Organiser's profile

My name is Dawid Dopierala, and I live with my wife in the beautiful but challenging setting of the countryside. Together, we share a profound love for animals, which is not only reflected in our choice to live as vegetarians but also in our daily actions. Our home is a sanctuary not just for our two cats and two bunnies, but also for the numerous stray cats that have found refuge in our vicinity. For the past four years, I have been actively involved in caring for these stray cats, dedicating my time and resources to ensure they receive the food, medical attention, and love they need. This commitment extends beyond mere feeding to include regular veterinary care, emergency treatments, and crucial sterilization procedures to manage the growing populations responsibly. Despite facing personal challenges, including recovering from knee surgery and preparing for a new addition to our family, my dedication to these animals remains unwavering. My current unemployment has stretched our financial resources thin, yet my resolve to provide a safer, healthier environment for these cats has only strengthened. Through my actions, I strive to embody the values of empathy and harmony, believing that every creature deserves a chance at a better life. My efforts to build shelters and provide ongoing care for these cats are fueled by a community of supporters who share my vision of a more compassionate world.
