ZERO STRAY PAWJECT AWARDED SPECIAL GRANT FROM BATTERSEA DOGS & CATS HOME

Zero Stray Pawject Inc has been awarded a special grant from one of the UK’s leading animal welfare charities, Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London. The funds granted by Battersea will support building the Zero Stray Pawject Academy and enable municipalities to receive actionable training on how to reduce / eliminate the stray pet situation in their community in a systemic way.

Silja Schiller-Moumtzidis, Co-Founder and CEO of Zero Stray Pawject, Inc said “the support of Battersea is vital to meet the demand of municipalities to build an academy with experts from across all of Greece and abroad to help solve the problem of strays and provide the right level of expertise to them. Thanks to Battersea’s funding, we can offer this service to municipalities for free”.

Margaret Hulme, Grants Manager at Battersea added: “We hope that this grant will help make a real difference to the lives of animals. At Battersea we want to support animal welfare organizations, rescues, and shelters, not only by awarding funding, but also by sharing the experiences and knowledge we have gained as an animal welfare charity that has been rescuing and rehoming animals for 160 years.”

Battersea Grants is an initiative launched in 2019 that aims to support smaller animal welfare organizations by offering grants. This money will help organizations continue their great work around specific animal welfare programs.
