Dear Supporter,
Last month, we responded to an urgent request for support from Animals Fiji. Animals Fiji is an organization based on the West coast of Viti Levu that runs the main animal rescue centre for the region. Recently Animals Fiji was told they had a month to leave the land on which the rescue centre is based and are now urgently raising funds for the relocation and establishment of a new shelter and location. Funds raised through the GVI CT project have been put towards this important cause. The Charitable Trust has donated $4000 Fijian dollars thanks to your generous donations towards the relocation operation in the effort to ensure that this valuable service (the only one of its kind in Western Fiji) can continue to help Fiji’s sick, disabled, and mistreated animals.
‘I again, want to thank GVI for the fantastic generous donation!
Currently in our care we have 30 animals. 20 cats are actually on site of our temporary clinic as it is being built and 10 dogs and puppies that are out being fostered by voluntary families to assist us during this chaotic time.Although, the battle is only half over we still have to finish the construction of our temporary site, which we are creating out of shipping containers allowing us to easily relocate them once we have raised enough funds and found land to have our fur-ever home. The funds raised so far are just over FJ $115,000, we hope to reach our goal soon.'
