Emergency fund

All the shelters around the island are full most of the time, with a waiting list as long as a year. We try to concentrate on the animals that cant make it outside, the ones who are sick, young, old, injured or in danger of being killed. But since we specialise with the animals that really need it, we also come across gross neglect often. A dog can have one leg hanging from a shred of skin, a cat can have half of its face melted, or the animal might look like a target wall, with bullet wounds all over. 

We can never say no to an animal like this but most of the time we lack the funds to help. Even though we have vets co-operating with us, that are willing to give us payment time, we already owe them thousands and thousands. This is why we try to collect an emergency fund, that will be used when ever there is an animal, that needs an urgent surgery or medical care. 

Note! We update the meters at least once a week, so be sure to check back and see how your donation made a difference!

The cat with a mouth wound

This small cat was found at one of our feeding stations, desperately trying to eat. Something was clearly wrong, since he kept gaging and we catch'd him to see what was wrong. Indeed, his mouth had a huge open wound which prevented him from eating and was almost infected.

Thommy - abandoned at the vet station

This poor dog was taken to the vet by it's owner, who wanted to put him to sleep. Why? Because he has a parasite problem. This is easily curable with just some worming pills and absolutely not a reason to put a dog down‼️‼️
