Dear friends and family of Shelter of Light,
This is not an easy post to write. But we need to share this with the same honesty and heart that built this rescue.
As of today, our total outstanding balance with our main vet clinic is ₱638,958.90.
We understand how shocking that number may be. We were shocked, too. But every single peso represents a life — an animal we refused to give up on, a night spent fighting, or a recovery that almost didn’t happen.
Some of them made it home.
Some of them didn’t.
But every single one was loved until the end, and every bill we still owe is tied to those moments of trying, hoping, and fighting for them.
💬 The Reality We’re Facing
Over the past months, we’ve faced waves of emergencies — parvo outbreaks, FIP battles, cancer treatments, and surgeries that couldn’t wait. We have always taken responsibility for the lives we rescue.
We have been consistently paying our vet balance. But despite our ongoing payments, the total hasn’t been enough to cover the accumulated cost of months of critical cases.
Now, to face this properly, I’ve had to make one of the most difficult decisions yet: to temporarily hold vet visits. This breaks me deeply, especially because:
🩶 Winter is still fighting cancer
🧡 Chance still needs follow-ups, CT scan and surgery
🤍 Several others are on lifelong medication
It hurts to wait when you’re used to rushing to save, but we need to steady ourselves to survive.
💡 Our Plan Forward
We are facing this with transparency and determination. To rebuild and repay, we will launch various efforts that we hope you can support.
These are not quick fixes, but they are honest steps forward.

I promise to keep working, even if it breaks my whole body, because this responsibility — this love — is ours to carry.
Shelter of Light was never about money.
It has always been about compassion, accountability, and the lives that found love because someone refused to give up on them.
Thank you for standing with us — in heartbreak, in healing, and in hope.
