To raise money and shine a light on animals in need.
why we're doing this
Because care should never come down to cost.
Right now, somewhere in the UK, there's a dog with a treatable illness and an owner who simply can't afford the vet bill. A cat who needs surgery that costs more than a month's rent. Animals whose only barrier to a happy, healthy life is money.
That's where Care Over Cost steps in, covering treatment for animals in need, so no pet ever goes without care because of the price tag.
So twelve of us are swapping our beds for kennel floors. One night behind bars is nothing compared to what these animals face, but it might just change everything for them.

Care Over Cost
Helping animals get the treatment they deserve.
Care Over Cost is a UK charity with one simple belief: no animal should suffer because their treatment costs too much. They step in where the bills get in the way, funding vet care for dogs and cats whose families can't, and giving animals in need a fair chance at a healthy life.
