PGH Voice for Animals program supports projects, organizations, or individual people whose passion it is to defend the rights of animals, who protect animals and care for their wellbeing, doing so many times quietly on a shoestring budget as „unsung heroes“, or as legal warriors defending the animals‘ rights of ethical treatment and protection. If we engage in a project with financial help and/or dedication of time and resources, we have a detailed knowledge of the specific local situation, know the organizations and people involved and know that our help will make a direct impact on the protection and wellbeing of animals. We distribute funding based on budgets to the individuals, caretakers or organization in charge, monitor the results, and report what is being achieved to our donors.
Currently PGH Voice for Animals is supporting the project „Care for Feral Cat Colonies“ and „Find a Forever Home“ in Baleares, Spain
Regretfully it happens frequently that house-pets are abandoned by their owners. While this happens with with dogs, sadly it happens even more frequently with cats. A socialized cat who grew up in a house environment with humans will have a hard time adjusting to life on the streets, as they lack the survival skills and joining a feral cat colony is difficult for a socialized cat. They will try to adopt to street life but the process is stressful for them and they often soon end up malnourished and sick. They will try to find access to food and humans, but soon find that they are not welcome everywhere. When we identify an abandoned dog or cat (owner could either not be found or was found but rejected the animal) we try our best to find a suitable new Forever-Home. Often an abandoned animal needs medical attention before it can be placed, which then is provided by our partner Veterinarian clinic in Andratx. In every case, we try to get to know the personality of the animal, to make sure we find a good fit for him/her when looking for a new forever home. We assure that the animal will be loved and cared for in its new home and that its new home is a suitable environment. We assure that the animal is healed from injuries, healthy and vaccinated before placing it. While we try to find forever homes locally, we also access our personal network of trusted animal lovers and partner organizations in Switzerland. If we transport an animal to Switzerland, we do so personally, and bring the animal personally to its destination. Afterwards we stay in touch with the new forever moms and dads, to assure that everything has worked out well with their new adoption. Each dog and each cat has a special personality just like humans. Sometimes abandoned animals have experienced trauma and it takes time and patience to find its trust again. Nothing makes us happier than finding loving homes for our furry friends and seeing how much love and joy they can bring to their new owners. PGH covers all costs until the animal is in its new home. We do welcome donations and provide tax-deductible receipts (see info below).
Caring for feral cat colonies means:
Healthy cat colonies have a stable and balanced population with minimal reproduction, that lives in balance with the ecosystem and human population. Healthy cat colonies have a low incidence of contagious diseases and authorized caregivers provide food, water, and monitor the cats‘ health at dedicated locations.
Due to lack of funding, increasing costs, a harsh Corona lockdown in Spain that under penalty of law restricted TNR activities, the current cat population in many communities have reached a peak. This causes not only deteriorating conditions within the colonies and suffering of the animals, but sadly often also friction with residents. We are currently supporting our local partners in the reestablishment of healthy cat colonies in the municipality of Andratx, Spain.
Please read about what has been achieved, our goals and budgets in the this project flyer. 1-Pager_Project_Cat Colonies_Andratx_Jan_2024_EN_v2
