    2021 Annual Report

    NUCA Animal Welfare

  • About Us

     

    NUCA Animal Welfare is a non-governmental and non-profit organization, relying exclusively on the work of a team of volunteers, which has been working for 10 years for the benefit of society at large.

    The main goal of our association is to improve the quality of the life of pets in Cluj-Napoca and its surroundings and to stop abandonment. We try to achieve our goal by organizing sterilization and registered microchipping programs to prevent uncontrolled breeding and reduce the number of stray animals, rescuing endangered animals, organizing information and education campaigns, but also through adoptions, counseling for animal lovers and cooperation with the authorities.
    In 2021, together with other animal protection associations in Cluj, we assigned a unique telephone number for sterilization requests.
    The 2015 Nuca project, which turned into a local council decision on the possession and public access of pets in Cluj-Napoca, was once again discussed in order to be amended and our association was part of the task team assigned to do this.

  • What We’ve Accomplished In 2021

    We put a lot of soul in our work which often means sleepless nights, anger, fatigue, tears of sadness, but also immense joy.

    2488 animals

    We’ve set a new record for sterilized dogs and cats, most of them registered, with the help of 4 veterinary clinics from Cluj, Huedin, Beiuş and Sălciua!

    1814 sterilized cats

    Because the life of stray cats is very hard. We focused on stopping the uncontrolled multiplication of the stray cat colonies.

    Over 700 animals

    assisted with veterinary treatments. NUCA covered the costs for the abandoned or community animals and also for those with owners who couldn’t afford to pay.

    Over 150 animals

    were saved from dangerous situations, without any surviving chances. We took them in and placed them in our foster care system.

    170 adoptions

    in families from Romania and abroad, who welcomed their new members with open hearts.

    ~ 15000 people

    helped with guidance or concrete actions in order to save, capture, sterilize or treat animals in distress.

  • Pet Rescue

    Saving an animal will not change the world, but for that animal the world will change forever. We’ve made the difference between life and death for 150 animals. Destinies that would have ended tragically, but which we managed to rewrite with your help.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Apollo

    He waited 9 years for a family

     

     

    170 dogs and cats

    Have now a family who welcomed them with open arms. We wish them fulfilled lives together and we are glad we contributed to their future happiness.

  • Special Cases

    All animals are special, but these ones are a bit „more special”, maybe because they gave us a hard time. Here are some terrifying stories we want to share with you. Fortunately, they all have a happy ending.

    Rita

    Although she was paralyzed in a car accident, after many expensive operations and treatments, Rita found her perfect family and happiness in England!

    Nessy

    Nessy is lucky to be alive. The fact that he lost both legs is not an obstacle for him and he is now a perfect dog. "Particularly perfect" we would say!

    Alin

    was brought to us more dead than alive. He underwent several difficult operations followed by a long recovery period. Now he greets us every day with a big smile.

    Meda

    It seems that not only cars are a danger to cats, but bicycles too, as in the case of Meda. All’s well that ends well, even if she lost an eye!

    Pralina

    Pralina is an expensive cat, both literally and figuratively. When we see her running around the house, we can't believe that she was in danger of losing 3 legs and only a miracle (and a few operations) saved her!

    Atlas

    Atlas taught us what it means to be a fighter and never give up! Although he is blind and half paralyzed, with love and many treatments, Atlas slowly came back to life!

    A little from here, a little from there, that's how we gather money for another sterilization, for another treatment. Thank you for thinking of the less fortunate animals and helping us to help them.
