These are tales of immense bravery, resourcefulness, and deep compassion found amid the devastation of war.
Nowzad is very proud to support this essential work too — helping these dedicated soldiers get the aid they need to rescue, transport, and care for the animals they save.
The Avdiivka Miracle
In the devastated city of Avdiivka - the crucial gateway to the nearby provincial capital of Donetsk that has seen one of the bloodiest and fiercest battles of the war to-date - a soldier discovered a heavily pregnant cat in the ruins a few months ago now. The soldiers helped her deliver her kittens, but a few days later, tragedy struck: shelling killed the mother cat.
Refusing to abandon the three tiny orphans, the soldier and his squadron searched the debris and made an incredible discovery: a can of baby formula, which they used to hand-feed the kittens under constant fire.
Today, these little survivors have grown up, were sterilised thanks to help in Izyum – just like the TNVR project that Nowzad completed there in September - and have now found their happy forever homes in Germany.
A true testament to the compassion of Ukraine’s soldiers and to our incredible supporters around the world, too.
