Animal Welfare: Managing Stray Cats and Dogs

Need

Playa del Carmen is one of the fastest-growing cities in Latin America but this growth hasn't been well organised and has resulted in a host of concerns. Among them is the amount of dogs and cats that roam the streets. Although some owners care for them, many lack money or transportation to access the resources necessary. Some neglect and abandon them in the street. Additionally, roaming animals suffer from preventable diseases and are left to scavenge and continue reproducing unchecked.

Long term impact

During the five years our project has been running, we have spayed or neutered 18 500 dogs and cats. They have 2 permanent veterinarians and a permanent community support program. They are also committed to education which encourages responsible pet ownership and challenges negative perceptions of feral cats, sometimes resulting in cruelty. With your support we will develop this model across Latin America.
