ברוכים הבאים לדף של בית המחסה שלנו!

בית המחסה ממוקם ברחובות. אנחנו מחזיקים כלבים וחתולים
חלקם חברותיים ביראים ומיועדים לאימוץ

אנחנו לא ממיתים בעלי חיים בריאים ולכן בית המחסה תמיד מלא
ואיננו קולטים בעלי חיים מהציבור בין אם נמצאו או היו בבית

בית המחסה פועל במסגרת עמותת ראשון אוהבת חיות
מתקיים מתרומות ומהשקעה אישית של מייסד בית המחסה

נכון

להיום בית המחסה נמצא בקשיים כלכליים ואנו זקוקים לתורמים ומתנדבים

Welcome to our page! For that reason the shelter is overcrowded and we do not accept animals from the public, whether they are found or come from a home. The shelter functions under the non-profit organization Rishon Loves Animals, and is funded through donations and personal income from it's founder. At the moment our shelter is undergoing a financial crisis. We are urgently looking for sponsors and volunteers.

Rizzy, Locky, Oz , Juno and Bona at the adoption event of Rishon Loves Animals. Wish us luck

25/10/2024

Yesterday, we took a walk in Leumi Park in Ramat Gan with Yuno, Bona, Rizi, and Loki. The wide open spaces, fields, grass, scents, and… ducks. Bona tried her hardest to chase the ducks, getting frustrated whenever the leash held her back.

The dogs were curious, although occasionally a bit tense from the noise. There were a lot of people and dogs in certain spots, but they handled it wonderfully. Some passersby gave attention to the dogs and showered them with compliments.

Thanks to Zhenya for the initiative, and to Lev and Asaf for joining in, even with such a short notice.

If you also want to help us with walks or take photos with our animals to help them find homes, leave your details here:

For our overseas friends, we are considering adoptions outside Israel.

Our cats had a special morning today thanks to Ludmila and Boris who came and brought gifts.

The cats were most excited by the fish, quite unexpectedly ).

This coming Friday, October 18th, in the canyon of the city of Beer Yaakov, there will be a dog adoption day from 11:00 to 13:00. Dogs from the municipal shelter in Sderot will be brought, as the situation there is difficult due to military actions, and many dogs are in need of a home. Come, they will be waiting for you.

For more details, call: 050-2101786 (Ofra, Hebrew or English).

How wonderful it is to receive news from home.

This is Dubi and his family. Dubi recently turned 18 years old, and just two days ago, they celebrated four years together.

Dubi was about to be euthanized at the municipal pound due to his age, which is how he ended up in the shelter. At first, he would p*e in the house and even tried to bite his owners a couple of times with his toothless mouth. There were doubts and many questions, especially since this was their first dog. But in the end, this small, elderly dog managed to fill their home with joy, overflowing through the roof.

“Dubi is the best thing that has ever happened to us,” Oren once wrote to me.

A big thank you to Oren and his family for not being afraid of the challenges and for giving Dubi a happy life.

Today it’s Vini’s birthday (according to papers). Apologies for the note of sadness, but it’s impossible without it. This is already her seventh birthday in the shelter.

Winter sent Vini a congratulatory card in the form of a light morning rain, as if apologizing in advance for the cold and downpours to come.

Our beautiful and wonderful Vini. I really hope you get lucky, and this winter you will spend in your new home with people who will cherish you. And perhaps, just a little, regret that they didn’t find you sooner.

We have received a new batch of non-clumping litter made from compressed wood shavings. By purchasing it from us, you will be supporting the shelter. The minimum order for delivery is 4 packages, priced at 85 NIS per package, within the Tel Aviv - Rehovot area, or you can pick it up yourself from Rehovot.
You can place your order through the link:

The other day was a good day. Although no one was adopted, the dogs had an interesting and eventful day. They received lots of attention and met new volunteers. We made a lot of new videos and photos that will help with promotion.
It’s very beneficial for the dogs to get out of the shelter, explore new places, and interact with new people.
All of this was made possible thanks to Noga, Zhenya, Tanya, Sasha, and Shira, who helped us with transportation and care for the dogs on the site, as well as the team of volunteers organizing adoption days.
A big thank you to everyone involved!

Another little rescue was found in a car that pulled up at the pet store in Nes Ziona. The weather was scorching, and the engine was blistering hot, burning hands on contact. The kitten, terrified, tried to evade capture. She darted out from the engine and, fortunately, did not run wildly across the parking lot but instead took refuge in the nearest wheel, where she was finally caught.
It took a collective effort to rescue her, and thankfully, a compassionate family among the onlookers agreed to provide temporary foster care, though they couldn’t adopt her due to the presence of an aggressive cat at home.
We urgently seek a permanent home for this little miracle. She is about one month old and eats independently. She still doesn’t have a name. New parents, please come forward.

Good morning,

Saturday is a great day to adopt a cat.

Many friendly and affectionate kitties are waiting at our shelter for their families.

Come by and fall in love! It won't be hard. Choosing just one will be the challenge.

By adopting a cat, you take on responsibility, including financial.

You'll need to make your home safe for your new little adventurer.

You'll change one furry friend’s life for the better, and also help free up our resources for others.

The adoption process begins with an introductory meeting at the shelter. Can be more than one if you need time to think.

Then we meet at your home to discuss cat safety. Any issue can be resolved, except for falling out of a window. In the worst case, our animals always have the option to return to the shelter.

Adoption takes place at a veterinary clinic, where the cat will be examined and health care questions will be discussed.

Come by; we’re waiting for you.

If you live outside of Israel, and would like to adopt one of our cats we will gladly consider it.

I stayed late at work a few days ago. A cat was walking in the underground parking lot, and a kitten with its intestines was running behind her...
So, I went to the shelter and came back with a trap. The kitten wasn’t there anymore. I did find the other cat and so i decided to wait. Our hero has appeared. I set him a table, or rather a trap with canned goods and sardines. It was followed with no interest on his behalf. The kitten decided to put to the test who has more patience. It turned out that I have.
The baby was operated on at noon of the next day. As the doctor said, just putting his intestines in place won't work, since it will fall out again. Thus, in these situations the intestines are sewn to the abdominal cavity. This is a standard procedure, and indeed the intestinal pop-out problem in street cats is not that rare too.
The operation cost 1500 Shekels, while we already have a huge debt for Bonnie’s treatments, which fortunately has been allowed to be broken into payments. Plus, old debts at the vet clinic are still not covered. If you can, take part in saving this baby, who was facing much suffering and the threat of death.
Oh, he also needs a name.

A short virtual walk around the shelter.
We have more than a hundred friendly and affectionate cats waiting for their family.
Winnie, Reesey, Loki, Oz, Sky and Grin will also be pleased to be with you.
Saturday is a great day to come and meet that someone who can change your life, and you - his.

Bonnie says hi. The catheter was removed three days ago, and an ultrasound was done. Let's hope that the danger is behind us.

This ginger was hiding next to a wall in the central canyon of Rehovot. More precisely, under a wall slab, where there was a hole into which he could climb.
The surroundings are a noisy place. Cars whistle and honk from all sides, adults are walking about their affairs in large numbers, packs of teenagers chatter cheerfully and loudly while running around.
Fear of death, thirst and hunger - the emotions with which evolution armed the redhead before laying on him the choice: to survive or to die in the circumstances at hand.
If you are a kitten, the last thing you need is to draw the attention of others. But there comes a moment when a scream of despair erupts from your throat. You will call mom, because you don't have anyone except mom in this world.
Several passers-by noticed the weeping wall. Someone brought and placed a bowl of water. Someone provided food. Nobody knows how much time the redhead spent in this place. A woman who handed me a food can said that there was another kitten, a black one, across the road, but that he had disappeared.
I spent several hours trying to lure the ginger into a trap with no success. The kitten ran out of his safe haven, ate and then rushed back to hide again. He got scared a couple of times by passers-by. Then the redhead decided to get on my nerves. He became hysterical and started running along the wall, after which he jumped on the glass display case and tried with no luck to get into the hole. And so, he ran across the road and hid under a car.
By that point, I had to go back to the shelter I run. Many thanks to Lena Steingart who agreed to come late in the evening to handle the trap. At this point, I had no hope of catching the kitten that evening.
I really don't know how Lena did it. But when I returned, the kitten was already trapped.
The next day, this red head transformed from a scared kitten into a composed gentle creature who demands attention and who is inclined to switch on his little purring motor. This motor is not broadcasting any longer to the entire world, but to you personally, that this ginger is right to be well and calm with you.
The most difficult part is to come up with a name for his redness and to find him a loving home.

Bonnie was released from the clinic a couple of days ago. Though the treatment is not over, and the conditions and options of care in the shelter aren’t comparable to those of the hospital, but we would have to settle for that.
Bonnie was due to get discharged earlier, but after the first trial of removing the catheter, it was revealed that the bladder was not airtight and was leaking into the abdominal cavity, so we had to return the catheter to give the area a chance to recover, and to keep Bonnie in the hospital for two more days to make sure that the fluid in the abdominal cavity was not accumulating when the catheter is in place.
While the doctors have decided not to do another surgery, on Thursday we shall head back to the clinic for check-ups, without knowing whether in that week it will already become possible to remove the catheter.
If you can, please help us pay for Bonnie's treatment.

Dear fellow cat lovers, you can support the shelter by ordering from us pressed wood shavings litter. Delivery is given within the Tel Aviv-Rehovot range, with a minimum of 4 packages per order, while the self-pick-up option is from Rehovot. The price is 80 NIS for 15 kg.
You can pay for the order at the link: https://app.icount.co.il/m/bfa03

Bonnie has had surgery. The photo shows stones removed from the bladder.
The surgeon said the bladder is in terrible condition and that he will have to leave the catheter for a couple more days, while keeping Bonnie hospitalized.
The surgery and the hospitalization will cost an extremely large amount, and any help will be very meaningful. A big thank you to everyone who’ll donate and to everyone who has already donated for Bonnie's treatment.

Good morning

This miracle of a kitten was rescued from the bushes on the dividing line of the road where he sat and meowed. Miracle (thusly named) was very hungry. Now he is playing, eating and sleeping. And is looking for a home.

Time goes by quickly . We just celebrated half a year since Ray found his home. I went to visit him with Winnie, with whom he spent five long years at the shelter. It was not possible to capture in footage how Ray was jumping on me with all his kilograms. So much so that I had to hold Winnie, who at first did not what’s going on and thought she needed to counter an attack of a big unknown dog. Then we took a long walk and looked for an empty dog playground to let them play. I listened to Ray being praised, while Winnie sniffed out unfamiliar smells and was rolling around the grass in excitement and tried her best to swim in the pond. We came back late, satisfied and tired. I think Winnie dreamed of Ray last night and he must have been dreaming of both of us.

Friends, Our situation is close to hopeless. The shelter is facing eviction. I've been looking for a new place for several months now and can't find it. All the options (and you can count those with the fingers of one hand), even the bad ones, are way more expensive than the rent we're paying today. The municipality of Rishon LeZion is trying to help us find a place, but this effort did not yield results so far. We don't have enough funds to cover the bare minimum: food and veterinary care, even without considering the move expenses. Our debts are not fully paid as well. We must find new sponsors. Our current supporters are simply caring people that contribute a monthly amount they can afford. If we succeed, the shelter will be able to move to a new location and survive. If not, I can't imagine the consequences, it will be a disaster... Vova Slutzky, a super talented filmmaker, helped us by making this video about the shelter, free of charge. Huge thanks to him and our adopting parents and volunteers, who agreed to take part in the movie! Please help us broadcast this video, share it with your friends and social networks. More ways to help the shelter: 1. Adopt an animal, or provide a temporary home for one (we can consider other counties for adoption). 2. Commit to looking after a cat that would be released in your yard if you have one and the place is safe for cats. This process will require an accommodation period. 3. Volunteer in the shelter. There is so much that needs to be done, both on the premises and remotely. 4. If you support the shelter, and don't mind going public, you can record a short video explaining why it is important to you to help us. I sincerely hope that with the help of caring people we will be able to save the shelter and its inhabitants from the looming danger. Sava Hmelnitski, founder of Rishon Loves Animals shelter

Many thanks to everyone who helped us pay for the treatment for Starlight. It makes me so happy to see her jumping and frolicking around. Without the surgery, it is unknown to what extent she would be able to use her leg and she would have probably remained limp for life. Unfortunately, we have not found a home for her yet, and the challenge at this point is to get her to gain weight and to ensure that not too much strain is exerted on her leg. There were a lot of unexpected expenses this month and on the last month. The operation done on Starlight is not fully paid yet, and we were allowed to split the total cost into payments (it's 3.5 thousand shekels + tests), Casper's hospitalization in Beit Dagan (4 shekels) has not got paid yet, whole his expensive treatment, FIP medicine, cost 50 shekels a day, the checkups of Max the cat cost 2 thousand shekels and this is not the complete list of our debts. If you are able to help, we would appreciate your support. Any amount will make a difference. https://shelterdiary.org/ru/help Thank you!

Starlight says hello. She still struggles to handle food, but other than that she's doing well. She has got a wardrobe and three cribs to choose from ) This is a temporary home, Starlight is looking for a family.

Kesem came to the clinic for a check up. The doctor praised him for his well-healing mouth. But he was unhappy that Kesem did not gain weight. Apparently it still hurts him to eat so he doesn't eat sufficiently. But overall he looks good. In a short whole we will be done with the antibiotic, get the vaccinations done and start looking for a home for the baby.

Starlight is sunbathing. And we have finally succeeded in finding dry food of her choosing, such that her majesty agreed to eat. She is a gentle and kind dog, probably a mix with Saluki, is waiting for her family to be
