We publish veterinary reports and expenses on our page, as well as many of our animal rescue stories. We specialize in cat cases. Street cats in Bulgaria are rapidly increasing and there is no governmental program for reducing their number. For 6 active years, we have rescued, neutered and rehomed over 300 street animals, worked with over 250 volunteers, and conducted numerous public events and initiatives on the topic of animal awareness and education. We have also consulted and advised over 2000 people to not abandon their pets and what to do when they find street animals. We also started an Education program (online and offline) "Dare 2 Change Lives" for giving good examples, better care, and understanding for pets. We reached offline more than 300 kids and grown-ups with information and educational events and training for improving animal welfare in Bulgaria. We regularly publish in social platforms online informative - educational posts about neutering, better pet care and what can be done more to reduce street animals number and improve animal welfare. The main objectives of the Association are: 1. Rescuing, healing, and rehoming street animals. Especially the wounded or abandoned ones which can't survive on their own on the streets. 2. Informing and presenting different opportunities for rescuing animals to the public. 3. Promoting and informing the people of animal rights and animal protection. 4. Organizing charity, informative and adoption events during the year. 5. Providing more care for animals with fewer opportunities and disabilities. Working on their adoption and acceptance in society. 6. Preserving the environment and protecting the animals, promoting the humane treatment of animals on the local and national level. 7. Supporting the compliance with all general moral and ethical norms of the European Union, working on achieving all of its objectives, integrating the different communities by preserving their uniqueness; protecting and promoting global values and cooperation between the different ethnicities and nationalities in the European Union.
