Care standards
How we care for every animal
Animal care must be appropriate to each animal's age, health, background, and individual circumstances. These are the principles that guide our daily work.
Daily feeding and fresh water
Regular meals suited to each animal, with constant access to fresh water.
Clean, comfortable surroundings
Daily cleaning and soft, quiet places to rest.
Monitoring behavior and wellbeing
Paying close attention to changes in appetite, mood, and health.
Veterinary attention when required
Examinations and treatment according to individual needs.
Vaccination and preventive care
Preventive healthcare where appropriate.
Neutering and identification
Where applicable, cats are neutered and ear-marked before leaving the shelter.
Attention to stress and adjustment
Giving animals time and calm to settle in.
Humane, appropriate handling
Gentle treatment that respects each animal's limits.
Individual consideration
No two animals are alike, and neither is their care.
Responsible rehoming
Thoughtful matching between animals and new homes.
Veterinary care and wellbeing
Health is the foundation of a second chance
Appropriate veterinary examinations, preventive healthcare, vaccinations, and necessary treatments are an essential part of responsible shelter operations. Health care is always decided according to the needs of the individual animal.
