Fair shelter in need: urgently wanted 500,000 euros for renovation!
Feucht, Deutschland - The Feucht animal shelter near Nuremberg faces enormous challenges and urgently calls for financial support. The renovation of the dilapidated flat roofs is essential to improve the very impaired situation of the shelter. The estimated costs for this renovation amount to around 380,000 euros, which is unaffected for the facility, which is financed exclusively through donations and membership fees. In addition, the veterinary office is calling for the construction of an insulating station and an infirmary for cats, which would cost another 100,000 euros. Overall, the urgently needed investments add up to around 500,000 euros. A fire report has also been commissioned, which costs 25,000 euros.
The animal shelter houses between 500 and 600 animals annually, all of which have to be supplied. In order to meet these financial challenges, the shelter started a call for donations. Initial successes have already been achieved through media attention. Further information about the required donations is available on the homepage of the shelter, and donation accounts can also be viewed there.
animal levies and increasing loads
In addition to the structural problems, the shelter also has to deal with an increasing number of animal levies. Older people in particular who can no longer take care of their pets due to rising veterinary costs are increasingly giving up their animals. This development coincides with an increase in taxes that was observed after Corona pandemic. A particularly unfortunate example is the Persian cat Angie, which was saved from a agony and is dependent on daily inhalations due to health problems.The situation in the Feucht animal shelter is therefore extremely tense. In order to ensure the survival of the facility, any financial support is urgently needed. Those responsible appeal to the community to help help in order to enable the necessary measures to save animals and the ward. The support of the citizens could take a big step towards a safe and functional shelter.
