Cottbus animal shelter in need: Urgently looking for supporters for animals!

The Cottbus animal shelter is sounding the alarm: The situation in the Cottbus Animal Welfare Association is tense and the limit has been reached. The increasing costs for veterinary visits and necessary repairs to the building are affecting the small club. “We can no longer manage the daily care of the animals alone,” said animal shelter manager Claudine Klose. Supporters are urgently needed, be it in the form of sponsors, animal sponsors or donations to the animal shelter, which is located at Am Großen Spreewehr 1a in 03044 Cottbus. Interested parties can contact us directly via email at [email protected].

In view of the increasing challenges in animal protection, Claudine Klose urgently appeals to the population and local companies. “We need committed helpers to support us,” she emphasizes. The options for support are diverse: from monthly funding to animal sponsorships to targeted donations. The aid is intended to keep animal protection and animal care at a high level.

The reasons for the crisis

The financial challenges are not just due to the high veterinary costs. The maintenance of the building also puts a massive strain on the coffers. Such situations are not uncommon in many animal shelters. According to a report by test.de The cost of animal welfare has increased year on year, leaving many organizations struggling to raise the funds needed to care for animals.

The survey by Finanztest and GfK shows that animal protection is the most common donation cause, indicating that more and more people are willing to donate to protect animals. However, the report also makes it clear that there are many dubious organizations, which is why it is even more important to choose trustworthy institutions.

Tips for donors

Anyone considering donating should make sure that the organization provides transparent information about its finances and projects. Donations to nonprofit organizations can be tax-deductible up to 20 percent of income, encouraging many to support animals in need.

But we not only have to be active in financial matters, but also in raising awareness about the topics of animal protection and animal husbandry. The Animal Welfare Association Cottbus e.V. invites citizens to get involved and improve the lives of animals. Together we can help animals' voices be heard and give them a better life.
