The “Friends of the Animal Corner” Association operates independently, non-partisanly, and autonomously; its headquarters are in Vienna. The association is a non-profit organization and operates exclusively for the public good throughout Austria. 

Purpose: Protection of the environment, nature, and animal species. Above all, the association strives for animal-friendly breeding, care, and housing of animals in its care and advocates for animals to live in a manner that respects their dignity as living beings. A major concern of the association is raising public awareness and the level of information among the population, as well as motivating people to be conscious of the importance of environmental, nature, and species conservation, as well as animal welfare, in their lives and to act accordingly!

Through free listings in the “Kronen Zeitung” animal section, the association places pets with people who can guarantee optimal care and housing. The association provides general information and also addresses specific cases of animal neglect throughout Austria, which it resolves either through its own actions or by intervening with the relevant authorities. The association provides information via the print medium “Kronen Zeitung,” online media: krone.at/tierecke, including social media such as Facebook or Instagram, on all matters related to the association’s purpose.

Use of Donations in 2025:

• “Krone” Cat Shelter : The cat shelter was closedin April/May. The 31 cats cared for there have been transferred to the care of Gut Aiderbichl. To ensure the care of our animals, a monthly financial contribution toward ongoing care and maintenance costs was agreed upon with Gut Aiderbichl.

•  Payment of boarding costs, including food, as well as medical treatment by Dr. Franz Pürrer at the Schandl Animal Boarding Facility in 7372 Draßmarkt for older, unadoptable dogs or for dogs taken in by the association from poor living conditions—animal hoarding cases—and subsequently placed through the “Krone” Animal Corner. In 2025, Ms. Schandl housed three dogs from the “Tierecke.”
