No one should have to choose between feeding themselves or their pet.

Treat Me Kind is a Sussex animal welfare charity. We give emergency pet food through local foodbanks and help people keep their pets at home.

Christmas care packages

£25 could help provide an emergency care package for a pet and the person who loves them this Christmas.

Pet food, a warm blanket and other little essentials, plus socks and tins of soup for the person receiving it where we can. Gift Aid your gift by ticking the box when you donate online, if you are eligible.

Why it matters

For many people, a pet is their only constant. They bring comfort, routine and love. But as the cost of living rises, more families struggle to afford even the basics.

Too often, people are forced into impossible choices: feed myself, or my pet? Pay the bills, or take my animal to the vet? We exist so that no one has to make that choice.
