Happy Paws is the first NGO in Malta that accepts donations in Bitcoin.
"More and more people are using Bitcoin as a way of payment so we made it possible to donate in this new currency. We are very grateful for every donation because it lets us offer free neutering for strays which helps to decrease the amount of abandoned animals on the streets in Malta," the NGO said.
Since it opened in 2008, Happy Paws has managed to neuter roughly 15,000 strays and treated over 50,000 animals, both private and stray.
The NGO also helps all kind of household animals by offering competitively priced veterinary services for private owners. For those on social benefits Happy Paws offers special discounts where medication is offered at cost price as well as a significant discount on the veterinary fee.
