Ukraine-Poland-Czech Republic-Austria-Italy
5015 km
We had 22 pets, 40 grams of rabies, 5 Ukrainian women, 2 cars, a bag of food, 3 sleeping bags, 3 sleeping mats, 15 liters of Ukrainian gasoline hidden in the cabin and a great idea!
6.5 days almost all the time driving, because we transport 8 dogs and 14 cats to Europe as a family, for home entertainment or to small local shelters.
4 cars with our animals drove across the border. We crossed the border perfectly, it took about 3-4 hours. And this, as it turned out, is a record))))
After crossing the Polish border, we walked some dogs, moved the boxes and set off on the road in two cars.
Our first stop was in Poland. A wonderful girl Tanya was waiting for our cats there. We arrived at her place in the morning.
The cats were allowed to stretch out, everyone was given water and food.
Tanya and her friend Nastya have been waiting for a month for two cats that our team brought from the Rifugio shelter. They left the tailed beauties, told everything and drove on.
Spoiler: we are already receiving photos and videos of happy kittens in new families.
We honestly pay for all roads. We are received hospitably everywhere and we are grateful to these countries!
The border with the Czech Republic was crossed (flew) in 2 seconds.
And also... there are such winds here - they blow away a car with a box on the roof, but we, like that locker in Borodyanka, hold on!
Animals. It is difficult for them. The road is long and it is necessary to deliver quickly. Audley (an old dog) periodically drops us off with an unexpected bark, so much so that Tanya and I remembered how to get baptized (humor if anything). Sonya the dog bites the box, Pasha sings us songs and yesterday he cracked his voice a little, Alex tells us fairy tales, everyone else has resigned and sits quietly. But soon there will be new people and dog-cat happiness in their lives!
Kyiv-style kittens continue to collect funds for fuel. It is here! And a lot! You just have to refuel yourself and make sure that the car is not full of gasoline)
Fuel receipts are carefully stuffed into an envelope ... we are afraid to count.
But... 22 animals got a chance for a new life! And delivering these hairy fighters is happiness!
The FreeAnimals team is incredibly grateful for this opportunity for cats and dogs!
We sleep for 4-5 hours, because we have to go back to Ukraine, we have a lot of work to do here.
By the way, the mission on the dogs and cats was accomplished!
