📌 Day 1,698 of the full-scale war Yesterday, we sent 24 kilograms of food to the soldiers who are caring for 12 cats at their posts in the Dnipropetrovsk and Sumy regions. We are infinitely grateful to the defenders who protect us every day and care for animals even under the most difficult conditions. We also delivered another 250 kilograms of food to the Friend Forever shelter in the Ternopil region, which takes in animals rescued from the front lines. Evacuation marks the beginning of the animals’ journey toward a safer life. However, injuries, the trauma of shelling, and illnesses take their toll, so cats and dogs require long-term veterinary care. Please support the fundraiser for the treatment of injured and sick animals from the front lines: uanimals.org/en/zbir/fundrai… Thank you to everyone who supports our work and helps save lives 🫂

Thank you for helping us support them❤️

This Cats’ Day, we wish there were no stray cats, and all of them had a safe home. You can make this dream one step closer by adopting a cat from your local shelter. And if you can’t adopt, cat shelters often need volunteers both for regular and once-in-a-while help 🐾 📸 @SchnellJay
