Welcome to Our Op Shop

A Haven for Animal Lovers

At our heart-warming op shop in Castlemaine, we wear our love for animals on our sleeves. Not only do we offer a treasure trove of items for thrift enthusiasts, but every purchase supports our mission to provide much-needed resources to smaller wildlife groups.

Supporting Wildlife Through Simple Acts

  • Essential Resources: Our network helps us supply wildlife groups with towels, blankets, pillow slips, and sheets for animal rescues.
  • Promoting Conservation: We champion the essential and vital work of conservation groups and use our reputation to advocate for animal welfare.
  • Community Connection: Our bonds within the community allow us to be a voice for animals and a bridge to those who share our passion.

Traditional Op Shopping with a Purpose

Our shop combines the traditional op shop spirit with something unique. We have a collectibles section for larger items and vintage/antique pieces, thoughtfully donated by families who trust our mission.

Trusted Donations

Many locals choose us over auction houses, appreciating our dedication to maximising funds from their generous gifts.
