Bianca Animal Charity Sesimbra Portugal: stray cats are caught in a trap and operated on the next day
Sterilization to save animals from suffering and death that their overpopulation causes
A very important activity of Bianca Association is sterilization of stray animals, mostly cats. In 3 years time more than 1000 female stray cats have been sterilised (= neutered, spayed) and then returned to their place of living. This has prevented the birth of many thousands of kittens. In Sesimbra town the result is well visible: practically no kittens. The only very few ones being spotted are those that have been put on the streets by their former ‘owners’….
Sesimbra Portugal, veterinarian clinic: sterilization to save animals from suffering and death
The countryside around Sesimbra (south of Lisbon) is still a big problem, mainly because of its very large area (195 km2). So it will take many more years – if ever – to control the cat population there. The stray cats are caught in a trap and operated on the next day. Uterus and ovaries are removed through a small incision. A small tip of the right ear is removed as a sign that the cat has been sterilized (without the ear tipping it would be impossible to recognize the cats).
After at least 24 hr recovery the cats are liberated on the same spot as they were caught.
The fewer cats are born, the fewer cats have to suffer and die
Sterilizing is done in a humane way. All sutures remain inside so the cat doesn´t take them out. A long working antibiotic is administered by injection. After at least 24 hr recovery the cats are liberated on the same spot as they were caught.
What a beauty! A small tip of the right ear is removed, as a sign that the cat has been sterilized
