Since just days after the war in Ukraine started in February 2022, PETA Germany and its partners have been risking it all to save animals in need. From flooding to missile strikes, Global Compassion Fund–backed teams have risked it all to help Ukraine’s animals. Meet some of the beautiful souls who now have a second chance at life because of your support.
In Vovchansk, Ukraine, the booms of constant shellings terrify stray and abandoned animals struggling to survive in the war zone. The many terrified cats are difficult to rescue, as they’re quick, quiet, and skillful skulkers. Thankfully, volunteers from PETA-supported Animal Rescue Kharkiv brave the dangers to rescue all the animals they can and have specific methods for containing terrified felines so that they can be relocated safely. See how they do it:
After being cared for by veterinarian staff, the rescued cats are transported to the Little Prince rehabilitation center, where they can relax, recuperate, and even exercise their climbing skills before being adopted.
PETA’s Global Compassion Fund is supported exclusively by the contributions of kind individuals like you. Your gift is helping PETA entities and partners create positive, sustainable change in corners of the Earth where animals desperately need assistance—and may have no other hope.
