GIVING BACK
I am so grateful for the fact that I get to spend my days celebrating everything that is wonderful about pets – and I am equally grateful to have been able to build my little business to a place where I can give back to our furry, feathered and four-legged friends.
~ 50% of the Tails Book sessions are donated straight back to animal rescue
~ $600/year donated through the Ragamuffin of the Month Competition
~ Over $3000 worth of Photoshoot Gift Vouchers donated each year
~ Fundraising calendars
~ Adoption profile photos
“Caitlin is the most patient photographer I have ever worked with, I would highly recommend her. Every family that we have sent to Ragamuffin Pet Photography have been amazed by her ability to connect with their children and dogs and to have captured the special bond a child shares with their companion or assistance dog.”
Adoption Photoshoots
“If dogs had a hero, Caitlin McColl of
Ragamuffin Pet Photography might just be it.
This beautiful documentarian of people and their pets has given much of her time (and heart) to applying her art to the very practical application of creating ‘adoption worthy’ profiles for animals that need homes.
Fundraising, campaigning and beautifying pound puppies are all part of the day when ‘giving back’ for this passionate photographer.”
HeARTS Speak is an international organisation that unites animal artists and animal rescues, together fighting for a deeper understanding and better future for the voiceless. HeARTS Speak artists are working to dispel the "stigma that [animals] found at shelters or rescues are somehow damaged or deficient and therefore, inferior."
Unbelievably, we only need to increase shelter adoptions by 3% to stop the unnecessary killing of adoptable animals. Just 3%!

“Caitlin’s skill, patience, flexibility and creativity is nothing short of miraculous. She volunteers her time to us at The Mark’s Ark Inc, photographing our adoption animals so they have a better chance at being homed.
She is truly gifted in all that she does, and she is also funny, witty, and a genuinely kind, caring, compassionate human being. I would recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for pet photography. Grab her with both hands and don’t let go!”
