«Kasia Shynkevich — foundation coordinator Stay With Pets»

Stay With Pets is a community of volunteers supporting the only non-governmental animal shelter in Batumi. Since 2023, we’ve been caring for 250 dogs and 150 cats at the shelter 🐾

Our main goal is to find a loving family for each of our animals — so that one day, shelters are no longer needed and the problem of stray animals in Batumi is solved for good.

We are involved in:

 • Providing weekly food for the entire shelter
 • Vaccinating, deworming, sterilizing, and treating — everything our furry friends may need throughout their lives
 • Finding the best homes all over the world. Our animals now live in Georgia, Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Luxembourg, Cyprus, Serbia, and many other countries
 • Organizing events, festivals, exhibitions, and lectures to raise awareness about volunteering and the issue of stray animals in Georgia
 • Hosting weekly clean-up Saturdays — open to everyone. Join us to help tidy up the shelter, meet our residents, and get to know the founders, Inga and Merab

🐶🐱 There are many ways to support us, the shelter, and our animals:

We not only need donations to keep the shelter running, but also:
 • Helping hands for cleaning and construction
 • Temporary foster homes if you can’t adopt permanently
 • High-quality photos and videos to help our animals get adopted faster
 • Informational support: reposts, sharing our content, boosting awareness

Everyone can help! We value every form of support — even the simplest actions can create real change 🤍

You are doing enough!
