Mother's Day gifts for animal-loving mums
Reviewed — suggested amounts · Editorial policy
For the mum who feeds the birds, fosters the waifs and would rather help an animal than own another candle. Pick her animal, add her name, and print a card that tells her what kind of care her Mother’s Day gift supports.
Mother's Day 2027: — nothing is posted, and you can print a gift card on the day itself.
What is a charity Mother's Day gift?
A charity Mother's Day gift is a donation in your mum's name to WARN’s general fund, named after a kind of animal care: £10 for a week of rescue-dog meals, £25 to see a hedgehog through winter. Print a free gift card with her name and your message, ready for the day itself.
Who should skip this: Skip these picks if they wanted a live animal, a posted hamper, or Gift Aid on the donation. World Animal Rescue Network is a CIC — no Gift Aid, no pet in the hallway. Print our gift card if they need something to open.

How does this gift work?
- Pick a tag. Each gift names a kind of care and has a suggested amount, not a measured cost.
- Donate through WARN. Your gift goes to WARN's “Where it's needed most” fund, and WARN emails you a receipt.
- Print the card. Make a free printable gift card with their name and your message, then print it or save it as a PDF.
Common questions
Will the gift card be ready in time for Mother's Day?
Yes. Make a printable gift card as soon as you have donated, then print it or save it as a PDF. Nothing is posted, so it is ready however late you leave it. WARN emails you a payment receipt; it does not send a certificate.
Can I pick the animal my mum's gift helps?
You pick the animal and the kind of care the tag names: cats, dogs, donkeys, seals, hedgehogs and more. Each amount is a suggested donation rather than a measured price, and the money goes to WARN’s general fund.
