Who can we help?
As much as we at FIP Cats Australia would love to save every cat or kitten from FIP, we do have some limitations.
We are an Australian based charity & have some limitations on how and who we can help.
Due to our ACNC charity status (for those internationally, this is our government regulation for not for profits) we cannot conduct business outside of Australia. Therefore we cannot donate, or do much else for our international followers other than provide information. We cannot promote GoFundMe or donation pages for any cases unless they are based in Australia, we can direct you to other groups where you could share your promotional page.
Due to our current size and the fact we are volunteer run, we cannot take on the responsibilities that comes with being able to conduct business outside of Australia. It is not in the foreseeable future, maybe one day if we get to the size of Amnesty or those alike, we could, but that is highly unlikely.
We will endeavour to support those internationally with information or provide you with contacts of other people we may have spoken to in your country to assist you on your journey as they know the legalities for your location, but at this stage that is all we can do.
We felt its important for us to publicly announce this as we have had a lot of international cases contact us and we do not want them to feel we dont want to help, it's just we can only legally do so much.
