Cuddly
reviews and complaints

It's so cool that they help animals! The animals I seen on here would die without they help!

Cuddly helps ***. It's heartbreakin' what people do to animals, and Cuddly helps rescue and treat these poor fur babies.

I've done some research on Cuddly and I gotta say, the stuff I pick out and buy for a new animal every two weeks when I get my paycheck really makes a big difference. My heart goes out to the animals and the people who are doing this incredible work. ?

Before I send money to a charity, I always make sure to do my research. Cuddly is a trustworthy platform that acts as a middleman for numerous rescues. They cover their expenses by accepting tips and selling products at slightly higher prices than your typical pet store, which seems reasonable. I've made several donations and plan to keep doing so as long as Cuddly doesn't alter its structure or mission.

I give monthly to Cuddly and donate to special need help animals. I also give monthly to Greater Good, Best Friend, HSUS, SOI, etc. I love what Cuddly does, they are amazing. My only complaint is I'd like to know what happened to certain pups I donated quite a bit to. But I know that must be hard, so I'll keep on giving to such a wonderful cause. They are great.

I donate every month and what I really like about this site is that it connects you with a lot of info about the really bad animal situations in the country. It helps out a bunch of animal charities who are dealing with some really tough cases, and I know that my little donation is going to a cause that really needs it. I also like that they keep me updated on the animals, even after they've found a new home or a forever home. I wish I could find them on Charity ***, but the charities that work with them keep on doing it, which tells me that they're actually providing the support they say they are.

Their website, Cuddly.com, looks a bit fake to me. I always wonder why they picked that name. I've actually considered reaching out to someone to investigate this. Even their name doesn't seem genuine, it feels staged. I come across a lot of these kinds of websites online, and it breaks my heart to think that animals might be suffering just so they can create a situation where they appear to be helping them, all while asking for money to buy expensive things. Every time I see their site on my screen, my gut tells me something's not right. It makes me feel sick to think that these poor animals are being harmed and used as props to get people to donate money.

I like how animal welfare organizations can share their toughest, heart-wrenching, costly cases on Cuddly and receive funding. That's why I donate to many animals there, but only with money. I've checked out numerous product suggestions on Cuddly Wishlist, and boy, are they pricey! Sometimes they're twice as expensive or even more compared to similar items on pet-product websites that aim to make a profit. I've heard that Cuddly follows a for-profit business model where they buy products in bulk and mark them up, but why do they mark them up so much more than other pet-product sellers? I want my donation to support abused and suffering animals, not to line someone's pockets.

It's really sad how some people can be so cruel, it breaks my heart. But I have to be careful with my money, otherwise I won't be able to pay my bills. I like Cuddly's idea of having a central platform for small rescue organizations to reach a larger audience. I feel like I should at least read the stories, even though it hurts. It's nothing compared to the pain those poor sweet babies are going through. It's hard to choose because they all deserve help and they need it urgently. That's why I want to make a monthly donation to the least funded organization.

I do have a question though: Cuddly is a for-profit company, which is fine. But if you don't make money by keeping a percentage of the donations or selling items at a profit, how do you make money to pay your employees and keep the lights on? I think I saw on your website that you have around 41 employees in the 'about' section.
