Adult cat in Arkhangelsk overcomes fear and stress

Look how scared Vaska looked when he arrived at the shelter in the summer. Over several months, the lost cat from Arkhangelsk managed to cope with stress, get used to people, and now even asks to be held.

Vaska is already 8 years old; the adult cat ended up on the street and was taken to a shelter. Employees of «Lesnaya Skazka u Sinbad» said that Vasya was very frightened, avoided people, and was afraid of other cats.

«He lived in a room by himself, we waited for him to thaw out and start trusting people,» — added the shelter staff.

Now the stress has passed. Vaska himself goes for cuddles, has started getting along with cats, plays with children who come to the cat cafe to meet the pets. The cat is eagerly waiting for a loving and patient family to lie on the sofa and purr songs.

You can meet Vaska at the cat cafe «Skazka u Sinbad».

There are many homeless animals in Arkhangelsk, but there are also many people willing to help animals left without owners. Tatyana Nikulina is one of them. An experienced volunteer told how the problem can be solved.

Not everyone can take an animal home, but they help by taking them in for temporary foster care. Olga Tyuryapina from Arkhangelsk did just that. See what little one she sheltered.

But there are also people who treat animals very differently: a young dog named Rex was once tied up near an entrance and left completely alone. The owner never came back. Rex is waiting for his new family.

At the Severodvinsk shelter for homeless cats «KotoYaselki», they are placing a cat named Denis with a noble coat and azure eyes: he was afraid of people, but volunteers are sure that, once in a family, he will start to trust.
