Pata Rât, Romania
SUST animal welfare helpers were active in May in Pata Rât, near Cluj-Napoca, a modern city in northwestern Romania and unofficial capital of Transylvania. Here, there are universities, a vibrant nightlife, and magnificent historical buildings.
In addition to these aspects, Cluj is also home to Pata Rât, a landfill site to the east of the city where, depending on the source, 1,500-2,000 people live in unimaginably poor conditions. They lack running water, electricity is scarce, there are no heating systems, and access to education and medical care is limited. These people literally live among garbage.
Naturally, there are also a tremendous number of animals living alongside them: dogs, cats, pigs, rats, birds. Many of these animals suffer from chronic illnesses, die from untreated diseases, or as a result of conflicts among themselves or with humans. In May, we deployed a team of SUST animal welfare helpers to Pata Rât, where we treated animals and performed neuterings.
During our missions, when possible, we also support affected people. In this instance, we decided to assist the youngest members of the community. We collected and distributed two pallets of goods to children in need.
Thank you for your donations—whether monetary or in-kind—for the children's goods, which, as shown in the video, are exactly where they are needed most.

The neutering campaign hasn't started yet, and we're already treating the first patient. The severely injured little one...
