Gifts in memory of a much-loved pet

Reviewed — prices checked with partner shelters

For the dog who was there every morning, the cat who chose you, the rabbit who ruled the garden. A donation in their name keeps another animal safe — the kindest kind of remembering.

How do I make a donation in memory of a pet?

Choose the care your pet’s gift funds — a month’s kennel for a rescue dog (£40), a warm cat pod (£30) or a hedgehog seen through winter (£25) — and donate in their name. You receive a dedication e-certificate carrying your pet’s name and the exact care funded in their memory.

How it works

  1. Pick a tag. Every gift is priced at the real cost of the care it names.
  2. Add their name. The recipient travels with your donation to WARN's secure page.
  3. Send the certificate. A personalised e-certificate is emailed after payment — keep it, print it or forward it.

Common questions

Can the certificate carry my pet’s name?

Yes — the personalised dedication e-certificate names your pet and describes the care funded in their memory. It is emailed to you after the donation completes, ready to keep or print.

One-off or monthly — which makes a better pet memorial?

Both work. A one-off gift like a £25 hedgehog overwinter marks a date; a monthly sponsorship like a £30 cat pod keeps their memory helping animals every month. You can start or stop whenever you choose.

Is this different from a tribute fund?

A tribute fund is an ongoing collection in someone’s name; a pet memorial gift here is a single or monthly donation funding named care. For human memorials and tribute funds, see our gifts in memory page.
