Since 2016, Rusmira has been taking in mama cats, kittens, dogs and puppies either into her own house or into paid foster space. They are taken to the vets, injuries treated, vaccinated, chipped and neutered before we try to find forever homes. Rusmira spends sleepless nights bottle feeding these adorable, helpless, abandoned animals and nursing their many injuries. A small number of Uk Volunteers raise funds and support adopters in the UK.
In addition, we run a Facebook page ; https://www.facebook.com/groups/739601592868670, run a monthly auction of donated items , sell on e bay and do anything to raise funds. We conduct homechecks on potential adopters and over see the transport to the UK.
We are a non-profit organization and are 100 % run by volunteers only. We currently support over 50 cats and 30 dogs. Unfortunately, many of the stray kittens, puppies, cats and dogs aren't healthy and need additional vet treatment. We heavily rely on our regular donors to help cover the vet bills which we could not be more grateful for.
However, over the last months, the unpaid bills have spiralled to £ 2000. With an unprecedented number of kittens and puppies, many have needed extensive treatment due to poor health and general vaccination needs contributing to this mounting vet bill. The local vet and the more specialised centre in Sarajevo are very good with limited resources and often wait a long time for payment (they charge a reasonable fee but also have expenses themselves).
Through Crowdfunder, we hope to reach a wider audience to raise the profile of the amazing work our volunteers do and the never-ending plight to ensure all the cats and kittens in our care can be afforded the treatment they need and deserve.
With your donation, we can clear our vet bills and continue to rescue stray kittens and puppies and support pregnant stray mums. Thank you.
