In these horrific days of war, no one is to be forgotten and this association of volunteers does exactly that, releasing the cats left in homes in and around the capital that have been abandoned by people fleeing or dying during military attacks.
In the most atrocious difficulties, no one should be left behind and in fact, while the international organizations detach by welcoming refugee families and their animals at the borders, there are still many, many volunteers on site in Ukraine who help the civilians and animals left in the country. .
There is in particular one association, the Zoopatrulkyiv, whose volunteers is risking their lives to save cats who have been stranded in uninhabited homes in the surroundings of the Ukrainian capital.
Accompanied by armed men ready to defend their compatriots in the event of an attack, the volunteers "break into" what were once houses to rescue the animals, feed them and then trying to reach their families to make them reunite. A risky operation, by no means easy and rather lengthy, but which does not stop even with the sirens ringing.

Often these are armored doors, in other cases holes in the walls or often doors that have already been forced perhaps by some jackal who, taking advantage of the tragedy, will have sneaked into the house to rob it. In fact, in this video the volunteers help a cat who has remained in the house for 10 days in which someone has already visited, regardless of the poor animal.

Zoopatrulkyiv shares on social networks all the updates on the recovered animals, their state of health, hoping that their owner can recognize the animal and get in touch.
