Details: The animals were moved safely from the island in the Black Sea to the mainland. All 15 cats were sent to one of Ukraine’s largest shelters, Sirius, in Kyiv Oblast.
The photographs posted by the soldiers show cats of all sizes and colours that were carefully arranged in animal baskets and brought ashore by boat.
Those rescued from the Zmiinyi Island can be adopted by families; they will be ready to receive a new home once the adaptation period at the shelter has ended.
Previously: At the end of October, Ukrainian emergency workers rescued a cat from a burning apartment that was hit in a Russian drone strike on Kyiv.
