our staff need to carry at all times.
Our humane cat traps are always in use, and our rescue team could really do with a couple of spare traps for their busiest cat-rescue times. Can buy similar in Taipei; email for info.
We currently have two humane dog traps, but some situations need at least three traps set up in slightly different locations to ensure a quicker rescue. We can buy these is Taipei; email for info on how to get one for us.
One of our stretchers is damaged and we need a replacement while we send it away to be repaired—plus, it's always good to have a back-up.
Even the most aggressive or difficult dogs can be safely and calmly examined and treated when these valuable tools are used correctly. Needed for both dog sanctuaries and rescue vehicles.
These are used to control a very difficult dog without them or us getting hurt. Great for getting a dog out of a tight spot. We currently have two but need two more.
When we have to put our hands near the face of a dog who doesn't want to be touched, wearing these gloves means neither the dog's teeth or the handler's skin gets broken.
Cats can give very nasty bites and scratches when they don't want to be handled, and these gloves mean our staff can handle them safely and confidently—and more quickly.
We'll have humane traps set in all kinds of locations to quickly and safely catch injured animals. This alarm tells us when a door has closed without us having to keep disturbing the trap.
Slip leashes are a safe and humane way of handling even the most difficult dogs. For everyone's safety, it's important the dog cannot bite through the lead.
We've been using Magnum dog nets for two decades now simply because they are the biggest and best—a safe and effective way to catch an unfriendly dog who is within reach.
Cats who don't want to be handled can make rescue, transportation, and treatment very stressful for all parties. But the EZ nabber makes the whole process easy.

ACT rescues hundreds of stray dogs and cats and wild animals from horrific cruelty at the hands of people who know better—around a quarter of our sanctuary dogs have lost at least one limb to cruel trapping devices that are illegal, yet we must keep pushing authorities to stop them. Our teams work tirelessly to catch and identify the perpetrators so that they can finally be put out of business.
We will never give up acting on behalf of the animals who need us—because kindness and compassion are what make the world a better place for us all. It’s a tough battle, but one we can win when good people stand behind us. Wherever you are, you can pledge to take action to improve the lives of suffering animals.
