Why neutering makes so much sense

A single pair of cats can produce more than 12,000 offspring in five years. Why neutering instead of killing is the sustainable way forward in protecting street animals.

Why neutering makes so much sense

Some of the projects closest to our hearts are our neutering campaigns for street dogs and cats.

Street animals reproduce at a staggering rate: a single pair of cats can produce more than 12,000 offspring within five years, a true snowball effect. This uncontrolled reproduction leads to overcrowded shelters, more and more strays and often tragic scenes of starving and sick animals on the streets.

Instead of killing animals, a method sadly still practised in many countries such as Turkey, we rely on sustainable animal welfare through neutering. It effectively prevents uncontrolled reproduction and helps reduce the stray population in the long term. With our neutering projects, we create a sustainable solution and improve the animals' lives for good. It also reduces the spread of disease (including diseases that affect humans, such as rabies), territorial fights and unpleasant odours.

Our partners, Animal Soulmates e.V. and Fellnasen Stuttgart e.V., take care of the necessary infrastructure so we can work efficiently on site. Without this valuable support, projects like these wouldn't be possible for us.

We are also planning to run further large-scale neutering projects regularly, at least twice a year. Croatia, Montenegro and Italy are already on the horizon.

To make these important projects happen, we rely on your donations. Help us provide sustainable animal welfare and ease the suffering of street animals. Our team of veterinarians, veterinary nurses and dentists works on a voluntary basis and with full dedication for this valuable mission. 100% of your donations go to the animals.

Every donation helps us improve the lives of many animals and bring about positive change. Thank you so much for your support and your trust!
