Instagram star Stepan the cat raised $10,000 to help Ukrainian animals
In the first days of the war, the cat-blogger and his owner Anna hid from the bombing of Kharkiv. They spent the first few nights in the basement, and they were without electricity for a week. Once volunteers helped them evacuate, Stepan and Anna were able to get all the way to the border with Poland. After crossing the border, they accepted an offer from the World Association of Influencers from Monaco, which helped them get to France.
Abroad, the cat and his owner decided to support Ukrainians remaining at home and enduring the war. The blogger has already raised $10,000 on his page. These funds will be donated to animal welfare charities and zoos to provide care and treatment for the animals.
