Consisting of the Pritzwalk Animal Welfare Association and the private initiative "Prignitzer Katzenkinder in Not," we have been working for years in the Pritzwalk area, helping with unwanted, abandoned kittens, stray cats, their neutering, and finding homes for them. In regular press articles, we call for neutering, help capture animals, and support people who can no longer care for their pets due to health or financial reasons. Especially in rural areas, the stray cat problem is unfortunately still often ignored by cities and municipalities, and people seeking help there are usually fobbed off. As a result, animals from within a 50-km radius now end up with us. Every year, we neuter 120-200 cats and take in around 200 stray animals, many of them kittens. We are just a small group of 5-7 people who are constantly working actively and voluntarily, and we are constantly reaching our limits. Values For us, animal welfare means not only reducing reproduction, but also and above all helping animals when they need it. This includes finding a suitable home, as well as providing them with nutrition and veterinary care in the event of illness. A homeless, poorly fed, abandoned animal suffers from parasitic infestation and infections much more often than a cared-for and vaccinated animal. A shy, disturbed animal that may have had bad experiences with humans often takes a long time to regain trust. But animal welfare also means educating people, raising public awareness of the problem, and working with them to find solutions. Daily Work Caring for the animals, including veterinary visits, socialization, capturing strays, discussions with authorities and municipalities, placement discussions, submitting funding applications, and public relations work. We are currently setting up a large outdoor enclosure for strays who are no longer allowed to return to their home after neutering. We're also expanding our shelters. A new cat house is being built, as well as a heated area for motherless kittens, sick, injured, or weak animals.
