Spay and Neuter for 2000 Cats in Romania

Dear Supporters and Friends,

Although the issue of abandoned dogs in Romania is well known, I would like to tell you about the situation that does not make its way into the media, abandoned kittens.

With the cost of spay/neuter being prohibitive for most Romanian citizens, they are regularly faced with the choice of whether to kill the offspring of their cats, or abandon them.  With the population of dogs decreasing in Romania, there are more cats than ever seen living on the roads and public places.  These kittens and cats are subject to disease, fighting, starvation.  

Romania Animal Rescue gives people the means to stop this cycle....spay/neuter with highly skilled veterinary teams that travel throughout the country to provide help.   Prevention is the key to end the suffering.

I would like to share this with you, sent from Anca in Craiova, 

"Why RAR spaying and neutering campaigns are so important?
Being involved in rescuing in Romania it is a hard task and all rescuers know how many things they sacrifice in order to help an enormous number of animals – and sometimes at the end of the day you might realize that you were not good enough to help enough animals.
From my point of view, RAR ‘s involvement in what concerns spaying and neutering campaigns was a major step to a new era, to a better life for animals and to a better educated population when it comes to stray dogs and cats.
It is overwhelming to know that people thousands of miles away are concerned and actively devoted to help Romania’s strays cause.
Since RAR started to collaborate with different Romanian NGOs and private persons a big number of spaying and neutering places were used for dogs and cats which used to deliver annually unwanted pups or kittens. These sustained efforts of donating money, mobilizing teams of professional vets, implementing the idea that IT IS NORMAL TO spay your cat, your dog led to a lower number of animals on streets.
I would like to thank all RAR donors and great people involved in this major project! Together we can change lives, we can stop the number of dogs or cats on streets, injured, hurt, thirsty, hungry, ill and so on. Attaching here also a few pictures of latest animals spayed / neutered with RAR ‘s help !With your support, we can continue to provide help so that there will be fewer abandoned or killed kittens. " 

Thank you with all our hearts for your contribution to RAR's spay/neuter program for cats!

Sincerely,

Nancy Janes
