I love the way Cuddly kept me informed me about the baby I donated to. Unfortunately they had to notify me that this precious baby didn't make it through his surgery inspite of everything the doctors did for him.

Why are the items triple the regular price ???? 100 dollars for 12 cans of dog food which makes each can of dog food almost 8 dollars when they are 3 each at the Walmart. Then you say I only donated towards food not health care. Seems like a scam and I won't use this. Better off going to the actual shelter. I think your website robs them because if people would look at it imagine the items they could actually buy at the store rather then your 100% upcost on dog food. You should be ASHAMED you are robbing these dogs of care for your POCKET

I do not like that they have added charges at the end. I am a big animal lover and would like to give my money to organizations that truly use the dollars for the animals. I will not be contributing to cuddly again.

Hi Kathy, Thanks so much for the review, we take your feedback very seriously. Concerning the tipping feature, we implemented this option to help keep our platform completely free for shelters and rescues to use. That being said, the tip feature is also 100% optional. If a tip was inadvertently added to your donation, our friendly customer service team can get that refunded for you. You can reach out to us at [email protected]. Thank you for joining us in the mission to save more animals!

I was so happy to support cuddly and the beautiful furbabies that the save. I’ve donated funds as well as purchased items off of wish lists. I will continue to do this whenever I am able. Such a wonderful and deserving charity that goes above and beyond for these precious souls. The transactions are easy and do worth it. I encourage others to do the same if/when they are able. They take on so many furbabies and lord knows that’s expensive. They can use all the support that they can get. Every dollar helps. If everyone that sees a Cuddly post could donate just one dollar it would go along way in helping many more angels.

Cuddly is so thorough, professional and goes right to the most urgent cases. Their platform raises awareness so effectively to end the dog trauma epidemic. And they are so informative of every step, letting you be so involved as one who is helping save the animal like it’s your own. They are so detailed they make it easier to trust their efforts than even famous organizations before them who are vague and use repeated stories for raising funds. Not cuddly. Every day is real time and real involvement for all of us! They are not just creating a mass community of involvement saving these animals, but they are creating compassion worldwide every time we give. Best platform ever.

Being able to pick what you can send to the animals is very helpful and I believe that they are actually getting delivered where they are supposed to. This is a great service. Thank you.
