Our Mission
At Cash's Crew Rescue, our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and provide a safe haven for abused, neglected, and abandoned donkeys. Inspired by the incredible journey of Cash the Donkey, we are dedicated to showing these misunderstood animals the love and care they deserve while educating the world on just how special donkeys truly are.
Cash's story began with heartbreak—he was rejected by his mother at birth and left without the care he needed to survive. From day one, he needed round-the-clock bottle feedings, constant attention, and unconditional love. We raised him like a member of the family, and in return, he grew into something truly special.
But his impact didn't stop there. As we shared his journey online, Cash captured the hearts of millions, amassing over 600,000 followers on Tiktok alone, and being featured in major media outlets. His story of resilience, love, and second chances has inspired people all over the world.
Through Cash's Crew Rescue, we are carrying his story forward by providing a second chance to donkeys in need. Through rescue, rehabilitation, education, and advocacy, we are not just saving donkeys—we are changing perceptions and ensuring they receive the love and respect they deserve.
