Putting the passion in compassion, Alaa Amr, our Inbound Account Manager inspires us with her love for animals and reminds us of the importance of understanding and living in harmony with these beautiful souls.

“I discovered my love for animals 10 years ago when my friend’s cat gave birth, and I received one of the kittens. I was a little indifferent at the beginning, but thought I would give it a go. Little did I know it would turn into an obsession. Now, a decade later, I dream of opening an animal shelter to help these beautiful creatures find the homes they deserve.”

Alaa actively reports animal abusers and saves strays from people, who attempt to poison them. “You have to be compassionate and connect with these animals, they have souls, and it’s not their fault. Those who adopt, their pets aren’t pets; they’re part of the family as any other member.”

She continues, “I would like to remind people that during these difficult times, it is important to remember that animals do not carry the COVID-19 virus. I see people abandoning their pets under the misconception that they may become infected. Animals are safer than all of us.

Alaa concludes with advisory words of wisdom: “I think one of the best decisions new parents can take is to provide their babies with pets. It teaches responsibility, love, and kindness instead of aggression. It’s simpler than people think once you start.

Cats can be a little less demanding than dogs in my view. It’s good to remember that cats (and most pets) will adapt to their owners, so don’t be surprised if you see yourself in your furry best friend”.
