September 27 & 30 Pet adoption fair and cat colony course in Alhama de Murcia

Alhama is launching another campaign to promote responsible pet ownership and giving animals a chance to find a home

Alhama de Murcia is rounding out the month with another campaign aimed at our furry friends. Among the activities scheduled are a training course on feline colony management and the fourth Free Adoption Fair, which will take place on the day of the weekly market along Avenida Juan Carlos I.

The council aims to raise awareness about responsible pet ownership, highlight animals waiting for a home and improve coexistence in the municipality through the new animal welfare ordinance.

On Saturday September 27, the Casa de la Cultura will host a free cat colony management course. Attendees will learn about care protocols, disease prevention and best practices to obtain an authorised cat caretaker card.

Then on Tuesday September 30, the fourth Free Adoption Fair will take place along Avenida Juan Carlos I during the weekly market. In collaboration with Anguimar, residents will have the opportunity to meet dogs and cats looking for permanent homes.

The animals will be microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, sterilised and issued with a European passport, with all costs covered by the Alhama de Murcia Council and the shelter.

During the fair, bag dispensers and bottles for cleaning up faeces and urine will be distributed to remind the public that the new municipal ordinance requires keeping streets clean and well maintained.

Councillor Dori Muñoz highlighted that these activities aim to "improve the lives of animals and strengthen public awareness of the responsibility involved in living with them."
