1. Lack of FinancesVet bills present a huge financial challenge to people who live in poverty.

2. No Transport to VetsEven subsidised services often cannot be reached on foot.

3. Limited Education Reliable animal health information and awareness of animal rights do not reach these streets.

4. De-sensitisation & Hopelessness Decades of social stress sever the link between awareness

and action.

Four barriers stand
between pets and care.

In communities where many families live in shacks, face unemployment and rely on daily soup kitchens, pets are often last on the priority list. Overcrowding, violence and poverty make preventable suffering feel normal.
