Cats in War 6, Chachi's Haven (Israel)
This is continuation of the series of Caturday posts about cats trapped in war zones. Cats are not political (nor are dogs or any other animal for that matter--nor, generally, the people caring for them, nor this post). In peace and where people watch out for them, cats enjoy being loved and learn to return love. Yet, cats (and other animals) do get find themselves struggling in war zones. They, just like people who have done nothing to bring harm to anyone else but just happen to live there, suffer the consequences of evil descending unexpectedly from sources external to them. Like people, cats and other animals suffer when they are homeless and without food or winter. And they are often completely forgotten when war (or natural disaster, for that matter -- they drown in floods and burn in fires) breaks out. Like people, they have to dodge bullets, bombs, and other dangers. Unlike people, they are often not calculated into humanitarian outreach efforts
Chachi's Haven is in Telmond, Israel, a community of about 14000 inhabitants. The current war has not reached Telmond. Let's hope it never does. Nonetheless, the shelter does need help. It runs entirely on donations, and nearby wars can dry up donations as the Hamas-Israel war takes priority. The link to the haven provides more information and a mechanism for donating.
War is awful. The suffering of animals (and innocent people) from the wages of war is inexcusable. Yet, how does one help while sitting in a peaceful location far from the madding crowd? I help the only way I know how -- by trying to support from afar one effort that I can reach and providing that effort prayers, encouragement, and where possible, donations, as well as by spreading the word until it reaches someone who can perhaps do much more.
