Cats from Alexandria: how stray animals are accommodated in Belarus - discussed in Letuchka

In November 2026, there was a story about four stray cats from the agro-town of Alexandria (Shklovsky district), who lived in a box near the store and came to the farmstead of the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko. For the animals began to look for new owners. This story was talked about by the participants of the project “Flyer” on “SBTV”, writes sb.by. Liudmila Gladkaya, a columnist for the newspaper SB Belarus Today, said:

- In Alexandria, the head of state feeds homeless cats. The President’s team made a video about it – and it quickly spread across the network. In the comments, people literally said, "Give us a cat!" - there were incredibly many requests. In total, four kittens and cats appeared in history - they were dismantled in a matter of minutes. We asked how these pets now live, including the new owners in Smorgon and Zhabinka.

She continued:

The Grodno Regional Executive Committee helped to find the woman and family where one of the kittens has now found a home. So many people asked, “Do you still have stray cats and kittens?” As a result, the Grodno Regional Executive Committee even connected to the annex of homeless animals - and now helps find their owners.

Lyudmila Gladkaya stressed that this good initiative, started by our President, has already been continued – and the story will not end there.

So, the cat Mira found a house in the Smorgon district (it was taken by a student Maya Minkevich, the pet will live with her relatives in the village of Zabolotye). Another cat without a front paw Murku was sheltered by a resuscitation doctor Svetlana Dubovskaya from the city of Zhabinka. The fate of the remaining animals from this four was also told in social networks.

Grigory Azarenok, a political columnist for STV, noted:

- In the winter, Alexander Lukashenko said that shovel in hand and snow cleaning is the best means for beauty and youth. So the girls went and dug half of Minsk out of the snow. But now we haven't known how to solve the problem of stray cats for years, and it seems that it will soon be solved.

Chairman of the Standing Committee of the House of Representatives on Human Rights, National Relations and Media Nikolai Buzin drew attention to:

- If today we find the strength to talk about our smaller brothers, if dogs and cats are the maximum problem in Belarus, then we are going the right way. So the whole security sphere that we have been building for decades exists in our country. There are forces, there are means, there is managerial influence. Thank you for this to our country and our leader.
