Beloved dogs and cats have been trapped in Marawi for over two months. On social media, people shared heartbreaking stories of being forced to leave beloved dogs and cats behind in the beleaguered city.
Reports on how the animals are faring are grim. We shall spare you the details–because what is important is that there is hope!
The Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) is spearheading a feeding of the abandoned Marawi cats and dogs–and you can help by donating meals.
Help PAWS distribute 8,750 meals to the cats & dogs of Marawi! For only ₱250, you can donate 25 meals. Pet Warehouse in partnership with Purina Philippines will make sure it gets to Marawi.
For as low as Php250, you can purchase and donate 25 meals if you order through the Pet Warehouse website. Pet Warehouse will process your donations and PAWS will take charge of distribution.
According to PAWS Executive Director Anna Cabrera, they are trying to address the worsening condition of abandoned animals by sending as much food and supplies to them. In partnership with Nestlé Purina PetCare Company who allocated affordable pet food, donations will be coming from the Purina warehouse in Iligan City to facilitate easier coordination for PAWS once they bring it into Marawi.
“Abandoned dogs and cats have been seen eating cadavers. With the ongoing crisis, it’s hard to tell when the area will be cleared and become safe for dogs and cats again. Sure, relief goods are sent, but only for people, not for the starving animals.” Cabrera said.
“Many are struggling to survive due to starvation and dehydration. A huge number of animals in Marawi have no means to fend for themselves. They are relying on people to help them, and that’s where we come in. With your help, we can still save lives of dogs and cats who are distressed by the conflict.”
