Voice for Animals

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“ in Baleares, Spain.

Care for Feral Cat Colonies Andratx, Spain

Caring for feral cat colonies means:

1. Avoiding malnutrition by providing them with basic food and water supply
2. Providing anti-parasite treatments and administrating medical care for ill animals
3. Limiting the reproduction through Trap-Neuter-Release programs (TNR)
4. Finding new homes for abandoned socialized cats.

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.

Project Focus

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.

What we do specifically

• 25 cat colonies live currently in the municipality of Andratx; which need food and medical care throughout the year. Appr. 300 cats need neutering in 2024, and 170 each year thereafter.
• Via our association “tú y tu pueblo” (currently in formation), we have initiated a dialogue with the city officials, with the goal to facilitate a public-private collaboration, that assures an ethical management of the cat colonies, as well as the allocation of a public budget.
• We organize and fund the dialogue on the legal rights of the animals as defined by the new animal protection law, as well as the rights of the volunteer care givers and organizations, carrying out their activities.
• We raise funding to support the TNR program, medical care, and food for the cats; we distribute the funds based on budgets to the veterinarians, partners organizations and care givers, we monitor milestones what was achieved, and report the results to the donors.
