Adopt, don't shop. This is Desmond, a deaf cat rescued by PETA from his owner who kept him locked in a crate. He is now with a foster family, waiting for a fur-ever home. | PETA
In the true spirit of GIVING BACK and GROWING TOGETHER, we wanted to spotlight some of the causes that we are most passionate about. Since 2016, VEERAH has proudly donated more than 1% of our revenue to social impact causes. As we continue to grow and gain scale, we hope to be able to increase our charitable donations.
