Those kitties look as scared and lost as their owners ♥️
CaptainTaylorTheSandySeaSailor
I feel like if I was in the same position I'd have to fight. How do these people with cats make sure they don't run away? Respect

They're family as much as your parents, siblings, and children. They come with.

Animals are so neglected during war, this is much better news
AbtachaAboma
a) I love it — b) I remember when we shouted at brown people because they had mobile phones when coming here :/

Kind and Thoughtful act!

I will fight for my dog because I know he will fight for me and that is true for all pet owners
evil66gurl
I'm so glad. I heard a guy on NPR not wanting to leave because he couldn't take his pets. The restrictions were hard. I can't even imagine.

Fuck Putin for displacing these poor people and animals

I'm sickened that there are politicians and now a movement in America of people supporting putin...its time to get rid of the chaff...

In WWII London, they estimated 130,000 pets were destroyed out of mercy and fear they couldn't feed them thru the war. So happy to

See people bringing their pets. I couldn't leave my dog or put her down. She is my first born.

All those animals know something is very wrong and don’t understand what’s happening

Mother fucking heros, all of them and those who help.

IFAW are on the ground there helping animals if you wish to help: https://www.ifaw.org/international/news/emergency-aid-ukraine
JoyGrail
Thanks. It would kill my heart leaving my furbabies too...
lapinmachin
Pet food is also sent to the border around here, besides things for people. Trying to cover everyone's needs
mississippilessly318
Adding to this, donations for dry pet food: https://www.ifaw.org/international/news/emergency-aid-ukraine I’m not yet familiar with others

That's amazing. Thanks for charing that

The US is only recently opening pet friendly domestic abuse shelters. Leave no soul behind.

Sometimes our pets are the only stability we have. I'm glad that pets are being permitted to travel with their people.

Just saying, Ted Cruz left his dog when he ran away to Cancun

True dat
servingmytimeinusersub
See now, I'd let his dog through and tell him to eat the big one.
gloriousgabro9000
The thought of having to leave my cats behind in the event of war is always the first thing that comes to my mind.
Rawrihazshotgun
Yo hol up, I was mad before, but my blood actually just fucking boiled.

That... That doesn't sound healthy.

In his defense, it’s Ted Cruz.

I can't help it, ted Cruz is my zodiac sign

I'm not just saying, I'm stating TED CRUZ IS A WORTHLESS ASS WAD OF A FAT BEARDED DICKLESS FUCK
Cantasy
I aver that this arrogant anthropoid is an asshat.
Idabeard
Hold up. Why are you bringing beards into this?!

Not all beards, just his prepubescent excuse had to attempt growing one to show a jaw line cause he’s all neck fat

Unfortunately there's also the Doom counterpart to this.

Someone release the Doom Slayer on . . . maybe not the Russian soldiers. Putin and his oligarch friends who are actually responsible.

If I have to leave, the cat is coming with me. Otherwise, I stay. But I'm in the US, & not facing guns & bombs.

Well, Putin have threatened to uses nuclear weapons...

Mine is a large dog crate, has a pillow for cushioning, & his fishy for comfort.

During Katrina flood of New Orleans some perished because they would not leave their pets behind. Evac rules changed to include pets.

Just fires, floods, and hurricanes. We are losing that war.

People are squabbling over land. Meanwhile, Mother Earth is gearing up to remove the parasite that is the human race.

And it’s the low income and disenfranchised that will suffer first and longest.

We are killing ourselves. Mother Earth is just watching

For many people their animals are their best friends and sometimes their only family. Its all of us, or none of us. No one left behind.
SerenePrincess013
Ohana, or Oh fuck yourself. There is no in between.
TheInternetNeedsMoreCats
Yea. My 3 human family has 4 cats and a dog. Our evacuation plan includes a double decker cat carrier backpack for one human and cat >
TheInternetNeedsMoreCats
carrier saddle bags for our dog to wear. The other two humans will carry supplies and documents needed for the situation.
cutepiku
I assume you have a large breed dog dog that to work.

Medium large. He is 2 and a half and 98 lbs. Very well trained. Both cats and the backpack contraption weigh just under 25lbs. The heavier>

cats are carried by the human with the double decker backpack.

cloud on a regular basis? I know some companies don't want that due to security, but I'd be so scared to not have my thesis backed up.
SerenePrincess013
Are going to gripe about me grabbing the laptop, but this machine has my master's thesis on it, as well as the writing I use to pay bills.>
SerenePrincess013
If I lose all of that, I won't have a way to pay bills for wherever I end up afterwards. Plus, it'll be needed to document things.

I'm in Kyiv with my mom, neighbors left their cat to us. It's constantly screaming, idk what to do to calm it down.. I'm already do stressed
CheesePoweredUmbrella
Thank you. We love you.
ThatGuyFromJustSouthOfTheMiddleOfNowhere
If you have or can get something cloth the neighbors had, clothing or the like, that would have their scent it might help the cat.
lovemetenderlovemesweet
Tried it, didn't work. Left her at neighbors apartment so far
zapador
When you feed it sit next to the bowl of food but don't touch the cat, just let it eat near you.
Miiaka
That's som heartbreaking. How kind of you and your mother to take care of it. Maybe a box or a a tight place with a blanket would help?
lovemetenderlovemesweet
Will try it tomorrow, if we survive this night
Miiaka
Is there anything we can do for you? My heart cries out for you and the entire country
lovemetenderlovemesweet
Please pray for us, mom is sleeping and I can't stop crying, they say this night is the scariest and they will bomb us with Grad idk what it
lovemetenderlovemesweet
Means but people say army can't catch these deathly things
dasklaus
Cats are very territorial, can you care for it in its home, at your neighbour's place? Other than that, sorry, cat will take weeks to adjust
lovemetenderlovemesweet
Yep that's what I was doing today. I cnanged her litter box and played with her and she didn't scream. But I left her there
lovemetenderlovemesweet
Even tho neighbors asked me to take her to our place but it feels it's better this way
dasklaus
Checked out your video of her! What a nice kitty. I wish you good luck - any suggestion how to help?
lovemetenderlovemesweet
Thanks so much? this info is reliable https://www.facebook.com/100004215101170/posts/2139953879488428/
mississippilessly318
Be safe. Guard kitty. She will warm up to you. Be near her, talk to her, tell her why you’re there. If you bring her back to your place,
mississippilessly318
Bring her things and owners clothes for scent. Keep her in a room with places to hide. She’ll come out when she’s ready.
TrickyVein
Why is it always the animals suffering that hurts more?
vVvVvV3
... I believe it equally hurts us...
JustAnotherLinkInTheChain
Animals can't willingly consent or acknowledge things in a way that humans can understand. They are usually innocent in these situations
MyPasswordIs1234
TBH most people there are also innocent and did not consent to war. And yet the war came.
elevengoldfish
Also, pets don't have a choice in these events. It is our responsibility to care/protect them. We are their stewards. Dogs don't wage war.
InfinitusEquitas
Animals and kids. Mostly animals.
RoombaTheAssaultVacuum
Animals can't fight back. Sure a dog can bite and a cat could scratch, but animals never commit atrocities or war crimes. They ar ethe true
RoombaTheAssaultVacuum
Are the true innocent victims in the world.
GerberLegalTeam
Yeah, i don't know, but i feel the same way
HikariShade
Animals and children represent an innocence that an adult can never hold. Seeing that innocence broken is traumatic even to the observer.
LitheXD
Children are definitely not innocent. They lie and steal at a young age, not to mention bully others who are different.
LitheXD
I dont know why this narrative persists.
mississippilessly318
A child’s rebellion and general naughtiness is not the same as adults being aholes and starting wars.
MyPasswordIs1234
Children are selfish and they try various behaviors. They need upbringing to tell good from bad. They are still innocent in many ways.
Equinox13
Where's that photo that broke my heart of the refugee girl that thought a camera was a gun? Ah, there.
DeadeicPrints
Fuck dude, I'm at work fighting back tears ffs.
Equinox13
I'm sorry.
Agrotere
...no words.
Equinox13
I know. I'm sorry.
groovyhoneypanda
they're not as innocent as ppl like to think. we idealise them too much. they're often dependent on us though, like toddlers. still ♡ them
HikariShade
Individual cases are exceptions, not the rule. The average animal or child is innocent in the ways of pain, trauma, hate, etc.
groovyhoneypanda
nah plenty of animals are sadistic. cats ''play'' with and torture prey. many animals regularly phys. or sex. assault each other (etc.)
groovyhoneypanda
You can still be an animal lover and recognise them for what they actually are. Obviously they're still innocent victims of war
papertiger09
You're assigning human traits to animals. A cat has no concept of torture. Animals do not have a sense of consent.
