Charity information

Happy Tails Sanctuary Koh Samui

Francoise arrived in Thailand 12 years ago with only her luggage and her 4 Belgian cats. She had no idea at that time that her life would totally change! She has always shared her home with Dogs & Cats, she’s been an animal lover since she was a young child when she would bring home stray cats she would find on the streets. She was lucky that her mother was also an animal lover. Upon coming to Thailand she was devastated to discover the state of so many forgotten animals living alone on the streets. She could not ignore the plight of these lost souls. She started to help street dogs & cats with food, water, treatments for fleas & ticks, dewormng, medication for wounds and infections and of course sterilization. Unfortunately what these animals most needed was safe and loving place they could call home, so she took one home, then another, and another, next thing she knew she was running a sanctuary! She now has 100 animals in her full time care, most live in the main house with her, some reside in the volunteer house and others are still living on the streets but cared for by Francoise. Francoise receives no government or corporate funding, she fully funds her work alone and relies on donations from animal lovers across the globe. Veterinary bills have been building up lately and the covid situation is hard on donations and sponsorships. Because of travel restrictions volunteers are not available anymore so she needs to pay staff which she has no budget for. So all Francoise wants for her 60 th birthday is financial support so she can continue her work towards animals in need and provide a warm and loveable home them. Thank you for helping her

The Story

7 months ago

My name is Francoise and I run a sanctuary with 100 dogs and cats in Thailand.

I arrived here 18 years ago with my 4 Belgian cats and I soon discovered that so many dogs and cats living on the street were in desperate need of help with their health, food and most importantly a loving home.

Very quickly the well-being of animals left to their fate became my only purpose in life.

I truly dedicate 100% of my time in this cause which has allowed many rescues and changed the sad life of abandoned, mistreated, sick creatures

BUT as I am working on the field every single day I don’t have the time to find funds which creates a enormous stress I have to live with.

Therefore this is a cry for help as our financial situation is dramatic at the moment.

The Sanctuary rely’s 100% on donations and sponsorships and we have been quite unfortunate lately to have lost sponsors and one time donations.

With about 5000 baht on the account I don’t know how to pay for food from next week on and we have many open bills.

-yearly car insurance 8143,77TH

-six month pest control (very needed as we live in the jungle)

6000TH

-our last veterinary bill 17,510TH (treatment of the sick ones and medications)

Aside of those costs I would like to raise money to cover the Sanctuary costs for the 6 next months as the sponsorships only pay for half of the monthly expenses at the moment.

I also take care (deworming, tick and flea traitement or other care if needed) and feed street dogs in the neighbourhood.

Several of the animals at the Sanctuary are disabled and therefore need special care.

Plse help me provide for them.

I am very desperate at this time.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read and for your help.

The animals and myself are forever grateful
