Discussion Huge thanks from animals of Ukraine
(Note: all photos and experiences are from days ago)
I wanted to see a huge thank you to everyone who contributed to our drive to bring pet food to the suffering animals of Ukraine. I believe we gathered at least 900 kg of food which we distributed to five different groups between Lviv and [redacted] where I am today with the Ukrainian Marines (we left a few bags of cat dog food for the pets that helped the Marines just get through the day).
The most amazing shelter was in Dnipro. From the outside, it looked like a rundown shanty, but the inside was one of the nicest shelters I’ve ever seen. There were special rooms for FIV positive Cats, sick cats, disabled cats, cats, cats ready for adoption, old cats, and kittens. It took every ounce of strength to leave that place without a few in my pocket!
Along the way, we saw many sad things. There’s a cat who comes around the house where I’m staying. She looks very sick and has a terrible eye infection. I don’t know what to do for her as I don’t have the capacity to move her. It’s likely that she will just die, but that’s a reality of life here. I’m in a village that’s not far from the front line where children and people still live. You cannot save everyone, sadly. What I did for this little baby is to just give her affection, to make sure she experiences love.
I will try to list the shelters that we supported in comments.
