Spay / neuter campaigns Switzerland

neutering feral cats -
no more killing of unwanted kittens

In many Swiss regions live feral cats, which belong to nobody and give birth twice a year. Normally these kittens become feral and nobody cares about them - in the end such cat colonies are killed with often cruel methods.
It is therefore not enough simply to feed such cat colonies or individual feral cats - real animal welfare is to catch feral cats, have them neutered and then (if possible) release them back into their familiar environment (and continue to care for them).

The Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation supports active animal lovers who want to castrate homeless cats.

Our work of the pillar "Spay / neuter campaigns Switzerland" contains:
- Cooperation with veterinarians throughout Switzerland for cat neutering campaigns
- Assumption of neutering costs for farm colonies and feral groups
- Rental of cat and dog traps
- Brochure "Cat castrations = active animal protection"
- Educating the population about this topic through posters and flyers
- Feed donations for feral colonies and farms

Tackling the problem at its root...

February 2024

In Switzerland, too, far too many unwanted baby cats are still being killed in agony.
Farm and allotment garden colonies or even private holdings can quickly get out of hand...
...which is exactly why SUST-CATFORCE was founded.
However, the support of SUST-CATFORCE does not end with the implementation of neutering campaigns.
Real animal welfare means continuing to support these pets and their caretakers after a neutering campaign. 
Last week, a SUST-Catforce team was deployed to distribute another 21 cats from a private home with originally 90 animals to 3 different SUST partner animal shelters for further placement.
All the cats were calmly and safely cared for and transported in their transport boxes.
Some of the cats have already "thawed out" in the shelter and are already demanding their cuddles (see picture).
Thank you for making it possible to get to the root of one of the "hidden" Swiss animal welfare problems with your donations.
