Where Your Ticket Money Goes
Tails of the Forgotten Paws is a Melbourne-based, 100% volunteer-run animal welfare charity. Many animals who enter our care need veterinary treatment, rehabilitation and foster care before they are ready for adoption.
Funds raised through the Community Lottery can help provide:
- Veterinary consultations and specialist treatment
- Desexing, vaccinations and microchipping
- Food, litter and essential supplies
- Emergency medical care
- Rehabilitation and behavioural support
- Assistance for foster carers
- Ongoing care for animals with complex medical or behavioural needs
Every ticket helps us continue saying yes to animals and families who need support.
