JAKARTA - A number of volunteers who are members of Let's Adopt Indonesia will provide care for stray cats in a number of bus stops that were damaged by rioters during a demonstration some time ago.

Carolina Fajar as Head of Operations Let's Adopt Indonesia said this movement was carried out because street cats were also victims of rioters. This is because people who usually feed or street feeders at certain stops are affected by the damage to these facilities.

"This activity to feed and drink for street cats has emerged because conditions on the ground are no longer safe," Carolina told VOI, Tuesday, September 2.

"Many street feeders can't come because of the demonstration. So street cats don't have food and they may be starving," he continued.

In addition to caring for food, Carolina also said it would monitor the condition of each cat. Because tear gas can affect animal health.

"If someone is found sick or injured, we will prepare first aid or we will take it to the veterinary clinic," he said.

Furthermore, Carolina said that currently many people want to participate in this volunteer program.

"Even from outside Jakarta, we want to participate in similar activities in their city. Even though we are currently focusing on Jakarta, we are ready to coordinate with friends in other cities for food supply as long as the situation is not yet safe," said Carolina.

"We hope this can be an example of a spontaneous but real movement that brings together friends who care about animals in taking care of these fur children at their most," he concluded.
