💛 Animal Welfare, Education, and Mental Health Advocate ✨ What is SoL?

Shelter of Light is an independent rescue located in Quezon City, Philippines. Established on November 20, 2020, it was created by a young woman as supported by her family. Shelter of Light cares for different animals, but has a prime focus on cats, especially the following: neonates, mama cats, special needs, semi-ferals, and those with existing illnesses. Currently residing only in a family home

, SoL’s dream is to someday build a sanctuary that will extend help to more animals in need. Shelter of Light, together with animal welfare, also greatly advocates for education and mental health.

🌈 Mission
Shelter of Light aims to rescue and rehabilitate abandoned and neglected animals, with a primary focus on cats, especially neonates, mama cats, special needs, semi-ferals, and those with existing illnesses. We strive to provide a safe and loving environment to these animals, giving them the necessary medical care, food, shelter, and love they require to thrive. Through our advocacies of animal welfare, mental health, and education, we aim to raise awareness and inspire compassion towards all living beings.

🔭 Vision
Our vision at Shelter of Light is to create a community where all animals are treated with the love and respect that they deserve. We strive to be one of the leading forces in animal welfare and advocacy and in providing a safe haven for animals in need. Our ultimate goal is to build a sanctuary that will accommodate more animals and expand our reach, enabling us to help more and promote a culture of kindness and compassion towards animals and humans alike. We envision a society where people are educated and inspired to care for animals, and where the bond between humans and animals is strengthened and celebrated.

Hi, everyone. I just want to give a heads up that we may not be able to be active for the coming days ahead.

Some things have transpired recently and I had one of my worst panic attacks today. I went back to the habit of walking aimlessly on the streets with the want to be hit. It was something I used to do in college, and that is just not how I want things to be. Especially now that I have so many cats and dogs and people relying on to me. May you not perceive me as weak or ungrateful, because I am really trying my best. I am so sorry for being the way that I am, but I really love the SoL cats and dogs and I will do everything for them. I just really need to breathe.

I hope you can still support SoL especially right now as the food funds are dwindling.
I hope you are in better places than I am currently. I hope your hearts are lighter than mine. I may not have met all of you but your kindness has made it worthwhile. Thank you, everyone. For everything.

It was November 2022 when Ms. brought Ivy to us to foster together with Anino and Jennifer. She was then the weakest and youngest of the three and she also only had one eye.

In the next months after Ivy's arrival, she went back and forth to the vet as she had moments when she would just not eat. Then in January 2023, she surprised us when she suddenly gave birth. She did not show signs she was pregnant and all our males have been spayed already so she was rescued with a baby. Ivy was a small cat so her kitten was also very small.

We named the kitten Evergreen but Ivy was not nursing him. So we took care of Evergreen as much as we can, but the baby was also a weak one and he also seems to have a cleft palete. Evergreen passed away after just one day.

After which, Ivy became sweet though still distant with us. She started playing and being close to our other rescues. There were times when we still had to bring her to the vet but she was also overall okay.

This January though, we noticed that she was acting strange. She was not becoming significantly thinner as you would expect from a cat who's sick but she just kept staring at me from afar. Again, she was a sweet but distant cat. You would have to go to her to get affection and generally doesn't care about the humans. I decided to cage her, observe her for a few days, and when she did not seem to go back to her usual self and she was also not eating as much as before, I brought her to the vet.

Her diagnosis was devastating. Suspected CKD. Possibly in the late stage. CKD in cats does not have a specific cure yet. It will keep on progressing and when they reach the latter stages, all that is left is palliative care.

Still, I hoped that Ivy will fight through. That we will have more time together. Today, that hope was cut short as Ivy has joined Evergreen and gained her wings.

Ivy was never really affectionate to us. But we love her as much as our other rescues. Her stares during our final weeks together are forever etched in my heart. We hope she felt the love we have, and will always have, for her.

Fly high, our dearest Ivy. 'Til we see each other again, love.

While waiting for the 3rd eye drop that he needs, Chance has laid down between my thigh and leg. Tears were shed between me and Nanay because we cannot fathom how someone can hurt such an innocent being. (Not just Chance, but also Star and our other rescues.)

Chance would have to live the rest of his life fully blind. We couln't even explain to him why this happened, why he suddenly cannot see anymore. I just hope that he will know and feel how dearly loved he will be for the rest of his life as well.

27/01/2025

Chance is now home!!!

When we first got him and took him to the vet, I was honestly not that hopeful because of how devastating his situation was. His ordeal was especially difficult because he was not eating and had to be fed through a feeding tube.

But he fought through, and we are highly grateful for such a miracle. Unfortunately though, I was informed tonight by his vet that Chance is not able to see anymore. Still, we will make sure to take great care of him so he will feel loved despite not being able to see the world around him.

I would like to thank you everyone who helped, and who are continually helping, us help Chance. Thank you to Mutya (not our Mutya po haha) and her friend who saw Chance and informed us about him. Thank you to Doc Sweden for her expertise, patience, and kindness. Thank you to the Furr Project - QC team for their utmost care and compassion. Thank you to all of you who are extending your help for Chance, in any way you can.

Chance, together with the other rescues who were confined, still have remaining vet bills that we are hoping to pay. His journey will still be long, and we hope you could still be with Chance and with SoL. Your kindness means so much to us.

Chance 😃

This photo made me smile as I want to believe this is Chance smiling at us as well!

By grace, Chance is getting better and better. We really thought he would not make it but he is fighting through!

This is what your kindness can do. We hope you can keep supporting SoL. We badly need help with their vet bills as Chance, Lily, and Ivy are still confined and we also need to pay the remaining vet bills of Star, Mama Gem, and Tala.

Food funds is also until tomorrow, and we have to pay our balance to our supplier this week as well. Your kindness will always mean so much po to us.

❗️URGENT HELP NEEDED FOR SOL'S VET BILLS❗️

Hi, everyone. We are knocking on your hearts for the vet bills of the confined rescues of SoL.

Currently we have 3 confined tabbies at --- Chance ( stray cat hit on his head), Lily (pneumonia), and Ivy (suspected CKD). We have also recently brought home Star, Mama Gem, and Tala (just underwent dental prophylaxis). We also had to buy another vial for Mama Gem's meds, Whiskas Jr. for Lily, and we also have to purchase RC Renal for Ivy (hopefully today).

We badly need your help. Our rescues are fighting through. Please help us forward even a bit for the vet bills so we can lessen it today. I've been shouldering a lot for the food, but we still need your help. Your help counts a lot for the rescues of SoL.

4:29 AM. Katatapos ko lang linisin ang sugat ni Star, bigyan ng Retromad si Mama Gem, at icheck ang cats and dogs.

Talagang around 4 or 5 am saka lang kami nakakawind down ni Nanay. Saka lang namin mapapatay ang ilaw sa main cat room at makakapagready para matulog.

Si Nanay gigising nang 6 or 7 am ulit para pumunta ng wet market at mamili ng aming paninda pati ng pagkain ng mga a*o at pusa. Tuloy tuloy na siya hanggang hapon para maglinis, magpainom ng gamot, at magpakain.

Ako gigising nang mga 9 am or 10 am para asikasuhin na rin ang aming rescues. Maglilinis sa kanila, magpapainom ng gamot, magchecheck sa kanila isa isa. By 1 pm, gagawa na ako ng mga iba kong kailangan gawin. Mag-aaral, magaasika*o ng social media ng SoL, tutulong sa tindahan, magdadala sa vet pag kailangan, at iba pang bagay. Tapos magtatrabaho ako mula 8 pm to 3 am.

Si Tatay ang pinakafocus niya ay yung tindahan at yung 3 a*o na kasama niya dun. Yung kapatid ko ung mga a*o sa baba, pagtulong sa tindahan, at paglinis nang madaling araw.

Lahat kami less than 5 hours lang ang tulog sa bawat araw. Madalas makaramdam ng sakit ng katawan. Pero tuwing tatanungin ko si Nanay, Tatay, at kapatid ko if nagsisisi sila sa pagsuporta sa ginagawa ko, ang lagi nilang sagot ay di nila pagpapalit ang mga alaga namin para sa kahit anong halaga o para sa kahit sinong ibang tao.

Hindi kami perpekto. Kahit isa't-isa nasasaktan namin minsan, at di rin kami laging nagkakaintindihan. Pero pagmamahal lagi ang nakakapagpatuloy sa aming pamilya at sa Shelter of Light.

Hiling ko na isang araw, matupad ko ang pangarap namin na magkasarili nang lugar. The SoL Sanctuary. Mataas na pangarap, but I know the love we have here will be the fuel and rea*on para magkatotoo ito.

One of our bravest rescues, Star, is now home! 🌟🏘

What transpired with Star is nothing short of a miracle. When we first got her after she was deliberately hit by an unknown person, we were deep in worry with how grave her situation was. Her pelvic bone was shattered, she had hematoma, and there were even 3 dead kittens inside her. Her first operation was a long shot and euthanasia even became an option. After which, her wounds kept opening and the screws and plates that were placed kept moving. This led to her needing to undergo a second operation which resulted to the amputation of the affected leg and the removal of parts of her pelvis.

The duration of her confinement became a waiting game. All we could do is pray that she will make it. But Star is, without a doubt, a fighter. She remained steadfast with her will to keep on. She even remained so sweet.

Star still has a wound that we will have to clean and tend to daily. It will take some time before the wound completely heals. She will also have a follow up by next week. Nonetheless, Star being able to come home after all that happened is such a significant feat.

I am proud of Star. Truly an inspiration!

We would like to thank all those who have been, and are continually, with us in Star's journey. Thank you to my parents who did not hesitate to help Star when they first heard and saw her crying. Thank you to Doc Reign Zander for all his efforts for Star, for not giving up on her, for performing the surgeries against all odds, and for even doing the second operation free of charge. Thank you to the entire The Furr Project Animal Hospital team who have been so kind, patient, and hardworking in taking care of Star. Thank you to Mga pusa sa daan for helping us fundraise for Star (they will pay 20k directly to the vet). Thank you to every single one of you, our dear supporters and friends, who have helped in any way for Star.

We have a long way to go with regards to her vet bills (we will post the exact amount once we get it), but we will keep on, just like Star is doing. To those interested to help Star, our channels are open and you can pay directly to the vet. Please keep praying for Star as well. Maraming salamat po!

❗️URGENT HELP NEEDED FOR ONE OF THE ORIGINAL SOL CATS, TALA❗️

Hi, everyone. We are knocking on your hearts for our dearest Tala. We have to bring her to the vet today as she seems unwell and is not eating properly. She has history of gingivitis and she also has colds and a fever. Please help us bring Tala to the vet, she is one of the first batch of the rescues of SoL. We are currently still struggling especially since we brought Lily to the vet as well the other day so your help truly means a lot po 🙏

🌟 SoL Updates 🌟 Please read until the end.

💛 Star and Chance remain confined at Furr Project - QC. Thankfully, they are both doing well currently given their circumstances. Star is consistently eating well and her wound is healing properly. Chance is not yet eating on his own and has to be fed through a feeding tube, but his bleeding, inflammation, and swelling continue to be reduced. We pray that their situation will pursue to improve, it may just take a long time, so we truly need all the help we can get for them.
💛 The kittens thrown in a sack also received their first deworming today. We hope that they would also continue to be well so we can get them vaccinated and hopefully find their will-be forever family this year.
💛 Mama Gem has also went home last week, but she is on meds still. She is eating well but we are still observing her as Mama Gem is one of our oldest and therefore one of our most fragile.
💛 We also persist to strengthen the immune system of the rescues. We will also deworm them before January ends or at the start of February as most of them need to be vaccinated with their yearly boosters of 4-in-1 and ARV. The dogs have already received their yearly 5-in-1, except for Akira as she is quite aggressive still.
💛 Visits will open in the SoL home this February, with only limited slots.
💛 For our vet bills, our focus now is to pay Vetlink our balance of 10k which we promised we will pay this January. For Furr Project, the last count was P72,064. This was reduced by P1,260 from us, by P35k from Ms. Cindy, and Mga Pusa sa Daan was also able to raise P20k for Star, making this P15,804. We will forward P5k more when I am able to visit. This will then be increased by the bill of Mama Gem, and then Star (confinement) and Chance. We hope to clear all the bills early this year.
💛 Food funds are also until this week and bills are coming in, so your help towards it will also mean so much to us. This is our most urgent need.
💛 Thank you to everyone for your continuous support to SoL. It means so much to us especially as an independent effort. All the love!
