Virtual Adoption

Our Shelter was among the first in Serbia to introduce the practice of virtual adoption, or “sponsoring” cats who, due to their health, age, temperament, or other circumstances, are unlikely to find a permanent home.

Virtual adoption allows you to help a specific cat and contribute to its safety and quality of life, even when you are unable to adopt the cat into your own home.

Why is virtual adoption important to us?

Over the years, we have found that some cats have very little chance of finding a suitable permanent home. At the same time, the costs of their accommodation, food, and veterinary care present a major challenge to the Shelter’s ability to continue caring for them.

By virtually adopting a cat, you help ensure that a cat who cannot be conventionally adopted continues to have a safe home, daily care, and the veterinary attention it needs. At the same time, you help the Shelter continue caring for that cat.

How does virtual adoption work?

In our Gallery, you can choose a cat you would like to sponsor.

Your contribution is a monthly sponsorship, according to your means. The minimum sponsorship is 20 euros per month per cat, which is approximately what we spend each month on the cat’s care at the Shelter.

A cat can have more than one sponsor, so even a smaller individual contribution, combined with those of other sponsors, can make a significant difference to the cat’s care.

Virtual adoption does not mean taking the cat into your home. The cat remains at the Shelter, where it continues to receive food, care, veterinary assistance, and everything else it needs.

Why become a virtual adopter?

  • You help a cat that is unlikely to find a conventional permanent home.
  • You contribute to its safety, care, and quality of life.
  • You help the Shelter continue caring for cats who have no other options.
  • Your support enables us to continue our mission of rescuing and caring for abandoned and unwanted cats.

How to become a virtual adopter

If you would like to virtually adopt one or more cats, choose your “sponsored cat” from our Gallery and select a monthly sponsorship amount according to your means.

We kindly ask our sponsors to send us their email address at [email protected] so that we can keep them informed of important changes and updates regarding their sponsored cat.
