DOUBLE YOUR DONATION!

Eros says, "Happy World Animal Day!" from Rifugio Fata:

October 4th is World Animal Day. It all began in 1931 in Florence, Italy, at a convention of ecologists. They chose this day to highlight the importance of protecting animal life on our planet, in all its magical forms. (Eros thinks you'll agree that his ears are pretty magical!) The 4th of October was originally chosen because it is the feast day of the patron saint of animals, Francis of Assisi. Now, World Animal Day has evolved into an international movement and it is celebrated by animal-lovers of all beliefs, nationalities and backgrounds. Special events honoring and supporting our animal friends are held in communities all over the world - in schools, churches, rescue shelters and parks.

I am very excited to announce that a group of private sponsors have chosen to celebrate World Animal Day by pledging their support to Rifugio Fata, and they have offered to DOUBLE any donation made to the shelter TODAY through until MONDAY EVENING, with a maximum total of 2000 Euros. 

This means that whatever we can raise for Rifugio Fata this weekend will be DOUBLED on Monday night, and all proceeds will go towards paying their monthly food, medical, and transport bills. What a fantastic World Animal Day gift!

So please join us in our World Animal Day celebration and take a moment to press the DONATE button at the top or bottom of this page, and make a contribution - before Monday night!! - to our beautiful animal friends in need at this wonderful shelter.

Remember, your donation will automatically multiply!
