Animal protection advocates requested help on Monday for a cat that is missing part of its face and was seen on a street in Havana.
Dianeya Pérez reported in the Facebook group "Animal Protection Society in Cuba" that the feline was located in Lawton, "on Gertrudis Street between Segunda and Primera."
“Someone who can help him, please,” Pérez requested, noting that he couldn't pick up the cat because he has two dogs.
In the comments section, many speculated that the facial injuries on the cat could be the result of a fight with a dog or an accident.
Most agreed that the feline needed immediate help and shared the post to save the animal's life.
A person known as Sarwin PapaGato stated that the cat suffers from squamous cells, adding, "if that's the case, there is no cure."
Due to the inaction of the Cuban regime in protecting animals, activists often take it upon themselves to care for pets and advocate for their rights.
Last Friday, a puppy was abandoned at a corner in the Playa municipality of Havana with a sign asking for help in caring for it.
A Facebook post indicates that the puppy was found at the corner of 5ta B and 116, with a sign stating that the animal has diarrhea and cannot consume milk.
Recently, Cuban animal rights activist Yenney Caballero celebrated on social media the successful surgery of Simbad, a puppy who was suffering from a bone fracture that prevented him from walking.
The activist expressed on Facebook: "We did it once again, and I am happy. Together, we saved many lives." A few days earlier, she had requested help to gather the 18,000 pesos needed to cover the dog's surgery.
