You wouldn't imagine the things that have happened to me during these 15 years of animal rescue... This is one of them. Help me on this life-long mission. Please join me on Patreon:

The more I know people the more I love animals.

This story needed to be told because it will help us understand why Viktor does not make friends with all who wish to be his friends. Please respect his cautiousness as it protects his heart and his rescue. This is important. Thank you Viktor for sharing even the dark places of your journey to save the animals.

Having experienced a disconnect with people most of my life, I much prefer the company of animals. They don’t judge you, lie to to you or betray you.

Lets start with saying you are absolutley not a fool. You are the most decent, compassionate man with integrity who fights for the rights of animals. To me that is beyond amazing

Keep your chin up Victor, there are plenty of us who are genuine animal lovers. You do a wonderful job x

Betrayal is the most difficult emotion to deal with, because it undermines your confidence in your own judgement.

Psychological health problems unfortunately are too common to people. This is not your fault. You are real friends to travel so many miles just for someone's birthday !!!!!!!!!!! It's amazing 🐾💖

Thank You Viktor Larkhill for sharing this story with us. Very thoughtful, very poignant and leaves much to consider and think about. While I can't imagine what this would have been like to endure, it is very saddening that you had this happen to you, your friends and the vulnerable animals involved. I'm so proud that you had the bravery to confront this person and then go back to rescue the cats. You do amazing work👍💗🙏

Stay strong victor, take care of yourself. You do wonderful things in your work.

This girl was sick. Not from cancer, but sick anyway. You, and the others who tried to help her reacted as real friends. So, don't be sorry. Leave it behind and don't lose faith in people. Sometimes all of us have been betrayed from people we thought they were friends. But there are real friends too. By the way, one has not to try hard to get positive energy from you. We can get it just watching what you do for animals and for human beings every day! Be safe and happy😺💞

Such a sad story. I've been lied to--not by someone with Munchhausen, but such cruelty to trusted friends, is very hard to heal from. You are a remarkable person, Viktor

I can clearly see in Viktor's eyes that he is hurt. I feel for you Viktor and can imagine your hurt in this betrayal. That is why I am crazy about my dogs. There are few, if any, people you can trust. Thank you Viktor for your care for animals. You will be blessed abundantly.

I’m sorry that you went through this.

One of the greatest scams is to have one’s kindness taken for stupidity. Victims never quite get over being betrayed. But I guess the advantage is, a victim can prevent themselves from being hurt again. Viktor, thanks for sharing your tragic story. 😟

My heart goes out to you, Viktor. It is horrible to learn the truth about someone who has deceived you. I can relate.

My cousin died of cancer 2 years ago. Sarah would have been 49 this year. It makes me so upset when people say they are terminally ill when they are not. If Alex is still with us, she needs to seek medical help

The same thing happened to me.

This is so sad. There are some awful people in the world, but then we find people like you- you do so much for these animals. You are a blessing. I wish I was closer. I would love to help with the animals. We have 2 rescue dogs here..I hope these experiences don't ruin it for all the decent people out there willing to help. ❤

This is a rescuer's nightmare. Thank God you got the special needs cat back. I hope the other animals are OK.
