Welcome to ESMA!
The Egyptian Society for Mercy to Animals
Dear ESMA supporters past, present and future
(please forward extensively),
ESMA, The Egyptian Society for Mercy to Animals, asks you to join us achieve a historic event for the cause of animal welfare in
Thanks to the generosity of a special donor we have a chance to buy our own land on which to build our permanent shelter and clinic to provide desperately needed care for dogs, cats, work and farm animals. The one acre plot is located in a peaceful green area on the outskirts of
Our aim and dream is to build this shelter, not just to house and care for the animals as we currently do in our rented facility (179 dogs and 123 cats), but also to incorporate a free clinic for the working animals belonging to the poor people of the local community who rely on them to make a living. We will also have space for donkeys and horses, and for those of you who live in or have ever visited Egypt you will know that these poor working animals are almost always overworked and overloaded, often resulting in painful wounds - and worse - and going untreated, due to the lack of free and/or affordable clinics.

Currently, ESMA, like every other companion animal shelter in
If neighbors complain about the noise, we could face eviction.
-
Constant threat of our rent being raised, since this is something the landlord can do easily with every rental term renewal.
-
We cannot justify a high quality clinic on the rented land because we would lose it at the end of the lease term.
-
Lack of long term stability
Severe overcrowding in our current location: the new land is more than double the size. Nevertheless, we currently still admit all critical cases.
Because we aim to be self sufficient one day, we also plan to:
Incorporate boarding facilities to help us cover our monthly expenses
Build a small living area for visiting vets and volunteers, for rent
Establish a gift shop on the premises with the proceeds going right back to our shelter
The owner of the land is only willing to hold this property for 30 days, so we need to act quickly and raise the $9,000 down payment by no later than Help us make our dream become a reality!
We will honor $100 donors on a special "DONOR'S WALL" in the new shelter. Donors of $500 or above, will be honored with their name on a plaque on one of the kennels and receive a photo. Ms. Olive Walker will MATCH the $9,000 raised with your help and we will finally be able to purchase the land!!!
Look at me!!! Thanks to your support I can stand up now (just for a little while I still haven't completely recovered yet). Please, please help ESMA buy the piece of land so I can run there, you can come visit me there too!!! Love, Angel
