Greetings and a very Happy New Year to you!
2015 was an extremely productive year, our best yet, thanks to support from wonderful donors who understand the importance of spay and neuter! Romania Animal Rescue spayed and neutered approximately 3000 cats in 2015, with a grand total of spays and neuters nearing 10,000 for the year (cats and dogs), and over 43,000 since we began spay and neuter. Thanks to YOU, its working!
Now for some SUPER news. Romania Animal Rescue (RAR) has joined in a campaign with NetAp, Switzerland, and Family Vet, Romania, to do feral cat trap neuter and return in Bucharest and Craiova, Romania. The goal of this project is to have less suffering and starving cats and kittens, and to stop the cycle of unwanted births.
The other SUPER news is the construction of our new Romania Animal Rescue Spay/Neuter Center, Homeless Animals Hospital, Education Center, and Veterinary Training Camp Headquarters, along with the launching point for HOPE, our mobile spay clinic. The Center location is being built just outside of Bucharest and will serve communities in a 100 km radius. This state of the art center will provide free spays and neuters and vet care for those who cannot afford to pay and homeless animals, subsidized spay and neuters and vet care, and vet services for hire to help us raise funds for more work and to pay salaries for vets and techs.
We are asking for help to build the Center at the cost of $20 per virtual brick. The costs include the building of the Center itself, the purchase of equipment such as tables, cages, lights, instruments, xray machine, ultrasound, etc. Please help us spread the word and ask your friends to invest in the future for Romanian animals to stop the suffering. If all goes to plan, and if we receive the required funds, we hope to have the ribbon cutting ceremony for this new Center in mid October, 2016.
For us, this is a Dream in the making. For the Romanian animals, it is a Dream come true. Please help us invest in the future - with the goal to limit the needless suffering of unwanted cats and kittens. Thank you for your time and for reading our latest update. I wish you a lovely 2016! * Please enjoy the HOPE video, and thank you to Sir Paul McCartney and MPL for allowing us the use of the song "Hope of Deliverance" to use as our mobile clinic's theme song. Also please see how a spayathon is done in our video number 2.
