Kormotech’s Save Pets of Ukraine initiative has released a charity book about saving animals and their loving people from war. All proceeds will be used to help the four-legged friends
Two women who managed to take 47 cats from Kyiv to Germany at the beginning of the full-scale invasion. The military and dogs are “at zero”. A couple who rescued pets from locked abandoned apartments. A lady with more than 60 dogs. Cats who warmed and calmed their people in the most disturbing moments. A girl who started sleeping better thanks to her dog. These are just a few of the characters in the book Saving Pets (and People) in Ukraine, published by the team of the social initiative Save Pets of Ukraine. This is a collection of inspiring stories with happy endings about cats, dogs, their owners and volunteers who were forced to evacuate from the war and supported each other. And also about the people who take care of a large number of four-legged animals on a daily basis. These are stories about how people save animals, and they save their caring people in return.
The book aims to draw attention to stray animals in Ukraine, which have become much more numerous over the past year. According to the study, this number has increased by 20-30% in the rear regions and by 100% or more in shelters in the frontline regions. Thus, 25,799 dogs and 19,473 cats are under the care of shelters and volunteers. The study was conducted by the Ukrainian public opinion research center SociOinform at the request of Kormotech, Ukraine’s largest manufacturer of cat and dog food, which founded the national initiative Save Pets of Ukraine in 2022.
The book also presents stories of four-legged adoption, which may serve as an example for readers. After all, adopting stray animals into families is the best and most humane way to reduce the number of tails in shelters and on the streets. Thus, a few weeks before the book’s release, when the editor of one of the national TV channels learned about it, he signed up for an interview to take a cat into his family.
All proceeds from the sale of Saving Pets (and People) in Ukraine will be used to help dog and cat shelters.
