How was the operation "GUR-KIT" on Zmiiny Island
The fighters of the "Timur Special Unit" of the DIU of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine decided to do an important thing. They evacuated 15 cats during a patrol on Zmiiny Island.
As informed by DIU, the cats were carefully brought to Sirius, one of the largest animal shelters in Ukraine, and the rescue operation took place with the support of the MacPaw Foundation.
After the adaptation of the cats rescued from the famous Snake, anyone willing will have the opportunity to shelter one of them and take care of them at the Sirius shelter, which directly deals with adoption.
