A new animal protection association in Schwerin is looking for committed members for castration campaigns in order to reduce animal suffering.
Animal protection in Schwerin: New association is looking for helping hands for animals in need!
In Schwerin, everything revolves around animal protection at the moment: The “Animals in Need Schwerin & Surroundings” association is about to be officially founded and is urgently looking for more committed supporters. The aim is to reduce the great animal suffering among stray cats and urban pigeons in the region. However, without the registered form of association, important animal protection measures cannot be implemented. This has made the initiative even more important, especially for the animals, who often suffer from injuries and lack of care.
As [Schwerin.news](https:// Schwerin.news/2025/11/29/tierschutz-in- Schwerin-neuer-verein-tiere-in-not-in-grundung-sucht-engagierte-mitstreiterinnen-und-kundet-december-aktions-an/) reports, the new association currently lacks its own funds. We are therefore looking for committed citizens who are willing to take on different tasks: from social media to public relations to organizing castration campaigns. Those responsible have high hopes for the year 2026, when funding will be applied for to expand animal protection work.
Planned activities in December
To ensure that animal suffering is reduced in socially challenged neighborhoods, the association has already planned several actions. There are three special missions on the program for December:
- 20. Dezember: Katzen-Einfangaktion ab 18 Uhr auf dem Dreesch 3
- 21. Dezember: Entschnürungsaktion von Tauben ab 11 Uhr am Pfaffenteich
- 27. Dezember: Katzen-Einfangaktion ab 13 Uhr im Stadtteil Görries
The profiles of the free-living cats and pigeons show that many of them are in need. FOUR PAWS is committed nationwide to improving the situation of certain stray animals, as can be seen from the information on their website. Castration and education are at the heart of the strategy. Uncontrolled breeding could result in one unvaccinated cat and its offspring giving rise to over 370,000 new cats in just seven years, according to PETA. Given these numbers, it becomes clear how important animal protection is - also in Schwerin.
Volunteering required
The operations in Schwerin are more than just short-term solutions. They aim to build a network that promotes education, engagement and social cohesion. Children and young people are warmly invited to take part and take responsibility for the animals in their environment. This not only strengthens the sense of responsibility, but also brings a breath of fresh air into the community.
The demand for support is high. The private initiative “Strünerseelen – stray souls foundation” has similar goals, provides food and organizes castration campaigns. As their website streunerseelen.org describes, the work is supported primarily by private donations and future crowdfunding campaigns.
If you are interested in supporting animal protection in Schwerin or even becoming part of the new association, you should definitely find out more about the association's official website. Whether as a supporter, helper or just an animal lover - every helping hand can make a difference!
