Pego Street Cat Survey

APROP are collaborating with the Pego Ayuntamiento to identify street cat colonies in Pego. The aim of this project is to ensure that the Ayuntamiento can request the appropriate amount of grant money for sterilisation, and also so that the colonies can be legalised and their principal carers licenced. This will help to ensure that the colonies can be monitored and cared for legally.

It is important that Pego street cats are sterilised so that their numbers can be controlled and also so that infectious diseases within the colonies can be identified and managed. APROP will support the licenced Pego colony managers to help them carry out a programme of trapping and sterilisation.
