September 21 Course for cat colony caretakers in Alhama de Murcia

The training aims to improve the overall welfare of feral cats in Alhama

Animal abandonment continues to be a problem in the Region of Murcia and indeed throughout Spain, with the numbers of unwanted dogs and cats on the streets sadly growing each year. This issue has also resulted in a booming feral cat population in Alhama de Murcia.

As a result, the department of Animal Welfare of the Alhama de Murcia Town Council is organising a training course for aspiring cat colony caretakers.

This course is aimed at all those people interested in the care and management of feline colonies, with the aim of improving the welfare of these animals in the municipality.

The course will be held on Saturday September 21, from 9am to 1pm, on the ground floor of the Plaza de la Constitución (former premises of the Local Police).

This course is an excellent opportunity to learn about best practices in the care of feline colonies, including feeding, health and population control. In addition, topics related to coexistence and respect for these animals will be addressed.

Registration: Interested parties can register through the following link: https://ayuntamiento.alhamademurcia.es/inscripcion-colonias-felinas.asp.

The deadline for registration is Wednesday September 18.

Please note that places are limited to 20, so additional registrations will be placed on a waiting list after the maximum number of participants is reached.
