San Sabastian Helps the Cause...

Last Friday, October  5 th, Pro Animal Gomera (PAG) signed an agreement with the city hall of San Sebastian to spay feral and half feral female cats all around the county.  Great news, as the € 10 000 set aside for this purpose will assist in improving the present situation of these cats.  This action will also help those people who feel plagued by the over populated cat community. 

PAG is once again asking for the cooperation of all of it’s neighbors in the San Sabastian community to assist in these efforts.  All citizens are asked to report any cat colonies in their area to PAG (tel. Nr. 922-80-58-55) and may further help by bringing any feral or half feral female cats directly to one of the local veterinary clinics for spaying.  Once those cats have been properly sterilized, citizens are asked to pick up “their” cats and return them to where they were caught or picked up.   Together we can help bring down the cat population numbers to something more controllable.

Pag wishes to remind everybody that the spaying of our female cat population has many advantages and very few, if any, disadvantages.

It is our hope that more counties / communities on the Island will follow the example shown by Mayor D. Manuel Herrera and his team.  To them our most gracious thank you.
