Chitré, Herrera
October 1-2, 2022
Chitré is located in the Azuero Peninsula, it was founded more than 170 years ago and it preserves many countryside customs; the population is approaching 60,000 inhabitants.
About ten years ago, a group of young people from Chitré approached SpayPanama wanting to take the spay/neuter program over there to improve animal welfare. Over 12,000 animals have been sterilized up to 2021. We have not been able to do a spay event in 2022. It has been exhausting work, but we need to continue with the mission that is grounded in fixing the roots. Our mission is to work so that children do not grow up insensitive to pain, seeing animals struggling to survive between misery and contempt, and believe that this is normal, because it is not.
On October 4th, World Animal Day is commemorated around the world With the grant, we can announce the mega spay event for World Animal Day thanks to your foundation. Cat spay/neuters at $5 per cat and $10 per dog, to include in addition of the sterilization, the deworming, cleaning of ears, topical solution of fipronil, and an injection of vitamins. No animal will be rejected if the guardian/rescuer does not have the total contribution.
