What does it mean to be a volunteer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Being a volunteer <\/strong>Being a volunteer is an enriching experience and vital for the well-being of stray cats and dogs. As a volunteer, you play a fundamental role in the management and care of cat colonies, which includes providing adequate food, cleaning and maintaining the space where the cats live, and implementing the CES method<\/a> (Capture, Sterilisation and Release), which is essential for controlling the cat population in an ethical and responsible manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the case of dogs, our mission is to rescue them from the streets and prevent them from ending up in a kennel at all costs. To do this, we have foster homes where they are given everything they need until they can be adopted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, volunteers<\/strong> are involved in the early detection and treatment of diseases, as well as in the socialisation and adoption of cats and dogs when possible. This work not only improves the quality of life of cats and dogs, but also contributes to public health and the balance of the urban ecosystem. Being a volunteer means being part of a community dedicated to the protection and respect for animal life.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
