"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
- Margaret Mead
Our hearts break for all animals in unfortunate situations and we believe that we can be part of the change we seek. To that end, WiseMeow donates a portion of every sale to various cat and animal charities.
One of the charities we love donating to is Ernesto's Cat Sanctuary which is situated in the north-western area of Syria. Their area is a war zone and is still suffering from the civil war that has affected all of Syria for the last 10+ years. At their sanctuary they take care of the forgotten victims of the war: Syria’s animals. Nearly two-thousand cats of all sizes, shapes, and colors call Ernesto's sanctuary home. All of them are survivors and all of them have their own story. Some were abandoned when their owners fled from the bombing while others were born onto the streets of deserted and ruined towns where survival is almost impossible. Ernesto's also has a sanctuary for farm animals which is home to 24 dogs, 4 donkeys, 3 horses, 7 goats, 10 chickens, 2 geese, 1 duck, 5 monkeys, 2 peacocks, 3 sheep, 3 horses and 4 doves, all rescued from terrible situations.
In addition to saving animals, Ernesto's maintains a free Veterinary Clinic in the town where people can bring their animals for treatments such as spaying and neutering. Two fully qualified vets and an animal nursing team are available to offer first-aid and treatment to animals in need. Each site also helps the local economy by hiring and training locals in animal care and management Ernesto's Sanctuary has a simple mission – to improve the lives of the animals in their area.
