How to help stray animals in Montenegro?
Thank you for being a caring human being and looking for a way to help animals in trouble! It is often believed that the best way is to adopt a stray or a rescued animal. However, there is no such thing as too little help!

Of course, if you are looking for a pet to fall in love with and adopt and care about it dearly, you are welcome to our Tinder in Telegram aka CG Stray animal volunteers chat https://t.me/cg_stray/6 :).

But even if you are not ready for this type of commitment towards an animal just yet, you can also help by:

✅ Giving a lift
Animal volunteers and the animals they look after are always in need of transportation to/ from the veterinary clinics and foster families. If you have a car and some free time, offer your help in this section of CG Stray animal volunteers chat https://t.me/cg_stray/5 (writing in English is fine!).




✅ Vet medications and anti-parasite treatments
As the stray gang is large and demanding, it’s absolutely impossible for animal volunteers to treat them all regularly with anti-parasite medication and dewormers at their own expense.
Some animals are sick/hurting and therefore need more than that - a major therapy with specific drugs (antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, etc). Some medications are pretty expensive in Montenegro, others not available here at all. You are more than welcome to share if you have spare pet medication, new or open but having a good shelf life: https://t.me/cg_stray/1073


✅ Making photos
If you are a pro or a talented amateur, and you have some time to spare, please help volunteers to create a great photo portfolio for the stray animals they look after. Good photos mean a lot. Not all of us are talented in this area, not all the volunteers have enough time or appropriate camera on their phone. If you can help with photos, you will surely give animals a so much better chance for adoption! Just offer your help here: https://t.me/cg_stray/166


✅ Sharing information
Feeling excited to write and post on social media about animals ready for adoption? Offer assistance here https://t.me/cg_stray/166. Please note that you don't necessarily need to be in Montenegro for this kind of help! Posting can be done literally from anywhere!

Ready to tell your friends, family and co-workers about the Kotor Kitties foundation? Do not think twice, SHARE! https://kotorkitties.org/ Sterilization is the most humane way to control the number of stray animals.


✅ Fostering/providing temporary home
It is very much needed while animal volunteers are looking for a permanent home for them, or if an animal is recovering after sterilization or medical treatment.
No matter how long you plan to stay in Montenegro, if you can provide a temporary shelter to a stray kitten/cat/puppy/dog - thank you! It can be a flat, studio, house, garage or terrasse. Often it's not the size of the place that matters (it never does, to be honest) - it's the fact that an animal can be safe from the dangers of the street and spend some time in the caring environment. Please offer your help here: https://t.me/cg_stray/2


✅ Money, money, money….
You can help to finance the treatment of any sick animal in this chat topic here: https://t.me/cg_stray/204.
You can donate any amount to any of the local volunteers on this list.
And of course, you can donate to the fantastic Kotor Kitties foundation to help the sterilisation and neutering program here https://kotorkitties.org/ru/donation-links/


✅ Bringing the stray animal you found to a veterinary clinic
In this article here we've explained that the situation with stray animals in Montenegro is rather critical, and cats and dogs on the street outnumber the volunteers by far. There is no Superman or Wonderwoman to call if you've met an animal who is clearly suffering.
Don't wait for any help, please. Arrange for bringing the animal to the clinic as soon as possible. Sometimes you only need to make the first move - and others will be glad to join you to ensure a “happy ever after” for a little kitten or a sick dog.

Check out the veterinary clinics list, and information on the most recommended vets in Montenegro.
