In many countries, animal rescues and sanctuaries are an accepted part of the culture. Yet, in other countries, they are a rarity.

In Vietnam, a country of over 96 million people, one woman who is doing all she can to raise awareness about the need for animal aid and rescue is Catherine Besch, founder of Vietnam Animal Aid and Rescue – US.

Catherine co-founded the organization in 2013 as Vietnam Animal Welfare Organization. After Cat and her co-founder split the organization into two separate entities, Vietnam Animal Aid and Rescue – US was born.

During our lively conversation, Catherine shared what it’s like to run a rescue organization in Vietnam.
