The Cuban community of animal protectors has issued an urgent call to help Hilda, a tireless cat protector in Alamar, Havana, who is going through a situation of extreme precariousness.
According to the post made by Verónica Vega on Facebook, Hilda is sick and lacks food for her more than 50 cats. In addition, she has been a victim of several thefts due to her visual impairment, which worsens her current situation.
Vega explained that the guardian does not have access to a mobile phone, as it was stolen, which further complicates communication with her.
Despite her health issues, Hilda continues to dedicate her life to caring for abandoned animals, she noted.
Elizabeth Marela Cardoso Pérez, another animal rights advocate, highlighted in the Facebook group "We Are Your Voice" that, although Hilda is not present on social media or asking for help publicly, her work is monumental.
She maintains a shelter in her home, where she takes in cats of all sizes and health conditions, never abandoning them at any moment.
"Despite serious health problems, he never leaves a little animal abandoned; his sacrifice and dedication are constant," he emphasized.
Animal rights pages are filled with requests for help, but, as those who know Hilda point out, her case is especially urgent and just. Any type of contribution, whether in food or monetary resources, is welcome.
"He needs any help that can be given to him, even if he doesn't express it publicly; he appreciates all kinds of contributions very much," he stressed.
The protectors have provided two bank account numbers for those who wish to help Hilda with donations: CUP 9206 9598 7703 7093 and USD 9225 9598 7517 5272.
Another protector who has also helped animals is Odalis León, who recently requested support on Facebook to continue her work in protecting pets.
"If you want to help continue transforming the lives of street animals, you can contact 58081476," emphasized the activist, who shared the story of Campi, a dog that arrived in very poor condition at the "Sole de Esperanza" shelter, and today demonstrates a radical positive change.
In July, an activist requested help for a shelter in the city of Cárdenas, Matanzas, that houses 80 dogs and cats, many of them with motor disabilities and other types. This place represents the last hope for these pets, who would not survive on the streets and are rarely adopted.
A similar situation was presented by another shelter in Havana, run by an elderly couple, who did not have the resources to feed the dogs they were protecting.
In August, an animal advocate called for support from those who wanted to help raise 800 dollars in order to buy a house in the countryside and establish a dog shelter in Güines, a municipality in the province of Mayabeque, Cuba.
