The crisis is documented. We're not the ones documenting it.

This is a screenshot of a story published by someone else. WeHopePaws doesn't appear in it — the problem does.

  • Screenshot of the Instituto Ampara Animal article “Animal abandonment in Brazil: a problem that grows every year”, published on May 27, 2026, with a photo of an abandoned dog lying in a pile of trash. The opening paragraphs say millions of dogs and cats live in vulnerable situations every year, and cite Agência Brasil estimates of roughly 30 million abandoned animals in Brazil.

Why these cats need food today.

In rural Brazil, independent shelters and caretakers get no government support. They rescue cats from the streets, the cold, hunger and abuse — and keeping them fed is a daily struggle. That's where you come in.

Feeding a rescued cat — food, plus the vet care and basics around it — comes to about $6.99 a week. For the cats at one place we help, the vet bills alone have already added up to about $10,000. Multiply that across every hungry mouth and the cost quickly outgrows what these caretakers can cover.

When the food runs low, cats go hungry. Every bag you send goes to shelters and caretakers we choose by need, putting food in empty bowls — fast.

How your order helps

One order, four links in the same chain — from the bag we buy to the bowl an animal eats from.

  • Saving

    We pull animals off the street in Brazil. That part is our own hands.

  • Sheltering

    Independent caretakers give them a roof. Your order takes the food bill off them.

  • Feeding

    3 KG of food, bought by us and handed over at the gate.

  • Medicating

    With the food paid for, what is left in their cash box can go to vet care.

Filmed at the delivery

The clips below were filmed by the caretakers as each delivery arrived, and the payment receipt for that same delivery is on screen. Sensitive banking fields are blacked out. The audio is in Portuguese; the subtitles are burned in, in English.

  • May 2025 Pet food stacked at the gate it was delivered to, with the R$ 5,700 transfer to the supplier on screen. The supplier is paid by Resgaute, our operating partner in Brazil.
  • August 2025 The store receipt for that run, R$ 1,207.35, read line by line on camera, and then the load it paid for.
  • October 2025 A R$ 1,300.29 transfer to the pet food store, filmed next to the bags it paid for.

They only smile because someone like you didn't give up

"Behind every happy look in these photos there was hunger, fear and pain. What changed everything was someone deciding to help. Today, that someone can be you. Send food now and make one more smile come to life."

Angels of Minas Refuge

Ms. Aparecida teaches in public school all day and, with the little she has left, supports more than 60 animals in the countryside of Minas Gerais. She has saved lives the world had thrown away, but the food runs out long before the month ends.

Brave Heart Shelter

For 18 years, Ms. Marlene and Mr. Sebastião have opened their home to those no one else wanted. Today more than 90 lives are in their care, all dreaming the same dream they do: a world without abandonment.

Brave Heart Shelter

United Paws Home

Mother and daughter, Cláudia and Beatriz made rescue a family mission in Tambaú. Together, they have already given a home and a second chance to more than 105 abandoned animals, but they can't keep going alone.

Who we are

Janete da Silva holding a rescued puppy at one of the places we deliver food to
Janete da Silva Runs our operation in Brazil

My name is Janete da Silva. I live in Brazil and, since January 2025, I have been pulling animals off the street and taking food to the shelters and independent caretakers we help. I am the one who buys the bags, loads them into the car and hands them over at the gate.

The mechanism is simple on purpose: we buy pet food and deliver it to independent shelters in the Brazilian countryside. The people who pay for it are customers in countries where $9.97 is the price of two coffees — and here, that same $9.97 is a week of food for two rescued animals.

In February 2026 we formalized the company, because what a stranger on the internet promises is worth exactly what you can check. The registration number below is a public record: it is there so you can check us without having to ask us for anything.

Business Tax ID 65.257.069/0001-40

  • Payments are processed by Stripe, which verifies the legal identity of every business it onboards.
  • On your card statement this shows up as WEHOPEPAWS.ORG.

Where the food goes

1 2 3
  • Countryside of Minas Gerais
  • Tambaú, São Paulo
  • Tatuí, São Paulo

These are the areas our deliveries reach: the states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais, in southeastern Brazil. The markers are approximate on purpose — many caretakers work out of their own homes, so we publish the town and the state and never the address. We are not affiliated with, and do not represent, any specific shelter, charity or institution.

What is a Business Tax ID?

It is Brazil's federal business registration number — the equivalent of a US EIN or an EU VAT number. In Brazil this registry is called the CNPJ, and it is public: anyone can look a company up and see its registered name, its address and the date it was registered.
