Who We Are and Why We Do This
About Mona & Friends
A Non Profit Organization With a Mission to Help, Protect and Find a Permanent Home for Stray Animals
Mona and Friends grew from a simple but urgent truth: too many animals 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.
Maria Zdraveva

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.

To adopt a pet, get in touch with us through our contact page or give us a call.

We want every match to be a lasting one.
How can I donate or support your mission?
You can donate directly through our website using the donation form on the home page. Every contribution, no matter the size, goes directly toward food, veterinary care, shelter costs and the ongoing build of our dedicated facility in Macedonia. You can also donate supplies, share our page or help by spreading the word.
What should I do if I find an injured stray animal?
If you find an injured stray dog or cat, please contact us as soon as possible. Our team will advise you on the safest steps to take and, where we can, we will come to collect the animal, transport it to safety and provide the medical care it needs. Please do not leave an injured animal without first seeking help.
Do you provide medical treatment for rescued animals?
Yes. As an organization founded and led by a licensed veterinarian, medical care is at the heart of everything we do. Every animal we rescue receives a full health check, vaccinations, parasite treatment and any other veterinary care needed before being placed for adoption. All animals are spayed or neutered where appropriate.

Absolutely. Volunteers are the backbone of our work. Whether you can help with animal care, fundraising, events, transport or simply spending time socializing the animals at our shelter, we would love to have you.
