Every single day, creatures are abandoned or place into dog houses, determined by non profit organizations and goodwill. These organisations are strained beyond coping, and therefore are eager to raise understanding of the plight of destitute and abandoned creatures. Destitute Creatures Day aims to teach people about pet abandonment, feral creatures and benefits or nuking domestic creatures.

You need to separate your career and your compassion for other animals in this context.

It takes money to do anything in a capitalist society. As you can see in the link you posted, it says "donate" all over the place, as such organizations always do. They need money to operate and they still don't get to save most of the poor cats and dogs.

If you want to make a little difference, you can adopt a dog or a cat.

I adopted a cat from a shelter before, knowing that the rest of them went straight into the gas chambers. It felt good to have saved that cat with whom I still live, but at the same time it was a heart-wrenching and painful experience to know how helpless I was and those poor animals were.

One might be inclined to resort to the anti-abortionist terrorist type of action and burst into those concentration camps and rescue them, like PETA would.

But, you cannot take responsibilities for the fate of the rescued animals because they will be caught and pushed back in the cages on death row.

This is frustration and the current policy is grotesquely anthropocentric.

However, we cannot do much about it through violent or peaceful means.

Even if you take civil actions like petitions and so forth, it will be a lengthy process and you are unlikely to succeed. In the meantime, the animals will continue to get slaughtered.

One little hope is to convince the super-rich and get them in your camp.

Hollywood stars and CEO's of international conglomerates, for example.

Get them to represent your compassion and boost your camp.

You can also attempt to coax the rich into buying out small islands and release all those pets there for them to live on at their own peril.(though a secondary problem of affecting the island's biota will rise, but this need not be elaborated here.)

If a terrorist organization like Sea Shepherd and Eco-terrorist like Greenpeace can do it, I don't see why not for the banner of "save the pets from holocaust".

At least your cause is clearer and since you are not in for the money or political power, it seems far more legitimate than the former two.(I will not elaborate on their hypocrisies.)

One trap to beware of is this.

Do not mistake donation for your purpose, or you will be like SS and GP.

So, I would suggest you work some kind of a job, related or not to your ambition. Make sure the job allows you sufficient time for your most interested activities.

Good luck.

The money required to ...?

The mayor of New York City will not allow food to be distributed to the homeless because it contains too much salt.

We turn potatoes, corn, rice, wheat, and many other foods into alcoholic beverages.

I have seen huge trucks filled with milk pouring their contents down the sewer because it would cost too much to can it or evaporate it.

The U.S. government gives farmers money to not plant fields.

In India grains are fed to cows that could have been fed to people, but the cow is considered to be an ancestor reincarnated, and therefore cannot be eaten.

The U. S. has sent food to countries with starving people and the governments did not distribute the food to the starving people.

Many people help starving people by giving to World Vision, Compassion International, or Feed the Children.

Food shortages are not God's fault, they are the result of mankind's sinfulness and wastefulness.

An estimated 30 percent to 50 percent of the food produced in the world goes uneaten and ends up in landfill.

The average American throws away 33 pounds of food each month - about $40 worth - according to the Natural Resources Defense Council.

In a year each person throws away almost 400 pounds of food.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that 23 percent of eggs and an even higher percentage of produce ends up in the trash.

But the impact of food waste stretches far beyond the kitchen.

Agriculture is the world's largest user of water, a big consumer of energy and chemicals and major emitter of greenhouse gases during production, distribution and landfill decay.

Experts say reducing waste is a simple way to cut stress on the environment while easing pressure on farmers, who will be called on to feed an expected 9 billion people around the world in 2050, versus nearly 7 billion today.

No matter how sustainable the farming is, if the food's not getting eaten, it's not sustainable and it's not a good use of our resource.

In richer nations, edible fruit and vegetables end up in landfills because they are not pretty enough to meet a retailer's standards, have gone bad in a home refrigerator or were not eaten at a restaurant.

In developing countries, much food spoils before it gets to market due to poor roads and lack of refrigeration.

High food prices are another factor, some people can't afford the food.

Even in 2008, when there were hunger riots around the world, there was enough food to feed people, it was just too expensive.

Farmers have to travel up to 20 kilometers to get their milk to market, and due to a country's high temperatures, much of the milk gets wasted.

Europe is a leader in tackling food waste, but the United States is catching on.

A General Mills pizza plant found a way to use heat to make toppings stick to frozen pizzas better. The system is expected to prevent thousands of pounds of cheese and other pizza toppings from going to waste each year.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said 33 million tons of food waste hit landfills and incinerators in 2010.

Some food could be 'rescued' and used in soup kitchens, while certain leftovers could be used as animal feed.

Increasing composting could boost soil health and drought resistance, while also easing the burden on landfills and reducing decomposition of garbage into greenhouse gas methane.

People of every age - especially children - contribute to the food waste problem.

Unique things to ask for, for Christmas (14 year old girl)?

Admirable that you care more about others to not really want presents. Since you are athletic, maybe a gift certificate to an indie sports supply shop. You will be helping a small business instead of some corporate owned giant.

Also, ask for an item that requires a donation to the SPCA such as one of their coffee mugs or a wall calendar. If you want to sponsor a child, Compassion International is a well known group that does this and there are others too. Maybe you can ask your parents to take you to a soup kitchen or homeless shelter and you can volunteer there for the day.
