And we believe that the more a challenge is tailored to your interests, the more you’ll enjoying helping out our dogs and cats. Whether you want to walk, run, jump, swim, cycle, or more, we can help you help out the dogs and cats we love. Because we don’t get any regular government or statutory funding , the funds raised by you, our community through sponsored challenges makes all the difference to how we enrich the lives of the animals we care for all day, every day.
Sponsored Challenges
We never shy away from a challenge.
Sponsored Events
If active or adrenaline-filled challenges are your thing, why not sign up for a sponsored event and raise much-needed funds for Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home?

Streaming and Gaming

What's going on
Birthday fundraiser leaves a lasting mark
On the 4th of July 2024, The Devil’s Scribe Tattoo and Piercing Studio celebrated their 10th birthday by holding a fundraiser for the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home.
All day, they offered free tattoos and piercings in return for a donation to the Home. The whole team worked so hard and ended up raising an incredible £1,092.71!
And to celebrate even more, they matched the donation themselves leading to a whopping £2,177.71 in total donations, enough to keep all our cats warm for over 6 weeks.
Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home supporters reach new heights
Earlier this year two of our supporters, Zara and Calum, embarked on an awe-inspiring journey to Everest Base Camp, driven by their shared love for adventure and their dedication to supporting the Home. Facing the challenges of high altitude and rugged terrain, they persevered, raising over £1,300 for the Home!
‘The trek was not easy but definitely worth it,’ Zara reflected. ‘It’s a once in a lifetime achievement and we’re happy to have done it for a good cause’.
Thank you, Zara and Calum for your ‘dizzying’ support!
Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home supporters get crafty with it
Our new fundraising challenge, Craft Every Day in May, had supporters stitching and sewing earlier this year.
From painting to embroidery, needle felting, knitting, jewellery-making, and pyrography, your creativity knew no bounds and raised an amazing £5,200 which could provide over 200 essential vaccines for dogs in our care.
Thank you to everyone who donated or took part, we loved seeing all your creations!
