Please share and help if you can!
Life hasn’t been kind or easy for this lovely kitty girl so far.
She probably had an owner once, as she’s much too docile and loving for a fully-grown stray, but she somehow ended up on the street and ultimately under the wheels of a car.
Her pelvis is broken, her lower vertebrae are out of place and she was just lying still when she was brought to the shelter, although she was able to hold onto her hind legs a little. She also had a huge hematoma in her bladder and had been peeing blood for days.
Chances are that her broken bones will be allowed to heal spontaneously, but it’s also possible she’ll need surgery – we’ll know more after another vet exam, scheduled for the end of the week. In the meantime, she is resting in her cage, surrounded by her new kitty friends.
We need a lot of help to provide her with everything she’ll need during her lengthy recovery, like high quality food, vitamin supplements and diapers, to name just a few.
After all she’s been through, it’s about time her life takes a turn for the better, don’t you think?

Sorry we haven’t been posting much lately, (although we wish we could), we’ve had many problems over the last few months.
We’d really like to thank all of our wonderful and caring friends who are helping us, even if we don’t have enough time to regularly ask for the help which is always needed and more than welcome.
Our urgent appeal for the funds required to feed the kitties and pay off the vet bills was launched in mid-April, but we’re still more than $800 short.
Please share and help if you possibly can, every little bit counts!
All of the kitties in the shelter are safe and loved for life, but they do need help.

Please check out all the posts and appeals on SAV Facebook:
Here is just one typical story;
Eli was kept in a city pound on a very short chain – The chain was so short that she couldn’t reach the dog house.
She was rescued, taken to safety and to the vet for a full assessment. It took her some time to recover, but NOW she is a happy and healthy girl. Under the loving care of volunteers, Eli has blossomed in a true golden retriever beauty and she is as lovable as a Goldens can be.
This is what Eli has to say:
” Hi my name is Eli, I’m here with my friends and it is so safe and nice. They are so kind and loving. They say that I am the kindest, most gentle and loving girl EVER!!!
That I am a perfect dog for the perfect family….
Life is beautiful and I love every minute of it.
I love people, other dogs, children, everyone!.
They say that I am pretty close to perfect!“……..
Eli is spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, she has passport – just in case ….
We are looking for a loving home, where Eli is going to be loved forever and ever . Please SHARE

And a link to shelter Alex Subotica;
The shelter was opened on 28/01/2003 during the time when Subotica legally permitted euthanasia of dogs and on Fridays people could bring their dogs to be euthanized for free.
This is the first no-kill shelter in Serbia.
The shelter covers the area of 12000m2 + an additional land next to the shelter (approx. 3600 m2) that still isn’t fenced nor used.
Currently in the shelter there are more than 500 dogs.
Around 70% of the dogs are old (some have been in the shelter since 2003/2004).
There are only 2-4 people taking care of the shelter and its dogs.
The shelter is funded exclusively by donations, which are not regular or reliable.
The shelter requires building materials, cleaning supplies, food (granules and canned food, salami, bread, etc), blankets, fleas/ticks products and money to cover the vet costs, bills, etc.

THIS IS VERY EARLY NEWS THAT WE ARE GETTING THROUGH – UNCONFIRMED BUT WE ARE WORKING TO GET MORE INFORMATION. WE HAVE JUST HEARD THAT THE SERBIAN AUTHORITIES WERE VERY SUPRISED BECAUSE ALL THE ANIMAL WELFARE NGO’S WORKED TOGETHER AND MADE VERY STRONG CASE. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION AT PRESENT; BUT FROM OUR 10 YEARS PAST EXPERIENCE; THE GOVERNMENT HAVE NEVER LISTENED TO OUR SUGGESTIONS TO DATE, SO WHY WOULD THEY NOW ?
– WE WILL GIVE MORE NEWS WHEN WE HAVE IT.
Latest news in from another source: 2050hrs GMT 12/5/15.
I can say that it seems to me after reading the feedback from the associations present at the joint meeting on Monday, that the ministry has finally seen united voice from all animal protection associations and few NVOs present. This came as a surprise to them and the fact that all present were very knowledgeable of the law and situation in general and what doesn’t work, how to correct it…
We shall see what happens next.
Disappointed to hear that there is not much support from the enlargement commissioner!
Mark please tell your members that not all is lost that we had a very positive feedback so far!
Kind regards
Vesna

We have just had the following information sent to use via our ‘Contact’ route.
Everything you read here; including the link is what we have been given. We will now have to decide what route we are going to take – it may be to pull away from ALL Serbian animal activities because no matter what you do and what info and links you supply; people who should be demanding change; such as the EU Enlargement Commission; appear to be doing very little to enforce Serbia to clean up its act with regard corruption and the rules of law as set down by the Constitution.
So you have to ask yourself; if you cannot rely on the ‘important’ people at the EU, then what is the point of doing anything ? – the EU is utterly useless in most EU citizens eyes; and this situation is yet another issue which supports this. The EU Enlargement Commission can never bother to contact us about anything; yet they spend OUR money propping up a corrupt government within Serbia !

Message: We, animal lovers and supporters of animals in Serbia want to inform whole world that, regardless all complaints of animal welfare, in spite of all emails, in spite of all fake meetings government
arranged, where animal welfare suggestions were refused, in spite of everything, against The Consitution, Government of Serbia will introduce Kill policy in shelters, fur farms in the country, barbaric treatment of all animals, which will support corruption.
Animal welfare in Serbia won’t exist any more.
It will be dead letter on the paper.

However, we understand from Slavica that there will be a consultative meeting with the government (maybe animal welfare groups ?) on 11/5/15 regarding the draft proposals they have put forward for the new law regarding stray animals welfare. Slavica informs us that she already has very big fears for what the government may try and do – and we would agree with this.
Slavica may attend Belgrade on the 11th May.
Only after this date will we have further info on how things are progressing.
