Volunteers at Chally Animal Rescue come from a range of backgrounds - but we all have one thing in common: we are all passionate about helping the forgotten animals in our society.

On a daily basis, this is in the form of the many foster animals we look after and adopt into loving, forever homes. But more than this, we are passionate about long-term solutions and community education; our dream is that one day we are no longer needed.

Mrs Moggie & Co is a small group dedicated to improving animal welfare in our community.

We take in animals who need a second chance at life, either from pounds or private surrenders, and provide them with the care they need to be rehomed.

All animals who leave Mrs Moggie & Co will leave desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and flea-treated.

We are committed to ensuring that each animal who passes through our group has a secure future, which is why we include trial periods for adoptions, remain as an emergency contact on microchips, and commit to taking any animal back in should the owner/s no longer be able to care for them.

Contact: 0448 353 865 or mrsmoggie@outlook.com.
