The municipality of Vila do Bispo has recently teamed up with Projeto Patinhas de Sagres Associação de Proteção Animal, a non-profit organisation dedicated to advocating for the rights of animals, particularly strays and felines, to improve their quality of life.
The collaboration agreement, signed by Deputy Mayor Dora Guerreiro and the president of the charity Nuno da Encarnação, aims to foster a cooperative relationship for a project focused on promoting adoption awareness and animal welfare initiatives.
As part of the partnership, the association will be responsible for implementing a Capture, Sterilize and Return (CED) programme, identifying and caring for colonies of street cats in the Sagres parish, educating the public and caregivers on proper animal care, providing medical attention to animals in need, maintaining clean colony areas to prevent disease transmission, and ensuring the animals are fed properly.
To support the association’s efforts, the municipality has pledged financial support totalling €17,221.00, as well as technical and logistical assistance.
This partnership between the municipality and Projeto Patinhas de Sagres – Associação de Proteção Animal exemplifies a commitment to animal welfare and community collaboration in the region.
