Based on the Integrated Framework for the Protection and Welfare of Animals implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment, an annual Stray Cat Neutering Scheme with a budget of €75,000 is being implemented.
This Plan aims to cover the cost of neutering by the State, in order to reduce the uncontrolled breeding of cats and is open to the participation of Municipal and Community Councils and registered Animal Welfare Organisations, provided that they submit their interest to the Veterinary Services.
Taking into account the positive results that this Project has yielded each year and the great interest in participation, the Council of Ministers approved a Proposal of the Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment, approving the implementation of this Project as of this year, with an increase in the amount available from €75,000 to €100,000.
In the coming days there will be an announcement of the Plan by the Veterinary Services, through which further information on the expression of interest by interested parties will be provided.
