At IFA, our Genmitsu booth was about more than CNC routers and laser engravers. We invited visitors to support Tierhilfe R.a.L. e.V., a volunteer animal welfare group in Gladbeck, Germany that helps stray cats.
A small donation can make a difference
Visitors gave what they could during the show. Their donations help the group provide food, veterinary care, and a better chance for cats in need. After IFA, the team sent us a heartfelt thank-you:
“During the IFA trade fair, you gave visitors to your GENMITSU stand the opportunity to make a donation to help our stray cats. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you most sincerely for this. Every donation, however small, helps us to alleviate the suffering of stray cats by providing them with food and veterinary care. We wish your company continued success and would like to thank you once again most sincerely for your social commitment.”
Meet Tierhilfe R.a.L.
Tierhilfe R.a.L. e.V. (“Recht auf Leben,” or “Right to Live”) is based in Gladbeck. Its volunteers look after feeding stations, check on stray cats, arrange veterinary care, and help cats find homes.
Two of the cats in its care are Flauschi and Micky, a mother and daughter living with a volunteer foster family. Flauschi has been receiving treatment for feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) and is recovering. They are not ready for adoption yet, but their story shows why steady care matters.
Thank you for helping
To everyone who visited our booth and donated: thank you. Your kindness helped make IFA memorable for us and supported people doing important work for stray cats.
