A New York City Soup Kitchen Opens Its Doors To Assist Homeless Pets

http://www.suggestedpost.eu/collide-new-york-city/

-snip-
In a city where 8.4 million call home, more than 52,000 people sleep in a homeless shelter and at least 3,200 additional people sleep on the streets of New York City. For many, the only emotional support, stability and unconditional love they receive comes from the loyal pets that stay close to them during their hardships. But this bond isn’t always easy. Fortunately there is help.

At the intersection of human and animal welfare you will find a New York City-based grassroots organization known as Collide. Operating in Manhattan, a devoted team of volunteers work to serve the transient community of New York City, specifically offering free services for companion animals of the homeless in the form of food, clothing, licensing and medical care.

that there's still a place for our beloved animals in this sick and ratchet world were money trumps everything.

In my lifetime, about 15 dogs and about the same amount of cats have owned me. Currently four cats have allowed me to live with them. I would rather not live in a world without animals giving me their love, companionship and friendship. I would rather not live in a world without animals, period.
