(1)

Shelter of Light is an independent rescue located in Quezon City, Philippines. Established on November 20, 2020, it was created by a young woman as supported by her family. Shelter of Light cares for different animals, but has a prime focus on cats, especially the following: neonates, mama cats, special needs, semi-ferals, and those with existing illnesses. Currently residing only in a family home

, SoL’s dream is to someday build a sanctuary that will extend help to more animals in need. Shelter of Light, together with animal welfare, also greatly advocates for education and mental health.

🌈 Mission
Shelter of Light aims to rescue and rehabilitate abandoned and neglected animals, with a primary focus on cats, especially neonates, mama cats, special needs, semi-ferals, and those with existing illnesses. We strive to provide a safe and loving environment to these animals, giving them the necessary medical care, food, shelter, and love they require to thrive. Through our advocacies of animal welfare, mental health, and education, we aim to raise awareness and inspire compassion towards all living beings.

πŸ”­ Vision
Our vision at Shelter of Light is to create a community where all animals are treated with the love and respect that they deserve. We strive to be one of the leading forces in animal welfare and advocacy and in providing a safe haven for animals in need. Our ultimate goal is to build a sanctuary that will accommodate more animals and expand our reach, enabling us to help more and promote a culture of kindness and compassion towards animals and humans alike. We envision a society where people are educated and inspired to care for animals, and where the bond between humans and animals is strengthened and celebrated.

Three of SoL's baby boys have taken over the bed again. Tangled paws, one using another as a pillow.

They don't know we're running low again. Vet bills, house bills, the everyday things that keep ninety of them fed and safe, all piling up at the same time. They just know the bed is soft and someone's close by.

Help us keep the tummies of these boys full, and the rest of the SoL furmily too.

If you've got a little room this week, for a share, a message, whatever you can spare, every bit helps us get through this week.

Hi, everyone! We have received help for the few days of food of the SoL residents! Our goal for the rest of the week is to be able to send another P10k to Vets on Point and hopefully another P10k to Furr Project. Every bit of help enables us to lower our vet bills even gradually. You can also pay directly to our vets, just PM us for details. Thank you so much for your continued kindness, love, and generosity to SoL!

P.S. I will also do my best po to update the tracker we have this weekend! Sorry po, it has been quite busy at SoL especially with the rains, and I've been struggling with my health as well. Thank you for your patience with me!

Sila yung nakikita mo sa kanto, sa palengke, sa tabi ng basurahan, hinahanap ang susunod na kakainin. Sila yung madalas ginagawa lamang bantay.

Wala silang certificate na nagpapatunay ng lahi nila, pero mayroon silang katapatan na hindi mo mabibili kahit saan.

Marami sa kanila ang natutong mabuhay nang mag-isa, pero hindi ito nangangahulugang hindi na sila karapat-dapat magmahal at mahalin.

Ngayong National Aspin Day, hinihikayat natin ang lahat na tingnan ang asong Pinoy nang may paggalang na nararapat sa kanila.

Sila ay bahagi ng ating kasaysayan at kalinangan, hindi lamang mga hayop na nakikita sa lansangan. Ang kanilang katatagan at katapatan ay karapat-dapat kilalanin, hindi ikahiya.

Simulan natin ang pagbabago sa ating pananaw. Ang bawat asong Pinoy, saan man ito nanggaling, ay may halaga at karapat-dapat sa pagmamahal.

URGENT: We're out of wet food and p*e pads πŸ₯Ί

We're completely out of canned wet food and p*e pads at SoL. We need to buy tonight so the cats have food tomorrow. πŸ™

😸 Wet food: P85/can
😸 P*e pads: P250 per 100 pcs

We need at least 10 cans just for tomorrow morning, and this is a daily need.

We also have a P5,000 balance with our supplier that needs to be settled.

If you're able to help, here are our donation channels:

A memory popped up on my feed today. Four years ago, most of the cats piled on top of each other in one heap. I looked at it next to a similar photos from the past years.

They have space. There are high cages, empty corners, whole rooms they could stretch out in alone. And still, most nights, they choose to sleep touching each other. Paw over paw, one cat's head resting on another's side, tails wrapped around whoever is closest. I think it's because they've only known safety here. The love they have for each other, I believe, is the love that was first given to them.

And none of that love has come from us alone. It's come from everyone who has ever been there for SoL, everyone who has stayed even when the updates weren't good. Almost six years is a long time to keep choosing a place that keeps asking for help.

This week didn't go the way we hoped. We raised around P15k toward the balance we owe one vet, and they've asked for half of what's due, around P40k, so we're still about P25k short.

It's disheartening to keep going in weeks like this. If I'm honest, I think we've backtracked in a lot of ways these past years, especially with the vet bills piling the way they have. But the past (almost) six years is also long enough to see how far we've actually come. From where SoL started to where it is now, more residents cared for, more of them living past what anyone expected, more people who know their names, that is real progress, even on the weeks it doesn't feel like it.

I used to think love was something soft, something you kept for the good days. I don't think that anymore. I think love is radical. Not in the loud way that word sometimes gets used, but in the plain fact of it choosing to stay, and in the way it gets passed from hand to hand to paw and back again. That's what I see in this pile of cats. That's what I see in everyone who has helped keep SoL standing this long.

So we keep going. One vet bill, one week, at a time. I still believe love will see us through this.

If you're able to add anything toward the vet bills still, or even just help pass this along, it all still moves us closer.

Hi po. We were able to raise less than 5k since our post yesterday. We are still praying and hoping that we will be able to raise the still needed 21k~ for the requested half of the vet bills this week. Nawa'y mapakinggan ang mga dasal namin πŸ™πŸ₯Ί
