And all of this is only possible because of your support.
  • By the beginning of October 2025, we had already been able to neuter 752 cats in Switzerland.
  • Our veterinarians cared for 1654 animals as part of SOFT (social work for animals) and we helped
  • 14 Sorgentierli and SaveMyLife cases that would have had little chance without your help.
2024 was equally impressive
  • 261 pallets of animal feed were distributed free of charge to 95 organizations.
  • The SUST was able to finance 97 rescue operations for farm animals carried out by the GTRD.
  • 3,666 amphibians were safely escorted across the road.
  • 481 animals belonging to indigent owners received veterinary care during 26 consultation sessions.
  • And 227 volunteers actively stood by our side.
In our SUST-OAHs, we were able to treat an incredible 13,434 animals and neuter 7,220 in 2024 – each and every one of them a life full of hope that you made possible.
And overall, in 2024 we were able to neuter 23,271 animals worldwide.
These figures represent our 25 years of sustainable animal welfare in this anniversary year – and a community that doesn't look away when animals need help.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a part of this.
You can find more impressive facts and insights in our Annual reports.
