Slowing down the animal misery: SUST is tackling it sustainably

Hundreds of thousands of street dogs and cats fight for survival in many countries, countless of them are trapped and many of them vegetate in terrible conditions, while new unwanted offspring are constantly being born. The suffering of unwelcome dogs and cats is endless in many countries.
Neutering is the only way to reduce the overpopulation of street animals in a long-term and animal-friendly way. Thousands of dogs, cats and other animals have already been operated on by the Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation in various countries. This measure has prevented countless unwanted offspring from being born. Such actions have a future: no more emaciated mothers on the streets, no more famine and no more sexually transmitted diseases, in which the animals die miserably.
 
If the number of street animals is reduced, no more cruelty to animals will be tackled: no more poisoning, no more slaughtered animals, no more shooting. In this way the animal misery is slowed down, slowly but steadily and sustainably.
 
The area of the pillar "neutering campaigns" includes:
 
- Collaboration with veterinarians all over Switzerland for cat neutering campaigns
- takeover of the neutering costs of stocks from farms and feral groups
- Rental of cat and dog traps
- Brochure "Cat neutering = active animal protection
- informing the population about this topic by posters and leaflets
- Discussions with authorities and politicians
- Training and further training of specialized personnel for the execution of neutering campaigns
- Implementation of neutering weeks in various countries by SUST teams
- Financing of neutering campaigns in different countries
 
The activities of the Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation are financed exclusively by donations and legacies (no public support).
 
Donate for the spay/neuter campaigns of the Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation
These many operations are very effective, but cost a lot of money and therefore we need your help and support: Give hope and instead of the usual gifts, give one (or more) animal (s) the hope for a better life! A neutering gives an animal many advantages and does no longer contribute to the overpopulation of unwanted animals.

Help for animals of people affected by poverty

May 2023

A special commitment is the SUST social work for animals:
Many people affected by poverty have an animal by their side as their only partner, but can hardly afford the upkeep or even veterinary care for their four-legged friend. This is a Swiss problem that hardly anyone talks about: untreated diseases, lack of parasite treatments and also unwanted offspring (due to lack of finances for neutering) are the sad consequences and affect the lives of both animal and pet owner. Many health problems could be solved in their early stages if these people had a contact person for the problems of their animals; however, often they and their animals do not get access to veterinary practices because they lack the financial means or the people are unwelcome as addicts. The result of this is: the animals suffer in silence for months or years until they eventually often have to be put down.
The Susy Utzinger Foundation for Animal Welfare cooperates with alley works, animal boards, social welfare offices and integration projects throughout Switzerland and supports these animal owners on various levels:
- Feed deliveries: SUST delivers animal feed to its partners for free distribution to pet owners affected by poverty.
- Veterinary care: SUST veterinarians are regularly at various locations in Switzerland. These missions provide first aid and treat, vaccinate, deworm animals.
- Neutering: SUST covers the costs for dog and cat neuterings at its partner veterinarians.
- Material donations: The SUST delivers animal utensils to its partners in Switzerland so that these materials can be given free of charge to marginal animal owners.
- Education and prevention: With its well-founded expertise, the SUST (or the SUST veterinary team on the occasion of consultation hours) educates animal owners about topics relevant to animal welfare by means of brochures or in personal conversations and thus helps to avoid dangerous situations for the animals.
