Brave Mum's Home: The Hong Kong Shelter Saving Strays Against All Odds
Introduction
In the heart of Hong Kong's New Territories, one woman's unwavering love for stray animals has sparked a movement. Meet Annie Wong, founder of Brave Mum's Home for Stray Cats and Dogs—a sanctuary fighting daily to give overlooked local mixed-breeds a second chance. After quitting her job in 2017 and draining her savings—and even her retirement fund—Annie now cares for over 150 animals. Her journey is far from easy, but her generosity shines through every sacrifice she makes.
Picture this: Annie moving through the kennels at dawn, tending to elderly dogs with wobbly legs and cats with scarred pasts. These are Hong Kong's forgotten strays, the ones too often left behind. To Annie, they're not just animals—they're family. "These animals are Hong Kong's responsibility," she says. "They're not trash to discard."
A Mission Built on Compassion
Founded in 2017, Brave Mum's Home focuses on three pillars:
-
Sterilization: Annie spays and neuters strays to curb overpopulation, tackling the root of Hong Kong's stray animal crisis.
-
Rehoming: She finds loving homes for abandoned or injured animals, proving every life has value.
-
Education: Through outreach, she shifts attitudes toward "adopt, don't shop," inspiring compassion over commerce.
Unlike larger NGOs, Annie prioritizes Hong Kong's invisible strays—older, disabled, or traumatized animals others might overlook. Her shelter is a lifeline for those society has cast aside, and her hands-on approach reflects a generosity that goes beyond words.


A Test of Resilience: The 2022 Relocation
Annie's dedication isn't just talk—it's action. In 2022, Brave Mum's Home faced a major hurdle when land disputes forced the shelter to relocate. With over 100 animals in tow, the move to a new site in Ta Kwu Ling was a logistical nightmare. Yet Annie didn't flinch. She rallied supporters, coordinated volunteers, and dug deeper into her own pockets to make it happen. This wasn't just a relocation—it was a testament to her relentless spirit.
The numbers paint a stark picture: the SPCA reports over 10,000 stray animals are euthanized in Hong Kong annually. Annie's work offers a vital alternative, and her willingness to risk everything for these animals underscores her extraordinary generosity.
How Furry Green Pets Supports Them
Furry Green Pets, a Hong Kong-based eco-conscious pet company, is proud to stand by Annie's side. Here's how we help:
Corporate Volunteering Events
We organize volunteering days with partners like the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, where teams prepare sustainable meals for Annie's animals. Picture volunteers chopping veggies and mixing grains—hands-on help that delivers food and hope. These events spotlight the power of collective action, easing Annie's load while connecting people to her mission.
Donation Schemes
Through our donation scheme, we donate an extra 2 kg of eco-friendly pet food to Brave Mum's Home for every 2 kg sold at $198. This has delivered thousands of meals to the shelter, giving Annie breathing room to focus on care rather than costs.
Sustainability in Action
By upcycling food waste into nutritious pet food, we reduce environmental impact while fueling Annie's work—a win-win for animals and the planet. It's a sustainable cycle that mirrors Annie's own resourceful spirit.
