Volunteers and organizations in Montenegro in need of help
You can help stray animals in many different ways.
If interacting with wounded dogs or abandoned kittens directly is emotionally difficult for you, you still can help by providing financial and/or informational support to animal welfare volunteers. The most prominent ones are in this list.
Very often, volunteers are looking for a car to transport a cat or a dog to the clinic, some rare medication, a foster family, or pet goods (carriers, litter boxes, pet food, old towels, and linen). Items you do not need anymore can be very useful for a street fluffy.
Zhanna Kaganovskaya
Zhanna is a founder of the private shelter "Faithful Heart" in Danilovgrad. Thanks to her, hundreds of sick animals were taken from the streets, cured, and then handed over to new loving owners.
Besides, she helps volunteers across the country providing advice, goods, and medications for free. She also administrates the "Living Montenegro" Facebook community: https://www.facebook.com/share/oskW8BTiw1f6HUGp/?mibextid=K35XfP.
Nelly Lozinsky
Nelly is a volunteer from Budva who is in charge of 200 cats. This is not a typo, it's not two or twenty, it's two hundred!
Nelly cures and sterilizes stray animals most responsibly, including doing preliminary tests and a quarantine when needed. Please visit her Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/nelly.lozinsky.9 and see the happy cats who moved from dangerous streets to loving homes in Europe!
You can support Nelly and her pets with a PayPal transfer to nellylozinsky910@gmail.com or leave cash at the VetMedica clinic in Budva with a comment "for Nelly".
Kotor Kitties
Kotor Kitties is a charity organization that does both stray and home cat spaying in Montenegro free of charge. Besides, the organization popularizes and promotes pet neutering and adoption.
Alisa Popovic
Alisa Popovic is the eldest volunteer in Budva who helped hundreds of cats along the coast! Most of the sterilized cats in Becici, Rafailovici, and Kamenovo are the result of her work. Alisa feeds the animals every day - early in the morning and late in the evening, before and after she goes to her day job. Since Alisa is looking after cats on quite a vast territory, she is a regular visitor of local vet clinics - she brings animals whom she found in critical health conditions after an encounter with a dog or a car accident, ensures they are operated on, and takes care of them after the treatment.
She has eight cats of her own (!), two of which are suffering from Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). Also, more than ten cats at her place are looking to be adopted.
