About NIKA Charitable Foundation

The NIKA Charitable Foundation for Homeless Animals has been helping stray cats and dogs since 2011. What started as targeted aid to an abandoned shelter in Zelenograd has grown into a professional organization with systemic and long-term programs.

Today, with the support of caring people and partner companies, we help thousands of animals who have been left without a home, food, or human care. In our own shelters alone, more than 800 dogs and cats receive daily care, treatment, socialization, and a chance for a new life.

Our mission is to make a world where homeless animals are not an invisible problem, but a shared responsibility of society, business, and government.
