Broken Boiler Disaster (Boiler Bummer)

Due to the recent Coronavirus outbreak a lot of new measures have been put into place to help reduce its spread. One very common practice is to wash your hands for 20 seconds and while this is essential advice it has led to a disaster for us here at Gables Dogs and Cats Home.

Our commercial boiler has broken down beyond repair under the strain; leaving our staff and animals with no heating or hot water, Brrrrr!

We currently have more than 150 unwanted and abandoned dogs and cats in our care, including some very young and very old. We are utilising heat pads and plug in radiators where we can but this is only a short term solution.

The cost of replacing our commercial boiler is £4,700.

We have already started to suffer financially as we have had to cancel essential fundraising events and now our customers, understandably, are cancelling their dog and cat boarding bookings. These are a vital sources of income for us and now we are looking to our amazing supporters for any financial help you might be able to give.     

Thank you all in advance for your support in keeping us and all our animals safe and warm.
