I am very familiar with Cuddly
I am very familiar with Cuddly. I have donated to Cuddly many times. Every time I read a new situation, I want to donate but the items that the dog or cat needs is so expensive. I also had trouble in the past with filling out the donation form. It never believed me that the phone number I entered was real. By staying away for a while, it seemed to clear the problem!

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. CUDDLY applies a transaction fee of $2.99 to help cover business costs and fees that are charged by our payment processor.
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!

I think Cuddly does such a wonderful job with communicating their mission. I feel that every rescue posting is clear and transparent. I also enjoy the “updates” tab so we can keep up on a rescue’s progress. I’d love to get more “happy” emails about a rescue’s transformation. Like a “before and after”. Those emails make donors happy and it reinforces that our donations are actually impactful.
