Support our donation projects

Since 1881, we have been committed to protecting every single animal, fighting against cruelty to animals and supporting our affiliated animal shelters.

We have set up various donation projects in the different areas of animal welfare. We present these briefly below:

Our donation projects:

Animal welfare abroad We are also committed to helping neglected and suffering animals in distant parts of Europe. There, we help with castration campaigns and the care of stray animals, the expansion of animal shelters or the local placement of abandoned animals. Donate now
Tiertransporter mit Schafen eng aneinander gepfercht
Animal transportation Animal transports are still taking place! The journeys across Europe, even far beyond the EU borders, take far too long - the laws are too lax or are even disregarded. Then the animals - including countless calves - stand on the transporters for days without a break. This is where our political work to stop animal transports is indispensable. We are dependent on your financial support for this fight. Donate now
Viele Küken nebeneinander
Factory farming The number of animals in factory farming has risen sharply in recent years. We are fighting for better husbandry conditions. Donate now
Straßenkatze an Futterstelle.
Animal Welfare Center Odessa Our animal welfare center in Odessa continues to work for the animals. They look after the feeding stations for street animals and carry out cat neutering campaigns so that the vicious circle of uncontrolled reproduction does not start all over again. Thanks to your donations, we can buy urgently needed food and veterinary supplies and deliver them to Ukraine.

Zwei verwarloste Straßenkatzen
Castration of street cats The life of street cats is tough. Many of them are sick and malnourished. Hunger, thirst, parasites and infections weaken their skinny bodies and many suffer the consequences of accidents. Nevertheless, these cats also have offspring several times a year. There is only one way to prevent the misery from spreading further: the cats must be neutered, a huge financial outlay. Please help us with this. Donate now

Kühe im Stall hinter Gitterstäben
Animal suffering in the dairy industry Many dairy cows in Germany live in miserable conditions. Bred for high performance, they are so emaciated after a few years that not even the slaughterhouse can use their meat. And all because more and cheaper milk has to be produced! Their calves are born so that their mothers can continue to produce milk. Most of them are worthless for the dairy industry. Help us to put an end to the suffering of animals in the dairy industry. Donate now
Schweine in einem Transporter
The suffering of pigs In factory farming, the natural needs of pigs are systematically trampled underfoot. Mother pigs are crammed into narrow metal crates and are not allowed to build a nest for their offspring. Distraught, fearful fattening pigs that see daylight for the first time during transportation to the slaughterhouse. We stand up for every single animal so that the suffering comes to an end. Please help us to do so.

Vernachlässigte rote Katze aus Animal Hoarding Fall schaut traurig in die Kamera
Animal Hoarding Cramped conditions, filth and an acrid stench, hardly any water or food: animal hoarding means unbelievable suffering. The term describes a condition in which owners cram dozens or even hundreds of animals together in the smallest of spaces. For cats and dogs, but also for other animals, it is a daily struggle for survival. When a case of animal hoarding comes to light, animal shelters are faced with an exhausting and mammoth task. Please support us in helping animal shelters in these emergency situations. Donate now
KeyVisual von FINDEFIX mit Hund, Katze und Findi
FINDEFIX pet register Imagine your beloved pet runs away. Without identification and registration, it is almost impossible to track down the owners of a lost animal and inform them of their pet's whereabouts. By registering with FINDEFIX - the pet register of the German Animal Welfare Federation - we ensure that lost, registered animals find their way back to their owners. Please support us with a donation so that even more animals can be registered and find their way home again quickly. Donate now
