when I was about to donate, the form stated my phone number was optional so I opted out but it would not allow me to continue. It’s too bad because I couldn’t donate.

Hard to see how the dog is doing now. Would like to get updates. Glad to contribute when possible. But knowing the situation helps.

Hello there, Thank you for reaching out to me with your inquiry-and for the compassion you've shown towards the animals we support. Any updates we get about the animals automatically show up on their campaign page, and if you've donated to the animal, they'll be automatically emailed to you. If you reach out to [email protected], we can look and see if theres an update for them! We do try to get regular updates, but as you might expect, animal welfare organizations are very busy. I do apologize for the inconvenience here; we do make our best effort to keep campaigns fully updated. Thanks for your support and understanding

It was easy to make a donation here, but when I was at the end there was a request for a tip, (ok, I was able to determine what I wanted to give), but then there was as added charge of $2.99. by the time I was done it was much more that I signed up to give.

Hello, Thank you so much for your feed back, we value it very highly. CUDDLY applies a transaction fee of $2.99 to help cover business costs and fees that are charged by our payment processor. We also endeavor to ensure their campaigns are successful by providing tools and marketing efforts at zero cost to them. Please let me know if I can answer any questions for you or be of any assistance. We greatly appreciate all you do for animals in need.

I don't want emails every single day from you. Please change my subscription to once a week. If you don't, I will completely unsubscribe. No one has time for this. Thank you.

Hi, Thanks so much for the review, we take your feedback very seriously. Concerning the tipping feature, we implemented this option to help keep our platform completely free for shelters and rescues to use. That being said, the tip feature is also 100% optional. If a tip was inadvertently added to your donation, our friendly customer service team can get that refunded for you. You can reach out to us at [email protected]. Thank you for joining us in the mission to save more animals!

To many fees involved with donating. Seems like I have to pay an extra 10-15% in taxes and fees.

Hello, Thank you for your review, we take your feedback very seriously. CUDDLY is a fundraising and wishlist platform solely dedicated to supporting verified non-profit animal rescues, shelters, and municipal organizations. We work with over 4,000+ animal welfare organizations around the world and 90% of the monetary donations made are sent directly to the rescue pet in need of care. The remaining 10% goes towards additional marketing, tools, and resources to better support our partners and help them reach their fundraising goals. Donations on CUDDLY's platform are tax-deductible and we've helped 46k+ rescued animals in need. Any and all donations go towards making a positive difference in the animal's road to recovery and are greatly appreciated. It is important to note that we keep our platform totally free for animal welfare groups. Being for-profit, for-good allows us to offer many additional opportunities to our partners such as being able to fundraise for transport vehicles, paid television advertising, and promotional spots on social media. We also provide an email marketing tool that helps to easily send emails at the most optimal times in order to reach their campaign goals. These are all tools that would otherwise be unavailable or inaccessible for many of our partners. These features and our campaign success rates are why nonprofit shelters choose to partner with us time and time again. We thank you so much for any and all critiques, as we are always working to improve. Please let me know if you have any further questions or comments!
