Fundraiser for the Treatment of Animals Cared for by Soldiers, 7.0

We receive hundreds of requests for help from soldiers. They shelter animals near the front line, feed them, and treat them on their own. But when they are unable to cover the cost of treatment, they turn to us — and we help them care for the animals in their charge.

We provide treatment for domestic, wild, and farm animals. We also sterilize cats and dogs, as those born near the front line have almost no chance of survival.

For example, we helped cover the treatment of a dog named Kamila from Komyshuvakha in the Zaporizhzhia region. She was noticed by a soldier who, in civilian life, worked as a veterinarian. Kamila had lost an eye, could not stand up, and was found to be pregnant. The defender performed surgery on her, sterilized her, and removed the damaged eye. However, for further treatment Kamila was taken to a veterinary clinic. There, doctors diagnosed inflammation and swelling of the heart, as well as internal injuries. Her condition was critical, but thanks to treatment Kamila recovered — she can now walk on her own and is living in temporary care.

We were also contacted by a volunteer who asked for help for a kitten named Varia. Near Orikhiv in the Zaporizhzhia region, a cat gave birth to five kittens in an abandoned house. Soldiers cared for them, fed them, and bought food whenever they had the chance to go into the city. One morning, Varia did not come for feeding, and later she was found in extremely critical condition. The kitten could barely move and could not lift her head. Varia was urgently taken to a clinic, where she was diagnosed with displaced fractures of the pelvis and femur.

We covered all the necessary expenses: at the clinic, Varia underwent surgery, received proper care, and was helped to recover. She is now living in temporary care with the volunteer.

We urgently need to raise UAH 550,000 (~$13,095) to help us respond to as many requests as possible. This will help defenders serving in the Kharkiv, Sumy, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Mykolaiv regions.

Please help the military care for the animals beside them. We cannot do this without you.
