IT’S SUPER COLD, BUT THE CATS WILL BE WARM

Harmony Fund is again responding to a heating crisis in Serbia where 125 cats are counting on us to keep them warm within the safety of the Felix Cat Sanctuary.

“We ran out of gas and central heating stopped working around 12 days ago, while Serbia was in the grips of its worst cold snap in a long time, with polar nighttime temperatures lower that 20C below zero and daytime temperatures of 10C below zero,” the sanctuary’s caretaker Jasna explained. “After several days of freezing, as the electric heaters weren�t able to warm up neither the cats� rooms, nor the room I sleep in, a friend of mine managed to borrow 400 euros and somehow persuaded the gas company to sell her as much gas for central heating as she could pay for. Right now the central heating is on again, but unfortunately the amount of gas that was purchased wouldn�t last long”.

“We haven�t had a big snow storm here yet, but everything is frozen, the ground is covered in ice and it�s extremely slippery. All of the cats have grown thick winter fur since the end of autumn and they�re hanging on for now, youngsters are taking a stroll through the yard every day, while the geriatric kitties prefer to stay in their rooms where it�s pleasantly warm again”

Fuel has been delivered and should last for most of the winter with perhaps one final delivery needed in March. Meanwhile, the sanctuary has other urgent costs for food, litter and vaccines.

Animal Rescue Chase

The Great Animal Rescue Chase celebrates the art of animal rescue with a worldwide race to rescue one million. It’s a free event, open to all, and is perhaps the only global animal rescue event aimed at helping any animal in distress, anywhere in the world. Our ambition is to create a culture of enthusiasm and pride in animal activism. We believe in teaching, by example, that there is a hero in each of us just waiting to be unleashed. Empowered animal lovers can not only save lives, but build the momentum for powerful animal welfare reform.
