Rancho Fino Mallorca Rescue Monthly Costs:
Approximately 9000 euros every 4 months for good quality hay.
65 euros every 6/7 days for a truck to bring water.
65 euros per bag(1 bag every 2 days) of good quality dog food. Grain free is best to get the maximum recovery for severely starved, neglected and sick dogs.
92 euros every 3 days for hypoallergenic food.
9 euros every 2 days for bags of corn, chicken food, pig, goat, and sheep pellets.
500- 2000 euros every month for medication and animal pain relievers.
In total the monthly expenses are around 4000 euros and up.
This is just a fraction of the costs for the very basics to ‘keep the lot alive’. And this isn’t including rent, deworming, defleaing, vet visits, blood tests, dental care, vaccines, castrations, sterilizations, skincare, fly spray, hoof trims, diapers, needles, bandages, medical care supplies, vitamins or minerals etc, etc, etc. AND let’s not forget that we haven’t even covered the materials we humans need to properly care for our animals, such as: fly-masks, jackets, rugs, brushes, halters, collars, leads, wheelchairs, housing, fencing, building materials and so on and so forth.
As you see, every euro does count and is very, very much appreciated!!
Did you know…
95% of Rancho Fino Mallorca Rescue animals are special needs, and in need of specialised veterinary care. On a weekly basis we have numerous emergencies where the animals are rushed to the vet, amounting to very high vet bills.
Every month we are fighting a huge battle to make ends meet and also having to carefully select who to help and sadly which vet needs are more important, as we cannot afford to say yes to all our rescues. These are heartbreaking decisions that would keep anyone awake at night. For many years I(and now my husband Sten) have worked very hard every month to cover the costs of our off-grid ranch. We work various hourly paid jobs as self employed individuals, and pour all our private income into the bills that are left to be paid, always leaving us at zero or in the negatives.
Our wish and absolute goal is to reach a consistent flow of donations in order to keep covering the costs for our animals. Reaching this goal would mean we would only need to work to cover our own living costs, and be more efficient with our time and have more time to focus on the ranch and not constantly live in survival mode.
