The campaign, conducted in Vila Nova de Milfontes, resulted in the sterilization of 112 animals and the intervention for 8 others that were sick or injured. The felines were returned to their respective colonies after the procedures performed in a controlled environment.
This initiative is part of a collaboration protocol between the Municipality of Odemira and the Associação Animais de Rua, with the support of the Associação Milpatas, a local animal protection organization. The agreement foresees future sterilization actions in the municipality.
Sterilization is a fundamental measure of the CED (Capture – Sterilization – Release) program, which the municipality has been developing since 2018 through the Veterinary Service of the Official Collection Center to control stray cats.
