Animals
Without Limits is an international, non-profit foundation
dedicated to assisting animals and children in crisis situations.
It is 100% volunteer operated by a pool of dedicated, caring people
around the world.
Originally formed
in 1999 to help animals in war-ravaged areas, Animals Without Limits
has broadened its perspective beyond war and animals to include both
animals and children, who are dealing with the effects of disease, abandonment
and chronic crisis. Of particular interest is the relationship between
children and animals and how together they can overcome the effects
of the crisis in their lives.

Noted
animal psychiatrist, author and lecturer Mia Mattsson-Mercer created
the foundation in 1999, after attending a conference on the subject
in Sophia, Bulgaria. Since then, she and the foundation have worked
in the Balkans, Europe, Middle East and the USA in situations of hardship
and suffering for animals. 
Currently, all
resources are focused on the Naples, Italy area. Current projects are:
• Subsidize spay & neuter, and vaccination
programs
• Assist adoption organizations with medical bills, finding
foster homes
• Rescue and assistance of sick and dying strays
• Dog & Cat food donations to shelters
• Education programs for children and adults (focusing on issues
surrounding the animals)
It is sadly true that we can’t save or help them
all. But it is just as true that we can and must save and help those
we can, here and now. That is what we are doing in Naples. It may not
be a war zone, but there are animals that are in need of help, rescue
or euthanasia. There are animals that are suffering because of trauma,
chaos and an often less-than-friendly environment brought about by the
society they find themselves in... much like in a war zone.
Animals Without
Limits will continue to work to address the problems of animals in need
in a number of environments. They may not all be war zones, but to the
animals (and children) caught in them, they are no less dire or dangerous.
