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

Cat neutering in Doppelschwand (LU)

December 2024

Apparently, word has spread among the stray cats in Doppelschwand (LU) that they won’t be shooed away at the W. family’s home. However, the family felt a bit overwhelmed when not one but two mother cats with kittens showed up, seeking shelter (and especially food).

We were happy to help by spaying the two "moms" to ensure that the number of cats feeling at home with the W. family doesn’t grow infinitely.

As adorable as young kittens may be, they eventually grow up and have kittens of their own, which also need care. We’re very glad that the W. family "pulled the emergency brake" and reached out to us for help.

We’re delighted by their lovely feedback:
"I just picked up the two stray moms from the vet clinic. They’re doing well and immediately dashed off... Thank you so much for your quick and uncomplicated help. We are very grateful. In the meantime, we’ve also found a new home for the kittens.
Wishing you a joyful Advent season and warm regards, J. W."

So far this year, we’ve helped approximately 850 times to ensure that cats can no longer reproduce and thereby reduce the suffering of stray cats in Switzerland.

A heartfelt thank you to all animal lovers who support us with their donations and to all animal welfare-oriented veterinarians who accommodate us with discounted rates!
