There are so many ways to support Helping Outside Animals, and every bit makes a difference! You can make a one-time or monthly donation to help cover food, medical care, and supplies for animals in need. We gratefully accept monetary donations via

Venmo (@NGT22)
PayPal (@ENDBSL)
CashApp ($NGT22)
GoFundMe – Medical

You can also donate supplies like cat food, litter, traps, carriers, and outdoor shelters—or check out our Amazon Wishlist! (See list below)

However you choose to give, thank you for helping us care for the ones who can’t ask for help themselves. 🐾💛

Here is a list of supplies our rescue could always use. To donate, you can send items through our Amazon Wish List or ask to meet one of our volunteers in the Greater Waterbury area. Thank you so much for your support! 🐈‍⬛♥️
