Expression of interest from local authorities, animal welfare organisations and veterinarians
On the basis of the Integrated Framework for the Protection and Welfare of Animals implemented by the Veterinary Services, the start of the implementation of the Pancyprian Stray Cat Neutering Plan for 2022 is announced, with a total cost of 100.000 euros.
The implementation of the Plan will be undertaken by the Provincial Veterinary Offices in cooperation with the local authorities and with the help of the Provincial Animal Welfare Committees and registered animal welfare organizations on the basis of expressions of interest from these organizations.
The implementation of the Plan will be undertaken by the Provincial Veterinary Offices in cooperation with the local authorities and with the help of the Provincial Animal Welfare Committees and registered animal welfare organizations on the basis of expressions of interest from these organizations.
Each Municipal or Community Council and each registered animal welfare organisation interested in participating in the Scheme is invited to submit, by 20 May 2022, a completed form to their Provincial Veterinary Office.
Individuals and unregistered groups acting as volunteers caring for many animals can only participate through Local Authorities or registered animal welfare organisations. The list of Local Authorities and animal welfare organisations participating in the Scheme will be posted on the Veterinary Services website.
The Veterinary Services also invite all registered veterinarians to register their interest in participating in the Pancyprian Stray Cat Neutering Scheme.
Only registered veterinarians with properly equipped veterinary clinics, in terms of surgery and post-operative care of cats, will participate in the Scheme. The aim is that, irrespective of the number of veterinarians working in these clinics, sterilisation should be evenly distributed among all veterinary clinics.
Registered veterinarians who do not have clinics and who choose to participate in the Scheme must indicate the clinic where they will carry out sterilisation and submit, together with their interest, the relevant agreement of use/collaboration with that clinic.
In this context, all interested veterinarians are invited, by May 20, 2022, to declare to the Veterinary Office of the Province where they operate, their intention to participate in the Project by submitting signed originals of all required documents.
All relevant documents can be retrieved from the Veterinary Services website at VETERINARY SERVICES - Animal Welfare.
