The adventures of the small cat in the big world.

One of the sweetest and purring kittens came to us with a pelvis fracture.

It is not an injury by a car. Most likely – it is by an injury by someone’s foot. We are not sure, so better not discuss it.

Sony had an emergency operation – young animals heal so fast, that there isn’t any time for doubts.

He doesn’t see the cars coming, because he is blind.
He doesn’t hear the horns of the angry drivers, because he is deaf.

He is not at home. He is on a main road, minutes away from being hit and killed.

There is a chain around his neck. A memory from the time when he wasn’t blind and deaf and had a home.

It hurts to imagine the fear and the terror, when he realized he is no longer at home, but at a place unknown and scary. A place he couldn’t even see or hear.

It hurts to imagine, how confused he was, wondering why isn’t he at home and what did he do wrong…

We don’t know the reason Pancho lost his sight and hearing. To find it out, we need to make a lot of test and examinations – most of them, really expensive (for example – the nuclear magnetic resonance alone, costs 350 BGN and it is not at all the only thing we must do).

We won’t lie to you. Most probably, even when we have a diagnosis, we won’t be able to reverse his condition.

But there is a spark of hope. A tiny chance for disease we can heal.

Pancho’s world is scary, without his senses.

Our world is empty, without hope.

Dear friends,

We would be extremely grateful, if you make a donation for Pancho.
Without promises, without expectations of miracle.

With only hope.

Lorena. Homeless. Hopeless. But power and courage? She has plenty of them!

She was hit by a car and lost all chances of ever walking again. But yet, Lorena continued forward.

She kept on fighting, crawling, keeping her life at all costs.

Lorena is a mother. And a mother cannot give up.

She cannot give up, when four newborns rely on her – to feed them, to warm them.
She cannot give up, when four hearts beat only, because she is still fighting!
Taking Lorena was a hard decision – a hopeless case!
Not taking Lorena was impossible! She may be homeless. But she is not hopeless!

Stay by us, dear friends! For Lorena and for the hope!

Hannes is wonderful! Hannes is young and cuddly, playful and smiling!

Hannes is also abandoned and sick…

More and more dogs in Bulgaria suffer from heartworm. The owners of dogs like Hannes haven’t even heart of this disease and do not take any precautions for their dogs.

And when the hunting dog gets sick, when it starts coughing and becomes too skinny – it is time not to treat it, but to abandon it…

Hannes got lucky. He is with us at “The Farm” and step by step we are leading him to the healthy and happy life.

The treatment for heartworm is very expensive and risky for the dog. It is way cheaper to prevent it – many brands now have medications against it.

Being a responsible pet owner is a question of life and death! Inform yourself and include the prevention for heartworm in your monthly activities.

During the next couple of months, Hannes will be treated for the disease. We will sure stay by him.
Please, stay by us, because only together we help!

Our clinic works for the homeless animals in distress every day of the year and we continue to introduce our patients to you! Because your donations are the only reason we manage to help them!

This young chap is Pero – a small sized dog, who came to us after a meeting with a vehicle.

Pero comes from a small village near Pazardzik – he got really lucky to be found and brought to “The Farm”.

Pero has neurological problem with one of his paws and more examinations and checks will follow. A specialist must let us know, if there is something we can do to make his life better.

For now he just enjoys his warm bed and doesn’t regrets his life choices.

Thousands of dogs like Pero come to our clinic sick or injured and leave next to their new owners healthy and happy!

Thank you!

This small homeless leopard caught our eye, because her painful weakness. We thought that a cat so skinny, is probably sick.

This is how, instead of roaming the streets of Rousse, she ended in “The Farm”.

Unfortunately, we were right – she has kidney failure. She is now under treatment and only eats special food.

It is a pleasure to see, that she already improves.

The girl from Rousse is sweet and cuddly cat. The fact we helped her survive, makes us extremely happy!
Thank you, for being with us! Together we help!

Few days ago, four puppies arrived. They were found outside a village, in the reed. They were severely wounded – bitten by something, bleeding and sick. The blood loss and the parvovirus make their survival very unlikely.

One of the pups died the same evening.

The others are still fighting, along with our vet team.

Side by side by our donors, who make helping dogs like the reed puppies possible.

Sad, but true – despite all our efforts, sometimes the reason for a doggie to end up in the ER, are his roommates in the kennel.

Gunter is with us since he was a tiny little puppy. He was found by German tourists in… wait for it… Macedonia and as they weren’t aware he cannot cross borders just like that, at the end he came to us.

And because he was so tiny and young, he spent long time in the clinic, before he was fully vaccinated and ready to go with the others.

Though, his 4 roommates, although they are his size, attacked him yesterday.

Gunter is fine, just a bit scared, but we will keep him in the clinic for a bit more, because we don’t have other possibilities to place such a peanut.

“The Farm” is overcrowded for months. Dumping puppies in front of our door at night, became a threat for our existence – the lack of space and the overcrowding is not only dangerous in the way Gunter suffered. It also may cause spread of diseases, exhaustion of the staff and lack of funds to cover the expenses of all those animals.

Gunter and many like him need us. To help them, we need your help! You may help us continue, by donating:

Alice in Wonderland? Are you sure?

If a pessimist takes a look at Alice’s life, probably he would say Alice has a very, very bad luck.
She was born in someone’s home, but left with her mother for only 2 weeks!

Then she and her siblings found themselves in a cardbox and thrown away. And among all 9, Alice was the one to somehow break her leg. And because of that, she is the only one, still living in the shelter, after all her siblings were adopted.

The optimist, though, would see something else!

Puppies, taken away from the mother so early and left on the street, had almost zero chance of survival.

Yet, the box with Alice ended up in our shelter and all 9 survived!
Yes, Alice has a broken leg, but she heals so well, soon no one will be able to say it happened!
She may be was left behind to wait for her adopter, but probably this is, because she is waiting for someone really special!

Tell us, isn’t that good luck? Aren’t miracles happening to Alice?

We continue to introduce you our patients with the lovely paralyzed Sara.

Sara was hit by a car and left with fully paralyzed back legs. Yet, she still feels her legs and we hope she could get better after treatment.

This huge and incredibly good creature is the worst case we have had for years now.

A hit by a car leaves her broken. But the broken leg is not the worst.

The head trauma is much scarier – because of this Sirma is deaf and almost blind.

You may be wonder, if it isn’t more mercifully to put her to sleep?

You wouldn’t wonder, if you knew her.
If you have seen her wagging her tale, whenever we go near her.

If you could feel the beating of her heart, every time she cuddles.

Sirma is a dog, who lives to love. Her happiness doesn’t depend on hearing or vision. It depends on feelings. She wants so much to love and to be love!

Sirma is a dog that must be saved!
