The role of animal protection in Lower Saxony
The situation of abandoned cats is part of a larger problem. A campaign for the free castration of stray cats starts in Lower Saxony on November 2nd and runs until December 14th. The aim of this initiative is to neuter, label and register around 4,000 feral domestic cats and tomcats. This represents an important step in combating uncontrolled proliferation.
Michaela Damrich, the state representative for animal protection, highlights the positive results of previous campaigns, which have already led to the castration, identification and registration of 7,420 found cats. The Animal Welfare Association of Lower Saxony and numerous organizations support the campaign financially, and veterinarians are also committed. You donate 25 euros back per treatment, which further finances the campaign. Animal protection Lower Saxony provides comprehensive information on these initiatives.
The local community is encouraged to treat pets responsibly. Neutering your own cats and microchipping them can help ensure that such sad incidents as the cat being abandoned in our area do not happen again. Animal protection is a task that concerns us all, and volunteer help at the animal shelter is always welcome!
