For the second interview, we spoke with Marta Meliksetyan of Adel Foundation. At the interview date, the foundation worked across Armenia, prioritised requests from the regions and helped dogs and cats.
What to send immediately
- A video that clearly shows the animal’s condition.
- What happened, the exact location and how long the animal has been in that condition.
- The name and phone number of the person on site. The foundation did not accept anonymous requests.
- What you can do: stay reachable, transport the animal or pay for the trip, and help after discharge.
- Marta Meliksetyan’s contact at the interview date: WhatsApp +374 94 788 980. Messages were accepted in Armenian, Russian or English.
How help and fundraising were organised
A quick reply does not mean an immediate physical response: distance, weather, roads and an available driver all matter. Visible life-threatening conditions on video received the highest priority; abandoned former pets were also treated as urgent.
- The person reporting the animal was expected to remain reachable and help with transport or the cost of the trip.
- After treatment, the foundation might ask for foster care and help sharing the fundraiser.
- The described sequence was treatment, discharge note and official invoice, followed by a fundraiser opened by Marta.
- Parallel fundraisers for the same case were not used.
- Late reports, leaving before help arrived and self-treatment created the biggest problems.
This is Part 4.2
The neighbouring interviews are with Dingo Team and Dilijan Care. Compare the region, current capacity and the applicant’s role—not which group is “best”.
