This spring, UAnimals sent various essential care items to three shelters for farm animals. These supplies are now being used at shelters in Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, and Poltava regions.
One batch of helpful items went to the village of Kustolovi Kuschi in Poltava Oblast. The Animal Rescue House there is home to five horses, a calf, five goats, a boar, geese, ducks, and chickens. The shelter is run by Anastasiia Klimniuk, a 2025 Animal Rights Award laureate.
Another part of the aid was delivered to New World Kryvyi Rih, where a large group of farm animals lives as well: two cows and a calf, ten Vietnamese piglets, and five young goats evacuated from Kharkiv region.
One more package headed east — to Dobropillia in Donetsk Oblast, to a shelter run by the NGO Civic Legal Initiative. This shelter is also headed by an Animal Rights Award laureate, Viktoriia Zhydkova. Under her care are four cows, a pig, a sheep and a ram, 30 goats, and about 30 goat kids.
Each shelter received feed choppers — essential for quickly shredding beets, potatoes, pumpkins, and other fruits and vegetables for the animals.
They also received disinfectants for cleaning animal housing.
Among the gifts were reptukhy — fabric feed bags filled with hay or grass and hung at a certain height for animals to graze comfortably.
And of course, there were treats — not sweet ones, though. Farm animals much prefer salt licks.
The total value of the aid is 83,947 UAH.
