We are a global NGO fighting animal cruelty. 🌎 🐕
🚨🆘 We need YOUR support! Follow to help us save animal lives.

Network For Animals
We have great news from our partner, The Korina, i We have great news from our partner, The Korina, in Montenegro.

After four years of continuous lobbying, The Korina and campaigners, a criminologist, and a lawyer have successfully enforced laws and criminal sanctions for cruelty towards animals in Montenegro.

On December 11th, 2023, the new parliament of Montenegro passed groundbreaking amendments to the Criminal Code, which significantly broadened the scope of animal protection laws and increased penalties for animal abuse and habitat destruction.

For the first time, organizing, aiding, abetting, promoting, attending, and profiting from animal fights is now a criminal offense, and those found guilty could face imprisonment.

NFA is a major funder of Korina, and it is only your continued support that helps us to fund organizations like this, which work in the background to save animals every day

THE THREAT OF IMPRISONMENT FOR ORGANISING ANIMAL FIGHTS AND FOR ANIMAL ABUSE IS NOW A REALITY IN MONTENEGRO!

We are committed to continuing the fight for animal justice, and we thank you for making this possible.

Through our Gloria's Little Act of Kindness (GLAoK Through our Gloria's Little Act of Kindness (GLAoK) program, you have supported the Kalymnos Cat Project in Greece!

The Kalymnos Cat Project is dedicated to feeding and sterilizing unwanted cats. The support from kind-hearted people has enabled their team of volunteers on the island of Kalymnos in Greece to continue making a remarkable impact on the lives of street cats. 

In just over two years since the project began in August 2021, over 1,600 cats have been compassionately neutered.

Twenty-one cats from a large street cat colony were sterilized through our recent donation. 

Your kindness and generosity genuinely transform these animals' lives, creating a brighter future for the community and fostering a compassionate world for all living beings. 

Together, we are making a positive impact, one paw at a time!

With limited access to food and medicine, they desperately need your help. Your support can be a lifeline for these equines during these challenging times.

Once in a haven, the animals get immediate medical attention, and those who have suffered severe trauma or injuries will receive rehabilitation.

In many Balkan countries, rescue missions that sta In many Balkan countries, rescue missions that start with the best intentions often turn slowly into horror stories as rescuers take in more desperate animals they cannot afford to care for because there is no alternative.

The Zarkovica shelter in Dubrovnik, initially established with good intentions, became an unsuitable place for abandoned dogs over the years. 

We at Network for Animals (NFA) worked to address the situation for seven years, lobbying city officials for a new shelter. 

Unfortunately, before construction could begin, the Croatian veterinary inspectorate condemned the Zarkovica shelter in May. 

NFA and partners from Animal Friends Croatia ensured that all 260 dogs would find suitable care. Due to our supporters' continuous support, the team cataloged each dog, provided emergency medical treatment, and funded transportation to new forever homes and temporary foster homes.

Every supporter who donated to this cause can celebrate and sleep easy now!

The challenging situation in the Israel-Gaza regio The challenging situation in the Israel-Gaza region continues…

As the Israel-Gaza conflict goes on, animals, particularly donkeys, and horses, are facing significant hardships in the conflict zone of the Gaza region.

Our teams are dedicated to rescuing, feeding, and sheltering these vulnerable creatures, risking their safety to provide much-needed assistance. Your support is crucial to sustaining this life-saving effort.

The impact on equines is severe – malnourished, injured, traumatized, and struggling to survive. Many are facing starvation due to limited access to food and medicine across the border. 

Your support can make a difference! With your help, we've already rescued and cared for approximately 100 animals, offering them sanctuary amid the chaos of conflict.

If we reach our goal of $10,000 (£7,870), we can execute three emergency rescue missions and save more lives. Support our efforts to help animals affected by conflict – donate generously to Network for Animals by clicking the link in our bio today! 

Together, we can provide hope, safety, and comfort to countless equines in their time of need.

AMAZING NEWS! Thanks to your compassion for cats, AMAZING NEWS! Thanks to your compassion for cats, we have achieved something truly remarkable in Lamu East, Kenya.

Recently, we told you about a heartbreaking situation for cats on the streets of Lamu East in Kenya. The region is teeming with sickly felines plagued by starvation, disease, and death. Nevertheless, your donations have made a real difference, helping us sterilize 776 cats!
