Excellent news from Danica at Shelter felix – as you can see from the pictures below the new gas has been supplied and the shelter is now up and running at full warmth – with nice warm kitties !!.
We join with Danica and the cats in thanking everyone who has donated to get the new tank of gas and for helping to keep all the kitties warm.
So thank you for giving – SAV.

28/1/16:
Dear friends,
We’re overjoyed to announce that gas has finally arrived!
Our central heating has already kicked into high gear and most of the kitties are quickly occupying their usual sleeping places on top of the radiators 🙂
Those who prefer to stay in their warm and cozy cat beds change their positions from all curled up to stretched out or bent over backwards, although the very best of friends still prefer to snuggle together in their sleep.
Now that the cats’ rooms and the house are warm it can snow all it wants, we just don’t care!

There are no words to describe our most profound thanks and appreciation to all of you for your help!
A simple thank you is not enough for all that amazing Laura Simpson, her awesome organization The Great Animal Rescue Chase & Harmony Fund and each one of you have given us.
All we can say is that we’re blessed to have such caring, thoughtful and wonderful friends 🙂
You’re the best!

Dear Mark,
On behalf of everyone at Soi Dog, I would like to wish you a Happy New Year and thank you for all the help you have given to dogs and cats in need. Only because of you, can these sick and injured animals get the care they need and deserve and a second chance at a happy life.
I’d like to take a moment and share with you the inspiring stories of Aquila and Finch, just 2 of the many dogs you have saved, as well as an update on the progress of the new life-saving dog hospital and a sweet cat looking for a loving home.
I’d like to share with you the story of a little girl called Aquila and the difference you have made in her life. If you ever doubt that a small monthly gift from you can achieve anything, please read on.
Aquila arrived at our shelter fighting for her life. Just a few weeks old, she was suffering from an extreme case of mange. Tiny and weak, she struggled to eat. All her fur had fallen out, apart from a few sparse tufts on her back. She was scared and confused – and all alone in the world.
Thanks to you, Aquila was able to receive the treatment she so desperately needed and has now blossomed into a friendly, affectionate and playful pup. It is such a stark contrast to the frightened and miserable puppy who first came to the Soi Dog shelter and who had appeared to have given up on life.
When dogs like Aquila arrive at our shelter, they are completely reliant on YOU. Without your support, there is nobody else we can turn to on their behalf. Will you please click here to save more animals like her?
At just 3 years of age, Finch was hit by a speeding car, sustaining such serious injuries to both his eyes that he lost his sight. Having grown up on the streets, never knowing a loving touch or a kind word, this beautiful boy really had a tough life. It is only thanks to people like you that he didn’t lose his life.

Finch was in agony when he arrived at our shelter. So severe was the damage to his eyes that both had to be removed. Tests also revealed that he was suffering from blood parasites and heartworm, requiring urgent treatment.
Finch recovered well from his surgery and, despite all he went through, is a friendly, affectionate dog, who loves nothing more than to have a few cuddles and give kisses in return.
Finch’s lucky day came recently, when he left the Soi Dog shelter for his new home in Canada, where he has settled in well. Finch will never have to struggle to survive again and now knows love like he has never known before.
If you think you may have room in your home and your heart for a rescued dog or cat just like Finch, please click here.
Thanks to compassionate animal lovers, work continues on Thailand’s first ever dedicated hospital for street dogs.
With the extensive tiling work now being 85% complete, we have just taken delivery of some specialist equipment funded by people like you. The air-conditioning units and ultra-violet equipment to prevent the spread of disease is now being installed and the ceiling boards are being fitted. The hospital has passed its first electrical test and there now remains just the ceiling lights and power sockets to add. Construction has also just started on a waste treatment plant.
This life-saving hospital for dogs has come so far thanks to people like you becoming Angels for Dogs. Will you please join us on our final push to save the lives of thousands of sick or injured street dogs every year?
Rej was dumped at the gate of the Soi Dog shelter as a kitten and one year later he is still waiting for a home of his own. He has seen so many other kittens and cats find new homes, so he must be wondering why he is being overlooked.
Rej is FeLV+ (feline leukaemia positive), meaning he can only be adopted to a home that has no other cats or with cats that are also FeLV+.
Rej is a real sweetheart. He is very friendly and playful and can often be found playing with his toys or playing hide and seek with you. What he loves most though is cuddles, and he would love nothing more than to have that special someone to snuggle up with.
Gorgeous Rej really does deserves better than a life in a shelter. He can easily be adopted to Thailand, the US, Canada or Europe and our Adoptions Team will organise every step of the process for you. He also has half of his travel costs already covered!
Please give Rej the chance he deserves. Please email all questions to teresa@soidog.org or click here for more information.
Without you, these dogs and cats would have no one to turn to. I cannot thank you enough for all your kindness and compassion towards animals in need. Thank you for all your support and I know together in 2016, we will save thousands more lives.
John Dalley
Co-Founder
Soi Dog Foundation

SAV Comment – we knew that we would do it !
Special thanks to everyone who helped with this campaign – and a mention to my friends Clare and David here in Kent, England, who have run Kingsdown Cat Sanctuary since it was founded in 1993. Please take a look at some of the cats currently needing UK homes at http://www.kingsdowncatsanctuary.org/cats.php and visit the sanctuary site at http://www.kingsdowncatsanctuary.org/index.php – Mark.

The following message is from Danica at Felix Shelter, Serbia:
All Funds Raised!

Dear friends, We are delighted to inform you that we’re finally able to pay for a new tank of gas which was ordered yesterday!
Thanks to your outstanding support, all of the Felix kitties will have the proper heating over the next two and a half months 🙂
We can hardly find the words to express our most sincere gratitude to the amazing Laura Simpson and her wonderful organization The Great Animal Rescue Chase and Harmony Fund who stepped in again in the very nick of time!
We would also like to thank each and every one of you who found it in your hearts to help us provide our furry little fighters with everything they need!

We are almost ashamed to ask for help over and over again, but with so many helpless creatures which depend on us for food, medical care and a home, we have no other choice and we just can’t do it all on our own.
Dozens of the Felix kitties are either above 15 years old, chronically ill, or generally in delicate health and they’re simply not able to withstand the cold; desperate times call for desperate measures.
May the kindness you’ve so generously bestowed on us come back to you all a thousand-fold!
Thank You again – Danica and the kitties.

————————————
Finally;
Please try and support this very worthwhile campaign if you can please – URGENT !

19/1/16:
Please share and help if you can!
Well, that’s it.
Our gas tank is bone dry empty and the electric heaters have been turned on in all of the cats’ rooms and inside the house as well.
The current cold snap will continue for at least a week, possibly more, with outside temperatures dropping as low as 10 degrees below zero. The electric heaters simply can’t warm up the indoor space sufficiently while we’re gripped by this big freeze.
The cats are already huddling together attempting to stay warm in these frosty, icy nights; nonetheless, the elderly kitties which lack the body fat are having a hard time coping with the cold.
This is our last ditch, a desperate appeal for help to fill the gas tank while the oldest of the Felix cats are still holding on!
Otherwise this winter will be a very sad and heartbreaking one, as we can do absolutely nothing else but powerlessly look at our golden oldies, wondering which one of them will give up first 😦 We’ve had several appeals on and put in requests for help, but the donations are still trickling in.

Please, this is an emergency!
Please Help – Thank You.

The Story
We are 4 women from Novi Sad (Serbia) and we try to help abandoned dogs.
In this moment we take care about 28 dogs and several cats and rabbits.
We urgently have to do regular vaccination of all our dogs because their vaccines stand out, and they are close proximity to the dogs who are suffering from distemper.
Some dogs already vaccinated, and we owe to our vet, and the other will be able to vaccinate when we pay.
Please help us to protect them.
To donate, please go to:
More about our animals and me you can find here:
Thank you for your support – from all the dogs !

Not only that we have ( for now) 4 dogs with distemper , not only that inspection came and not only that we have no more food , something else happened . My computer exploded today. Why i do not know but that mean that I can not share youcaring . No shares – no donations . No donations – dogs will die without food and threatman .
So please SHARE youcaring for distemper . Please , that will not cost you anything and for dogs it is everything .
Please!

You should have told me the white stuff was cold and wet !

As you can see from the photos; things have definitely got colder now.
The shelter is down to its last week of gas to keep the cats warm.
No, we wont get down !

Some cats just love too climb, whatever the weather !

Please give anything that you can – things are now colder and the cats need to be kept warm; especially as some of them are old and frail.
Thank you.
Did someone mention the magic of Winter !

Direct donations if you do not want to see the post mentioned above
Last years’ fuel held up longer than usual, but now the tank’s running low. Please, help to keep the kitties warm!
We Can’t stand being inside all day !
