A 50-year-old Ukrainian woman has found a new purpose in life: Rescuing wild animals and pets from the front lines of the war in Ukraine. In cooperation with an animal protection group, Natalia Popova has saved more than 300 animals; 200 of them were evacuated abroad. Many were wild animals kept as pets at private homes before their owners fled Russian shelling and missiles. Popova’s shelter in the Kyiv region village of Chubynske now houses a menagerie that includes 13 lions, a leopard, a tiger, three deer, wolves, foxes and raccoons, as well as domesticated animals like horses, donkeys, goats, dogs and cats. Ukrainian soldiers joke that Popova has many lives, like a cat.
She built an enclosure and took in the lion the next morning, paying the owner. Later, Popova created a social media page titled “Help the Lioness,” and people began to write asking for help saving other wild animals.
The shelter is just a temporary stop for the animals. Popova rehabilitates them and then looks for new homes for them. She feels a special connection with each big cat, but says she does not mind letting them go.
