How Many Stray Animals Will Survive This Winter?

How Many Stray Animals Will Survive This Winter?

As the cold winds of winter sweep through our streets, thousands of stray cats and dogs shiver in the dark, hungry and alone.
No warm shelter. No steady food. No one to care for them.Among them was Mittens, a tiny kitten found huddled under a broken cardboard box.
Her fur was soaked, frost forming on her tiny ears, and her body was shaking from the cold.
Without help, she would have frozen to death that night.
Thanks to a small rescue shelter, volunteers wrapped her in blankets, fed her warm milk, and treated her frostbite. Today, she is healthy, playful, and safe—but hundreds more are still out there, suffering.

Winter is deadly for strays.

Millions of stray cats and dogs wander the streets of Europe and North America.

Many shelters struggle to survive, with limited food, no heating, and few resources.

Without immediate intervention, countless animals will starve, freeze, or fall ill before spring.

How We Are Helping

Small rescue shelters are working tirelessly to save lives:

Warm Shelters: Insulated outdoor shelters protect cats and dogs from freezing temperatures.

Spay/Neuter & Vaccinations: Clinics reduce overpopulation and prevent disease.

Emergency Medical Care: Treating frostbite, infections, injuries, and chronic illnesses.Every small act of support can mean survival:

$100 = warm bedding for 20 senior or disabled cats and dogs
