Another year at Cat Shelter Felix is quickly coming to an end. We’ve had bad days, worse days, sad days, good days and the best days…
We’ve learned some lessons, especially regarding certain people we thought we could trust, unexpected failures, empty words and broken promises. But we’ve also been blessed with many old and new magnificent friends who were by our side through thick and thin. Katrina Fillo is one of them, and thanks to her, the efforts she’s made and everyone who has decided to step in and take part in her auction, our kitties will receive the first portion of heating gas, so there will be no more freezing time for a while. Thank you all so much! And a special thank you to Katrina, the kind person who lives on the other side of the globe and who still found a place in her heart for our furry residents. No words can express how grateful we are.
The same goes to our friends who have shared our sorrows and joys over all of these years and who always think about our kitties, no matter what. Everything we are able to do is a mutual effort, because none of this would be possible without support from all of you.
We’ve started this year with a little over 100 cats, and we’ll end this year with 150 of them, more or less. We’ve lost some of them, but they will never be forgotten and we already miss them dearly. Willow, Milton, Venus, Serena, Alethe, Frca, Tufnica, Augusta, Ziggy, Zack, to name just a few, are no longer with us and recently two of our seniors have passed away peacefully due to their old age, Okac and Trecac. Every loss is difficult and we’ll never get used to saying the last goodbye to our companions we have loved so much.
We were also able to help and save dozens of new furry fighters: Srna, Tessa, Ebony, Argos, Jack, Finn, Hailey, Sheena, Orin, brave mom Raena and her five babies, plus one orphaned little one, the four cats who lost their owner and their home, and many, many more. We’ve also managed to get our outside chained link fencing replaced with a new and better one, so our kitties are safe from any harm and can no longer escape.
And although we don’t feel like we’re just running in place anymore, we’re still far from our goal. There are still veterinary debts that need to be paid off since our kitties get ill all the time due to this cold weather. We also need to pay out our debts for wet canned food and get new quantities of food soon, because we’re almost out of it and the holidays are approaching soon… Yes, we’re scared if we’ll be able to provide all of our residents with food. Their annual vaccine shots against rabies are mandatory and obligatory but we’re not even close to getting this done and we have only three weeks more left.
So please, if you think that every living being on this planet deserves the same amount of love, care and nurture, help us keep our residents happy and safe. They are not asking for any kind of luxury, we only need to fulfill their most basic needs.
Every donations counts, as there is no such thing as a small contribution.
Please help them to get through yet another winter or at least be at peace during the upcoming holiday season. Let them learn they’re not just cats, unimportant and replaceable. Show them they’re unique and priceless. Make them finally know they count to someone.

Just hours ago, the ground team from Animals Asia visited the farm and took these upsetting pictures:
Likely captured from the wild as innocent cubs, for more than 12 years they have used as machines and treated as disposable objects. These sweet, gentle moon bears have had half their lives have stolen already.
It is the season of goodwill – please give anything you can to help support the recue of these 6 bears by AA; who have promised now to undertake a full rescue of all animals.

We’ve just received an urgent call about six moon bears in desperate need of rescue from a bear bile farm in Vietnam.
We don’t have any pictures of the poor bears, but when we went to the farm in 2011 on another rescue mission, the scenes we were met with would have broken your heart…
Bears missing limbs, and with deep wounds, pacing manically backwards and forwards in their tiny cages. Or else lying on the bars of their cages, broken and defeated after years of confinement and abuse.
We have to get these six desperate moon bears out of this place.
We know precious little about bears, they don’t even have names. All we know is that they are three girls, and three boys. And that right now, they have nobody.
They’ve been suffering for many years in this hellhole. Repeatedly stabbed with a four-inch needle to harvest their gallbladder bile. And that the farmer has agreed to hand them over, they could be in very poor condition, or suffering with serious disease.

PS These six abused bears deserve so much better! A gift from you today could help send emergency rescue teams to the sides of these suffering bears. Please send help.
PPS ‘Like’ our Facebook page.for updates about these desperate moon bears. With your help we will do everything we can to bring them home. Thank you in advance.
Any funds raised beyond the cost of the rescue, quarantine and vet care will be used to care for all the bears living in our sanctuaries.

Our dear friend Katrina Fillo has organized a USA based auction in order to help CSF kitties –
Thank you so much, Katrina!
Please take a look at these lovely items, perhaps you’ll find something you like.
And share with your friends and family, perhaps they’ll find something too.
Love to all and thank you for caring about our kitties.

DOGS LOOKING FOR ‘FOREVER’ HOMES
Click here to see all the dogs looking for adoption and new forever homes:
See the many videos below to see the horrendous conditions in which many of the dogs were kept before they were rescued. You may find many of the videos disturbing, but this is the reality of the dog meat trade. Everything done on the cheap by those who really do not give a damn about the suffering they cause to animals. The only good thing to remember is that despite what is shown in the following videos; the situation for all ha moved on and all the dogs kept in thee hell holes have now been rescued and are up for adoption, you can see in the adoption link which we provide directly above.
