The few still functioning animal shelters in Ukraine are not only confronted with a huge number of animals in need of help, they are also at the limit of their financial resources. As a result of the inflation caused by the war, prices in the country are constantly rising. This particularly affects the food for the animals, energy and veterinary costs and, of course, the wages of the staff. Donations are no longer available in the war-torn country itself. The animal shelters in Kiev and Lviv can only survive with financial help from abroad. The Ingeborg Brudermann Foundation wants to ensure this help for as long as it is needed.
