This is Hope’s neck after his vet visit last weekend.

The collar he was wearing had become so tight and dirty, it was already nabubulok, according to the vet. It caused severe irritation and infection. His skin was raw, inflamed, and full of ticks. The smell was so bad, you could already smell it even from afar. 😢

But once the collar was removed and the area was cleaned, biglang nawala yung amoy. Finally, some relief for our sweet boy.

It’s still a long road ahead, but the worst part is over. He’s safe now. Healing. And best of all, hindi na sya nag iisang lumalaban. 🙏

That said, we had to use what little funds we had, money meant for the food of our other rescues just to cover his meds and tests. We’re doing everything we can, but we can’t do this without your help.

If you’d like to support Hope’s recovery, any amount you can spare would really mean the world to us. Every peso will go directly to his meds, follow-ups, and care. ❤️

Maraming salamat po, from Hope and all of us at Save the Strays VRC. 🙏

Meet these adorable kittens we rescued from the hidden corners of Ever Gotesco Commonwealth Mall. For weeks, they quietly lived behind racks of clothes, kept safe by a kind-hearted saleslady who just couldn’t bear to see them thrown out into danger.

Now they’re safe with us, and ready to start the next chapter of their lives in a real home where they can grow up loved and protected. ❤️

Each one is sweet, playful, full of kitten energy, and always ready to explore the world around them.

We’d love for them to be adopted in pairs if possible. Growing up with a sibling means they’ll always have a playmate and a comforting friend as they adjust to their new home.

If you have space in your heart for two little furballs, please consider adopting. Let’s give these brave babies the forever homes they truly deserve.

The newborn kitten we rescued 3 days ago didn’t make it. 💔 She passed away before we could even give her a name.

She came into this world alone and was left to survive on her own, but for a brief moment, she was held, fed, kept warm, and loved.

We hoped so badly for a miracle, but it just wasn’t enough.

You mattered, little one. Even for a short while, you were loved.

Look at that smile! 😍

This is Hope, just moments after escaping what could have been a tragic fate.

When the city pound came to the village, we feared for all the strays we’ve been caring for. But somehow, Hope knew.

She followed us willingly to the shelter - no leash, no struggle. Just quiet trust. As if she felt, "I’ll be safe if I go with them."

Now she is. ❤️
Safe. Fed. Loved. And smiling.

Paloma is a sweet kitten we rescued along with her sister, Portia. They were being cared for by someone who genuinely wanted the best for them, but she feared that her neighbor might throw the kittens away. Worried for their safety, she reached out to us for help in finding them a better life.

After more than a month of tender loving care, Paloma has blossomed into a healthy, affectionate, and playful little girl.

Now, Paloma is ready for her forever home, one where she will be safe, cherished, and loved unconditionally.

Could you be the one to give Paloma the life she deserves?

We recently rescued this mama cat and her four kittens from Ever Gotesco Commonwealth. For weeks, they lived in hiding, tucked behind racks of clothes inside the mall, away from the watchful eyes of roaming security guards.

A kind-hearted saleslady had been secretly caring for them since the mama gave birth, doing everything she could to keep them safe. But as the kittens grew and started to wander, the risk of them being discovered and thrown out into the busy street grew even greater.

Fearing for their lives, the saleslady reached out to us for help.

Thanks to her compassion, this little family is now safe. The mama cat no longer has to live in fear, and her kittens now have a real chance at a better future.

Stay tuned as we get them the care they need and prepare them for loving forever homes.

A dream come true for furmoms and furdads in Makati!

The city has opened a new Animal Care Facility in Barangay Olympia, offering free consultations, vaccinations, deworming, microchipping, spaying, and neutering. This is such a big win for responsible pet ownership!

We hope other cities follow Makati’s lead. Every pet deserves access to basic veterinary care.

The two-storey facility is the first of its kind in the Philippines. http://bit.ly/4443WqV

Meet Rocco and Dazzle, two of the 7 kittens we rescued from our community church. Born on February 24, 2025, these siblings were thin, malnourished and flea-infested when we took them in. But these two are true warriors. With love, proper care, and a cozy environment, they have become active, playful and so full of personality.

We would love for them to be adopted together. They’re bonded, love playing and cuddling, and truly shine when they’re with each other. But if you can only take one home, that’s okay too. What matters most is that they find families who will love and care for them.

If you’re ready to bring these two bundles of joy into your life, do let us know.

Still waiting…still hopeful…

Ebony is the last of her litter still looking for a forever home. She and her siblings, Toasty, Ash, and Cole were abandoned near our shelter when they were just tiny, helpless kittens. One by one, her siblings found loving families. Now, it’s Ebony’s turn.

She may have had a rough start, but Ebony has grown into a lively, affectionate young cat who loves to play and explore. Her beautiful tortoiseshell coat is as unique as her personality: bold, curious, and full of heart.

If you're looking for a loyal companion with charm and a dash of sass, Ebony is ready to meet you. ❤️

This little sweetheart was rescued at a Shopee drop-off point.

One of our volunteers spotted her wandering around the area, looking lost and out of place. Niligaw, according to the people nearby, and no one seemed to be looking for her. With delivery trucks and cars passing through, it was only a matter of time before something terrible could’ve happened. Not wanting to take that risk, our volunteer scooped her up and brought her safely to the shelter.

Now safe and sound, Shopee is thriving. She may have started off as a stray, but she’s now ready to become someone’s beloved fur baby.

If you’re ready to give Shopee the safe, loving home she truly deserves, send us a message.

While her siblings have all found their forever homes, sweet Dane remains at the shelter, still hoping that someone out there will choose her too.

She was rescued, along with her littermates, from a place where they were unwanted and at risk of being taken by the city pound. We couldn’t let that happen. These pups deserved a chance at a better life, and Dane still does.

This little pup is full of love and puppy energy! She may be the last one left, but she’s no less special. In fact, we believe she’s just been waiting for you all along. 💕

Give Dane the home she’s been waiting for.
Send us a message if you’re ready to welcome her into your life.
