Bridges From Kuwait

Hi, my name is Mae. I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Although I didn’t grow up with pets, I've always cherished the unconditional love and comfort animals provide. I now have three cats of my own and can't imagine life without them.

Recently, I've been following a non-profit cat rescue in Pittsburgh, PA. An amazing individual named Tarra started this organization, working with animal rescuers in Kuwait and other countries to bring cats to the Pittsburgh area for adoption, helping them find loving, forever homes. Unfortunately, the group is at risk of shutting down due to overwhelming vet debt. While my contribution might be small, I wanted to start a GoFundMe campaign to support them. Every penny helps, and all proceeds will go directly to the organization.

Below is more information about the situation, copied directly from the group:

"Although a wealthy country, most people in Kuwait have no value for animals. The streets are full of stray and dumped pets. They are bought as "toys" and when they don’t want them anymore they dump in them streets without thinking of the consequences. Beautiful pure bred cats are eating out of dumpsters. They cannot survive the heat or dodge the cars and often die. Many get picked up by the wrong people and taken to the flea market (Friday market) and are sold. These cats have never been vaccinated and the market is full of viruses where they end up dying."
