Caring for Pets
by Michelle Milliken
In addition to people, pets have benefitted from blankets and repaired windows in their homes, but you’ve also helped us provide aid for them in many other ways. That includes providing cat and dog food to animal lovers and shelters looking after animals left to fend for themselves amid Russian attacks. With medical care needed for many of them, getting help with food takes some financial stress off their plates.

One organization we’ve worked closely with is Patron Pet Center in Kyiv. Volunteers there have worked tirelessly to help rescue and care for animals evacuated from the front lines, animals which arrive on a daily basis as the cities where they live are hit with missile after missile. In recent months, Patron has had up to 200 animals at a time, who need food, care, and safety after their ordeal.

The rescue ensures pets get veterinary exams, vaccines, and spay and neuter surgeries, all while caring for their more immediate needs. Volunteers have continued this work despite their own issues with blackouts. You can read more about their work here. If you’d like to support their efforts, click here!
