We were very pleased that our auction raised just under $2,200. We hope these funds (and our promotion of the work Yvette does) goes some way to help her do her valuable work into the future.

ONLINE AUCTION FOR SOULS & STARS SANCTUARY
We hosted an online auction fundraiser for this amazing WA animal sanctuary in Toodyay and raised just under $1000 for them. These funds will go directly to help them care for the animals at the sanctuary. And that makes us very happy!
From Souls and Stars Sanctuary -
"One could think our story started on the 6. of January 2004, the day we became guardians of this wonderful place by buying these 650 ac of land, one hour car drive from Perth, that we now call “SOULS AND STARS SANCTUARY”. But …maybe it began in 2003, when we decided to take over a herd of 25 wild ponies, buying them on a Friday afternoon when their transport to the abattoir was already booked for Monday morning.
By this time we lived in a house in Perth’s suburbia and had not the slightest idea where to agist our 25 new family members. But that didn’t deter me from on-the-spot deciding to save their lives and trusting that our forever home was coming into manifestation soon.
I will forever remember the look on my husband’s face, coming back from a business trip and learning that the ponies I told him about few days ago are now living with us for the rest of their lives! But thinking of it, he should have seen it coming! Being together since nearly four decades I guess we know how the other one is ticking, and coming across an animal that needs rescuing always meant only one thing for me: a new family member."

ONLINE FUNDRAISERS FOR 2020
ONLINE AUCTION FOR A BETTER LIFE ANIMAL SANCTUARY
We were excited to hear about another farm animal Sanctuary in WA - A Better Life Animal Sanctuary - and pleased we had the resources to host an online auction for them in November this year.
A Better Life Animal Sanctuary is set on a 200-acre property near York in the wheatbelt and while they don’t have the funds to adopt every animal, they also help with finding new homes through their adoption program.
They have been able to find more good homes for animals through this program than they would have alone, as the numbers of animals that need new homes is sadly immense.
While primarily they provide a home for farm animals, they have also adopted native animals, dogs and rabbits, as well as sheep, rams, cows, pigs, alpacas, goats, chickens, roosters, and more.
A Better Life Animal Sanctuary is committed to giving farm animals a new, better life. Many of the animals who they have found a forever home were saved from abuse or neglect, while others were simply unwanted or abandoned.
As a not-for-profit organization all their funds go back into the direct care and rehabilitating orphaned or sick and injured animals. They hope to educate and raise awareness of living a conscious, ethical life that excludes the exploitation of animals.
Image shows Izzy and friends who are lucky to call A Better Life Animal Sanctuary their home filled with love and respect.

Our 3rd auction for 2020 was to raise funds for the hard working team at Happy Hooves Farm Sanctuary and raised just over $1,600 ♥

Happy Hooves Farm Sanctuary assists rescue groups and individuals help farm animals needing adoption, and to provide hands-on, short or long term care to farmed animals in need. They have been helping animals since 2009, and during this time have offered advertising and guidance, temporary foster care, rehabilitation and/or permanent refuge to a variety of animals. With a focus on farm animals, their objective is to assist West Australian rescues and individuals when they are trying to find temporary and permanent homes for animals in need. This amazing sanctuary now has over 200 animals in their care and we will be showcasing some of these gorgeous critters over the next few days ♥

ONLINE AUCTION FOR ROMEO'S RABBIT RESCUE
Our "urgent and last minute" auction for Romeo's Rabbit Rescue came about when we received a call for help from a supporter as the rescue was struggling financially. Each Rabbit rescued by this hard working group is vaccinated, microchipped and desexed - all very costly! The cost for these treatments and procedures is $185 per Rabbit and that's all the adoption fee is for each of these gorgeous Bunnies.
Our auction was a great success and with the help of the community, we raised just under $1,000 that went direclty into the Romeo's Rabbit Rescue bank account. Please support this group and all their bunnies.

ONLINE FUNDRAISERS FOR 2019
URGENT ONLINE AUCTION FOR KOALAS IN CARE & KOALA RESCUE QLD
We hosted an Urgent Xmas Auction for 2 organisations: Koalas in Care and Koala Rescue Queensland.
Both of these groups have rescued and saved animals suffering in the devastating fires that have swept across NSW and Queensland.
KOALAS IN CARE INC is a non-profit organisation and a registered charity run by volunteers and has no paid employees. Licensed by the Office of Environment & Heritage, our operational area covers approximately 843 000 hectares across three Local Government Areas – Greater Taree, Gloucester and over half of Great Lakes.
This vast area contains a wide spectrum of climates, soil types, vegetation communities and ‘people problems’ which affect the koalas living within the area.
KOALAS IN CARE INC is independently operated and is based in Taree, New South Wales, Australia. Although KOALAS IN CARE INC was only established in July 2005, our founding members, Paul and Christeen McLeod, have been working with koalas in this area since 1993.
Our volunteers are committed to the welfare and preservation of our wild koala population and their habitat. We operate a 24hr koala rescue service for sick/injured/orphaned koalas and work 365 days per year. Our Facility is not open to the public.
Our organisation receives no recurrent Government funding and relies on the kind generosity of the public for donations/bequests and support. This along with our own fundraising enables us to care for and rehabilitate the koalas that are admitted for treatment thus ensuring that the koalas have the best chance of recovery so that we can return as many as possible back to the wild. ~ http://www.koalasincare.org.au/
Koala Rescue Queensland Inc is a not-for profit 24 hour rescue service for sick, injured and orphaned koalas throughout Queensland.
Based in the Sunshine Coast we receive calls from far and wide; we will do whatever it takes to save our favourite Aussie Battler! We also provide transfers from vets, hospitals, carers and other rescue services to wildlife hospitals. Unlike other koala rescue services we have no time frame or travel boundaries, therefore we are able to service the entire Queensland area as best we can.
Not only do we work with koalas, we also work with schools and communities to promote awareness about habitat protection and the risks associated with the decline in koala numbers from dog attacks, road trauma and diseases. We also regularly plant new koala food trees in Queensland to promote future habitat for our koalas. ~ https://www.koalarescueqld.org/

ONLINE AUCTION FOR POSSUM VALLEY ANIMAL SANCTUARY
We hosted an online auction for Possum Valley Animal Sanctuary (PVAS) and called it "World Animal Day".
Our auction started on 4th October which is World Animal Day and we couldn't think of a better way to commemorate animals than an auction for a farm animal sanctuary.
Chris and Mark (the founders of PVAS), have regular day jobs and although that helps with some of their bills, they still need support from their community to keep the sanctuary running for over 170 animals in their care.
We love supporting the WA farm sanctuaries and will continue to host auctions for each of them every year.

ONLINE AUCTION FOR ANIMALS AUSTRALIA
We hosted an online auction to support Animals Australia.
Our online auction started on the 30th of May which was the 8th anniversary of the ABC 4 Corners screening of "A Bloody Business".
The footage garnered by Lyn White AM (Member of the Order of Australia) who is Investigations Director and Director of Strategy for Animals Australia, brought the treatment of animals within an overseas slaughterhouse into stark focus and shocked most of us (here and overseas).
It also compelled a lot of us to question our ethics and research the treatment of "food" animals in our own country.
The truth of what was happening to animals in our own "back yard" was just as ugly and cruel as what was happening in Indonesia. This awakening propelled many, many people to become #Vegan. They no longer wanted to support this cruelty.
Our online auction was our way of saying thank you to Animals Australia for all the work they do every day to investigate and expose cruelty, educate and inspire the public, strengthen the animal protection movement and advocate for change. <3
** Warning: text within the link will be upsetting to some **

ONLINE AUCTION FOR GREENER PASTURES SANCTUARY
Earlier in 2018 we had decided to pledge to do fundraisers for the 3 Western Australian "farm" animal sanctuaries from 2019 and into the future - for as long as we could!
We feel the 3 sanctuaries - Greener Pastures Sanctuary, Happy Hooves Farm Sanctuary and Possum Valley Animal Sanctuary are extremely worthy of our support not only because they work 24/7 to save and look after hundreds of animals, they are giving us all joy and hope. Hope for a better future for those animals who the majority of people see as "food".
So, our first auction for 2019 was for Greener Pastures Sanctuary titled "Happy New Year!" and we want to thank all those who supported the auction with donations and generous bids.

ONLINE AUCTION FOR ANIMAL JUSTICE PARTY WA - KATRINA LOVE
Our first online auction for 2018 was to raise funds for Katrina Love, State Convenor Animal Justice Party AJP Western Australia since 2013 and National Vice President since November 2017.
A few members of FOTA Perth went to the Animal Justice Party WA AGM last year and were surprised to learn that Katrina personally covers all costs incurred carrying out Animal Justice Party (AJP) duties associated with her roles. Costs include air travel and accommodation to attend AJP-related events as a representative for AJP.
