A Lifeline to Pokrovsk: Supporting People and Animals in Crisis Thanks to a generous $500 donation in Litecoin from Meowcoin, we delivered lifesaving aid to Natalia, a courageous woman sheltering 50 cats and feeding 23 dogs in her home in the contested frontline city of Pokrovsk, Ukraine. Amid relentless shelling and no access to heating, running water, or food supplies, Natalia’s kindness shines through as she refuses to leave the animals she cares for. With Meowcoin’s incredible support, we sent: - 100 kg of dog food, 150 kg of cat food, and 30 kg of cat litter to Natalia's cat shelter - funded by Meowcoin. - An additional 300 kg of dog food, distributed among Pokrovsk residents caring for their pets and feeding local street animals - funded by our regular K9 Rescue supporters. Since the war began, independent volunteer Yevgeny has braved frontline cities delivering aid donated by kind people and businesses of Odesa region. His latest mission on New Year’s Eve, was to deliver aid to the war-torn city of Pokrovsk. Pokrovsk residents asked Yevgeny if there was a possibility of including animal feed. Yevgeny reached out to us for help - he said he had space for a maximum of 550kg of animal feed, and we acted quickly, purchasing high-quality food to make every kilogram count. BACKSTORY: The frontline city of Pokrovsk faces unimaginable hardship. With all infrastructure bombed, residents live amongst the ruins with no heating, light, or water, and with relentless shelling day after day, survival is a constant battle. Yet many residents stay, unable to abandon their animals. Refugee shelters refuse pets, and emigrating indefinitely feels impossible for most. So, they stay and take their chance with destiny. Food trucks no longer deliver to Pokrovsk after both a meat truck and a bread truck were bombed. Yet, amidst this chaos, people and animals are still holding on, thanks to the courage and compassion of humanitarian individuals like Yevgeny. Yevgeny has risked his life countless times to bring humanitarian aid to Pokrovsk and other frontline cities. His trips are filled with challenges, yet he continues to press on, delivering life-saving supplies donated by farmers and kind-hearted individuals in the Odesa region - vegetables like cabbage, onions, and potatoes, bread from a local bakery, and even fish. This winter, he planned a trip to Pokrovsk for December 27, but after injuring his back during loading, he set off on December 31, accompanied by his team and two vans packed with aid. While many of us celebrated the New Year in warmth and safety, Yevgeny and his team were delivering supplies under relentless shelling. They brought with them 1.5 tons of cabbage, a ton of onions, a ton of potatoes, several hundred kilograms of fish, bread, and a ton of donated stew. The animal rescue community in Odesa region also raised an incredible $230 to purchase vital medicines to be distributed among the residents – essential medicines including fever reducers, painkillers, throat pills, antibiotics, and blood pressure meds. For the abandoned and street animals of Pokrovsk, animal aid became part of Yevgeny’s mission for the first time, thanks to the incredible support of our Meowcoin sponsor and K9 Rescue community. Together, we provided 400 kg of dog food and 150 kg of cat food, as well as 30 kg of cat litter. Here’s how the supplies were distributed: - Natalia’s cat shelter: 100 kg of dog food, 150 kg of cat food, and 30 kg of cat litter – funded by Meowcoin - Pokrovsk residents: 300 kg of dog food distributed among residents who care for their own dogs or feed street animals – funded by our K9 Community. The situation in Pokrovsk is dire. A video we saw before this trip showed families, including small children, living in basements without heat or light. The people of Pokrovsk are doing everything they can to survive, but resources are stretched thin. Yevgeny reported that many residents are already preparing for the city to fall under occupation. Despite the overwhelming challenges, Yevgeny refuses to stop his missions of hope. For nearly three years, he has delivered aid to frontline cities, and his determination remains unshaken. We are immensely grateful to Yevgeny, to Natalia, to Meowcoin and our supporters, and to every person who supported this mission. Your compassion is helping both people and animals survive in these unimaginable conditions. This animal feed mission was made possible by the incredible generosity of Meowcoin’s crypto donation and our loyal fiat supporters. Together, you’ve helped Natalia’s 50 cats and 23 dogs get the food they desperately needed, as well as food for the dogs and stray dogs being cared for by Pokrovsk residents. Thank you! 🫶🐈‍⬛

🐾 1 MEAL - 50 CENTS! 🐾 This vision from $OSCAR and @K9_Rescue could change countless lives: micro-donations where just 50 cents in $OSCAR tokens (using $BONE token gas - low fees) can feed an abandoned dog. But to make this a reality, we need #Shibarium's support for integration. @ShibariumNet, imagine the difference this could make. Every day we wait, hungry dogs are still searching for their next meal. Blockchain was meant to change the world - so why not start with the voiceless who need us most? This is Shibarium's chance to create real impact and show the world how blockchain can be a force for good! 💚 Collaborate with us! 🫶

Another huge thank you to for their incredible support! 💜🐾 Every donation goes straight to create real impact with long-term solutions - that’s why our mission focuses on three essentials: 🐾 Food: No animal should starve. We fund feeding programs that keep stray dogs and cats nourished, especially in crisis zones. 🩺 Urgent Vet Care: Injured and sick animals deserve a fighting chance. We cover lifesaving treatments so they don’t suffer without help. ✂️ Spay/Neuter: The only way to break the cycle of suffering is to prevent it before it begins. Sterilization stops endless litters from being born into a life of suffering. Every dollar we receive goes directly toward these life-changing efforts. This is Real Impact. Real change. Real lives saved. Thank you for being part of it! 💜🐶🐱 #CryptoForGood #DegensForDogs
