Prague residents over the Christmas holidays donated five tonnes of cat and dog food, both dried and canned, plus snacks to a well-known animal shelter in Troja, the Municipal police confirmed on Tuesday.
On Christmas Day alone, some 3,000 people visited, the police said in a press release. According to the shelter, several dogs were adopted.
Around 3,000 dogs and 1,500 cats arrive at the shelter annually; most of the dogs are successfully returned to their owners, the shelter said.
The canines are housed in Troja, while the felines are placed at a facility in Dolních Měcholupy across the city.
People donated also warm bedspreads, bowls, leashes, toys and CZK 27,000 in cash.
