GOSTOMEL IS AN ANIMAL SHELTER IN UKRAINE RUN BY ASYA SERPINSKA.

THE 77-YEAR-OLD WOMAN FROM HOSTOMEL, A SMALL TOWN TO THE NORTHWEST OF KYIV, HAD SPENT THE PAST TWO DECADES RUNNING AN ANIMAL SHELTER. SHE BELIEVED THAT THERE WAS NO PLACE IN UKRAINE THAT NEEDED HER MORE NOW THAT A RUSSIAN INVASION WAS LOOMING.

WHEN RUSSIAN AND UKRAINIAN FORCES WERE EXCHANGING ARTILLERY ABOVE THEM AND RUSSIAN FORCES FREQUENTLY ENTERED THE PROPERTY AND THREATENED THEIR LIVES, SHE AND HER THREE COWORKERS MANAGED TO KEEP MOST OF THE 700 DOGS AND 100 CATS ALIVE, AND THEY EVEN RESCUED A LION.

WITH OUR FRIENDS OF STRAYS COLLECTION WE WOULD LIKE TO HELP THIS AMAZING ORGANISATION BY DONATING €5 PER ITEM SOLD
