The Marchig Animal Welfare Trust was established in 1989 by the late Madame Jeanne Marchig of Geneva, because of her deep concern for nature and animals and in memory of her husband, the painter Giannino Marchig.
The objects of the Trust are to protect animals and to promote and encourage practical work in preventing animal cruelty and the relief of animal suffering.
These objects are pursued by the Trust in two ways, Grants and Awards.
We are delighted to have received a grant of €8,000.00 in 2023 from the The Marchig Animal Welfare Trust to help towards the cost of the TNR program for homeless and stray cats in County Roscommon. Your contribution has made a remarkable difference in helping the vast number of cats that have been Spayed and neutered in the County.
Every year we are inundated with litters of kittens, so many are ill, inbred, and suffering badly, and the poor mother cats are no more than kittens themselves. It will go a long way to alleviate those poor cats’ suffering.
