Dear donor and friend, today I will tell you about our sterilization campaigns. There are two of them, both totally different, but though important. I call them The Big Ones and the small ones. The small ones benefit strays and feral cats of our village, Tabio. Whenever someone reports a new dog in the streets, they call and we organize the procedure, which is not easy at all, because though we have a trap for cats, we lack of the appropiate infrastructure to capture dogs. However, the person who reports the case, usually is willing to help, sometimes they’ve already captured the animal and we only have to make the appointment for surgery. So, most of these particular animals get adopted and there is only a small percentage which has to be released to their former habitat, the street or the outskirts. Unfortunately, we are still in the educational pase and it would be impossible to gather hundreds of animals in just one event. Besides, we ourselves are still learning and that’s how we came to participate in The Big Ones!!! These are awesome, because they are carried out in remote places, social hotspots with a high level of animal overpopulation. You see animals chained to trees, females with their newborn litters, living in the trash, starving and sick dogs and cats. The volunteers are experienced folks and the contracted veterinarian has a highly trained team and equipment, willing to spay/neuter 100 to 150 animals in one single day. It’s quite impressive and so inspiring. That’s where you see that your donations are so well spent!! I can’t ever thank you enough for your support!!!
