This page explains how the Sponsor System works in more detail.

Please read this before submitting or managing a sponsor case.

  • The system is designed to:

    ​

    • Give each animal a fair chance

    • Prevent the platform from being overcrowded

    • Support both urgent and long-term cases

    • Allow new animals to enter regularly

  • We host a maximum of 6 active sponsor cases on the platform at any given time.

     

    This helps us:

    • Give each case proper visibility

    • Avoid overwhelming donors 

    • Increase the chances of successful fundraising

    When a case is removed, a new case takes its place.

  • Yes, each uploader can have a maximum of 2 active sponsor cases at a time.

  • Out of the 6 active cases, a maximum of 3 can be non medical boarding cases.
     

    This ensures a balance between:

    • Long-term cases (boarding)

    • Urgent or time-sensitive cases (medical, surgeries, etc.)

    Boarding is essential, but this limit helps give all types of cases fair visibility.

  • If your case reaches its full amount:

    • The profile is removed

    • You can upload a new case right away

    This allows urgent cases to be resolved quickly and opens space for other animals.

  • A case title is the specific need that Leaf Animals posts about and raises funds for — for example "Surgery" or "Tests + Vaccines." It's the headline of the case: what appears in posts and on the case's public listing.

  • A case can have a maximum of 2 case titles. This keeps the amount of time any one case occupies a slot limited, so the system stays fair for other animals waiting for a spot.

  • You can still list every need your animal has within the case. Only up to 2 of these are set as the case's official title(s) — This is what Leaf Animals will be posting about when we share the case on social media.

  • Some cases may include both.

    To keep the system fair and organized, each case is assigned one main category based on its primary goal:

    • If the main goal is treatment → it is considered a medical case

    • If the main goal is ongoing housing → it is considered a boarding case

     

    This helps maintain balance and prevent overcrowding in one category.

  • If the case does not reach its goal:

    ​

    • It stays active for the full 3-month period

    • Then it is removed automatically and can be re-uploaded after 3 months

  • Choose whichever case is more urgent to post now. We'll add extra time to your subscription to make up for the wait on the second case.

    Once a spot opens up and you post the second case, it follows the normal rules: when it collects its funds (or its 3 months run out), you'll need to wait 3 months before posting a new case.

  • No. A home needs to be secured first, before a case can collect funds for travel preparations.

  • Yes,  but only after a 3 month waiting period.

     

    Once a case is removed (whether it collected the whole amount early or not):

     

    👉 It must wait 3 months before being uploaded again

     

    This rule applies to all cases.

  • This is determined by the uploader.

    Leaf Animals doesn't independently track incoming donations, but our team may follow up on any case to check its progress. Uploaders are expected to report accurately.

  • The uploader will be banned from using Leaf Animals services.

    ​

  • Sponsor cases are shared in weekly rotation:

     

    • One case is highlighted each week

    • The following week, a different case is posted

    • ​

    This means your case will not be posted every week, but will rotate with other active cases.

    This approach increases focus and improves donation outcomes.

  • Please don't rely on Leaf Animals only to raise funds for your case.

     

    We ask all Uploaders to actively support their own cases by sharing, posting, and reaching out to their network.

     

    Leaf Animals provides visibility and support, but successful fundraising depends on combined efforts.

  • We understand that many cases can be urgent, but we host a maximum of 6 active cases at a time and cannot make exceptions once the platform is full.

     

    Adding more cases would reduce visibility for the others and affect their chances of receiving support.

    ​

    Urgency is not always only medical,  some cases may be urgent in other ways, such as safety or wellbeing.

    Please wait until a space becomes available so we can keep the system fair for all cases.
