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.

June 2024

Dear animal lover, please remember: Protect your pet! Light skin or skin with little hair is particularly sensitive to the sun. In dogs and cats, this primarily affects the ears, nose, area around the eyes, and back. For animals that like to lie on their backs in the sun, the belly is also at risk of sunburn. Protect your pets with:

  • Shady spots
  • Sunscreens

Not every white animal necessarily needs sun protection in the form of creams. However, if there are pre-existing conditions or a hypersensitivity, you should protect your animals specifically from further damage. First aid for animal sunburn: Cooling compresses or soothing ointments can alleviate initial symptoms. If it is a very severe burn and/or the area is infected, a veterinarian should be contacted. Pre-existing conditions make the skin sensitive. Sun exposure can even worsen an existing condition in some cases. Therefore, conscientious sun protection is essential for animals with autoimmune skin diseases. Also, skin areas that were previously hairy and suddenly become bald, such as scar tissue after surgeries or injuries, should be monitored and specially protected if necessary.
