Young Local Donates To RSPCA Mackay Animals

A simple act of kindness has delivered a big boost of cheer to animals in care at RSPCA Mackay, thanks to the generosity of a young local who chose compassion over personal reward.

Nate recently received a voucher from his workplace, but rather than spending it on himself, he walked into RSPCA Mackay with bags filled with toys, dog and cat food, and essential supplies for animals awaiting their forever homes.

RSPCA Mackay shared its appreciation, saying, “Thank you very much Nate! He received a voucher from his work and instead of spending it on himself he brought in bags of toys, dog and cat food. We hope to have him as a volunteer in the new year.”

For the local shelter, the donation arrived at a time when every item makes a meaningful difference. With many animals relying entirely on community support, contributions like Nate’s help ensure they receive comfort, enrichment and proper nutrition while in care.
RSPCA Mackay said it is always in need of practical items to support daily operations and animal wellbeing, including treats, toys, treat pouches, wet food, bones, collars and leads, medicated shampoos, and other donated goods.

“We are always in need of treats, toys, treat pouches, wet food, bones, collars and leads, medicated shampoos and anything you can donate is very much appreciated,” the organisation said.

Acts like Nate’s serve as a reminder that kindness doesn’t have to be grand to be powerful, and that small choices can have a lasting impact on the lives of animals, and the community, right here in Mackay.
