She's One Tough Kitty But Her Fight's Not Over!

Busya was rescued by volunteers in the Ukrainian town of Chasiv Yar. This area has been on the frontlines of the war since Russian forces took the nearby city of Bakhmut about a year ago. In April 2024, officials of Chasiv Yar said as few as 770 residents remain of the towns pre-war population of 13,000 people. 

Like many other pets, when her owners fled their homes she was, sadly, left behind. Busya, who was in a state of high stress and anxiety, was brought to the Patron Pet Center for care. At the center she was diagnosed with feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). This condition is very often, deadly. Thankfully, treatment exists, though it is quite costly. The 84-day course of treatment will cost nearly $2,200. Busya is in the fight for her life and her caretakers have begun calling her their Beautiful Cat Warrior!

Busya is determined to live but she needs our help!

Brave volunteers are risking their lives to save animals left behind on war-torn streets and bring them back to the Patron Pet Center. However, the center is overcrowded and desperately needs more kennels. 

The Animal Rescue Site is partnering with the Patron Pet Center and Greater Good Charities to help build a quarantine room and dedicated space to house over 200 rescued cats until they find a new loving family.  

The Patron Pet Center is a state-of-the-art facility that was designed with pets in mind. Animals that have been traumatized by war are treated both physically and mentally before they are put up for adoption. A veterinarian and architect created the relaxing space to help both dogs and cats recover from everything they've endured.
