From the time she could say ‘good boy’, Mariam has been caring for stray cats and dogs. Zugdidi, a small, underserved town in Western Georgia—and her home—has always stood out with a large stray animal population. In 2015—or as soon as she started earning her paychecks—Mariam started actively rescuing, treating, neutering, and finding forever homes for strays. When putting strays up for adoption in Georgia became challenging, Mariam reached out to friends across the globe. Another challenge was to provide temporary shelters for strays before their departure, and Mariam saw this as an opportunity to support rural families in Georgia through foster fees, a source of income that proves invaluable for our foster homes.
