About Mona & FriendsMona and Friends grew from a simple but urgent truth: too many animals in are living on the streets without safety, food, or love. We are a volunteer driven, non profit organization founded by a licensed veterinarian who turned a lifelong passion for animal welfare into real, hands-on action for homeless dogs and cats every single day.
Our goal is to build a dedicated animal welfare facility, and with the generous support of donors and volunteers, we are getting closer. Once complete, the facility will have two wings. The left wing will be a free shelter for rescued stray animals, providing veterinary care, safe housing, socialization and adoption support. The right wing will operate as a boarding and pet care center for paying customers, making the shelter financially sustainable without ever compromising on the animals who need us most.

Ana Petrovska
Adopted Luna, Skopje
I adopted my dog Luna through Mona and Friends three years ago. The process was thoughtful, the team was warm and honest, and Luna has brought so much joy into my life. Knowing she came from a safe, caring rescue makes it even more special.
Stefan Nikolov
Volunteer, Bitola
I found an injured stray cat on the street and had no idea what to do. Mona and Friends responded quickly, took the cat in, treated her and eventually found her a home. The team is genuine, professional and truly passionate about what they do.

We donated to the facility fund and have followed the journey ever since. It is so inspiring to see real progress being made for animals who have no voice. Mona and Friends is a cause I am proud to support and will continue to support.
