Meet Evita
Behind every rescued cat is Evita — a certified animal veterinarian who made the extraordinary choice to dedicate her life fully to caring for Latvia’s most vulnerable stray cats.
She doesn’t just treat them — she feeds them, comforts them, stays up through cold nights with them, and fights for every single life. Ķepu Draugs isn’t just a shelter. It’s Evita’s home, heart, and mission.
With your help, she can keep going.
Animals feel pain too, and they deserve a better life. Let joy grow — not suffering.
— Evita, Ķepu Draugs founder
