Young CEO devoted to animal welfare
So the HavePaws project was kicked off, beginning with a mobile app under the same name. How do you find stray cats, how does your neutering process work, and are there any challenges? Adding to that, the overwhelming number of stray cats in Việt Nam has gone beyond the ability of foster homes and animal shelters.
