Cristina knows better than anyone that the only real solution for the very large numbers of stray animals is extensive sterilization.
So she started telling people about free sterilizations in other towns. A number of people wanted to have their animal helped, but to make an effort yourself?
Since Cristina doesn't have a car of her own, she had to pay someone to drive her. Of course she didn't have any benches or cages either, but stacked the animals in simple crates on top of each other in the car. 15 pieces at once.
At home, all helped animals were cared for for a few more days until they could safely go to their owner or were strengthened enough to go out on the street again.
Please note: Cristina has no staff and few supporters anyway… Her only helper is her own mother.
All the animals are in her house and garden, which is now literally overcrowded. She – and therefore the animals – lack everything.
We asked what was most important. And that was not one thing but three.
First of all, in the old house there are 2 rooms that could be renovated with our donations. The puppies, the old and vulnerable dogs and the animals that need extra care could stay dry and warm there.
Second, please new decent wind and waterproof dog houses. And third, she would like to build a large outdoor enclosure for the cats. They cannot walk around loose outside, then they will be killed by a car or fall prey to the malicious.
It's heartwarming to see the animals rev up and change from scared to friendly wagging their tails when they see Cristina. From just a body of skin and bones to a healthy body with flesh on the bones, from a bare skin full of sores to a shiny coat....
