Castration Weeks: How to save Katzenleben in Ludwigshafen!
The animal protection association Ludwigshafen recently called for an important initiative: from 13th to 26th January 2025, grants for the castration of cats are to be offered. This measure is aimed at cat owners in Ludwigshafen and interested parties from all over Germany. The reason for the grants is the alarming overpopulation of cats, which can be observed in animal shelters and by submission animals. The animal protection association participates in nationwide castration weeks to counteract this problem. For more information, interested parties can contact the association on 0621/58 42 90 or by email at mail (at) nospamterschutzverein-ludwigshafen.de, such as Speyer-kurier.de reported.
castration weeks in Rhineland-Palatinate
In addition, the Landesverband Rheinland-Pfalz of the German Animal Welfare Association and various animal welfare associations initiated castration weeks, which are to take place from January 15th to 28th, 2025. The aim of this campaign is to contain the overpopulation of freely living cats. Tier owners receive support from animal protection associations and veterinarians in carrying out the castrations. In view of the fact that animal shelters often work at the limit of their capacities and many stray cats suffer from diseases, the castration is considered an important measure to prevent uncontrolled offspring.The animal welfare associations offer financial help for castrations, whereby interested cat owners can receive grants if they submit a certificate from a veterinarian. This campaign is financed by a castration fund that is dependent on donations. The participating animal welfare associations include TSV in the district of Kusel, TSV Koblenz, etc., TSV Bingen and TSV Mainz. Every year, over 10,000 cats must be supplied in the member associations, which causes annual costs of around 800,000 euros. The animal protection association calls for a nationwide uniform cat protection regulation and points out that three municipalities have already passed castration regulations in Rhineland-Palatinate: the municipality of Brohltal, the municipality of Mainfeld and the city of Worms, such as Tierschutz-rlp.de emphasized.
