Support this family-run charity with a passion for animal welfare
Munlochy Animal Aid is an animal rescue centre located on the Black Isle providing care for sick animals and working to rehome them. The centre also helps aid low-income families with vet bills. Supporting those who need that bit of extra help is a priority for Munlochy Animal Aid, and the charity is proud to have helped a considerable amount of highlands pet owners with their vet bills last year.
Founded in 1979 by Iona Nicol and her mother Margaret Macdonald, the charity works to find permanent, suitable and loving homes for animals who have been abandoned or suffered from abuse or neglect.
Nearly 45 years later, Munlochy Animal Aid has grown to become one of Inverness’ best animal rescue centres, caring for dozens of sick animals and working to rehome them. From rabbits to guinea pigs, gerbils, fish and birds, sheep, goat (currently an elderly fellow called Slioch), four pigs to horses (Munlochy now has 17 in residence), many of the animals stay for life.
Upcoming fundraising events
Show your support and be sure to attend one of Munlochy Animal Aid’s upcoming fundraising events.
Iona said: “Our fundraising efforts start again at Dingwall Mart on Sunday, March 31 where we will have a table running a tombola, home baking (baked by our own Moira, of course!) and maybe some bric a brac. We are doing the same at Tesco Dingwall three weeks later and then on July 6 at the Dingwall Fire Brigade fair.
“They are well supported events and we do raise a nice amount to add to our Munlochy funds. We would be grateful for any donations for our tombola and bottles of all kinds would be welcome. Hope you all come along and support us all. Your support makes our work possible and the animals need all the help they can get.”
- Sunday March 31 at Dingwall Mart Car Boot Sale
- Sunday April 21 at Tesco Dingwall
- Saturday July 6 at Dingwall Fire Brigade Gala
Right now Iona details that the centre is overwhelmed with pets and dogs to rehome due to Covid, financial worries, weather changes, moving home and more.
