Hello There,
Thank you so much for your review, as we take your feedback very seriously.
CUDDLY is a fundraising and wishlist platform solely dedicated to supporting verified non-profit animal rescues, shelters, and municipal organizations.
- We currently support over 4,000+ animal welfare organizations around the world.
- 90% of the monetary donations made are sent directly to the rescue pet in need of their care. The remaining 10% goes towards additional marketing, tools, and resources to better support our partners.
- 100% of the wishlist items donated go to the pet in need.
- Donations on CUDDLY’s platform are tax-deductible.
- Out of all online fundraising platforms, CUDDLY sends more money per dollar to animals than GoFundMe and the ASPCA.
- We have helped 46k+ rescued animals in need.
Regarding the wishlist items in our catalog, our objective is to support animal welfare organizations by helping to provide what they need to help the animals under their care. CUDDLY works hard to maintain competitive pricing and we do everything we can to keep costs low such as working with pet brands and bringing supplies directly into our warehouse. Any and all donations go towards making a positive difference in the animal’s road to recovery and are greatly appreciated. It is important to note that we strive to keep our platform free for animal welfare groups, as such, a reason for why our products may seem higher priced is because we include the cost of shipping and handling fees. In addition, all wishlist items & donations are tax deductible for donors which is explained in further detail on our FAQ page.
Being for-profit, for-good allows us to offer many additional opportunities to our partners such as being able to fundraise for transport vehicles, paid television advertising, and promotional spots on social media. We also provide an email marketing tool that helps to easily send emails at the most optimal times in order to reach their campaign goals. These are all tools that would otherwise be unavailable or inaccessible for many of our partners. These features are why nonprofit shelters choose to partner with us and continue to use our platform to further the success rate of their pets!
We hope this response helps provide you with transparency on CUDDLY. We thank you so much for any and all critiques, as we are always working to improve our business.
Please let me know if you have any further questions and I will be happy to answer.
